Something I have to do

I really really really must get offline.  Like, now.  I've been trying to post for 55 minutes now that I'm going to be offline, mostly, for about the next 10-14 days to do a variety of projects (including take a vacation), but I'm too busy reading posts and checking headlines and this is not getting all of my work done but damn y'all are my friends and I like having tea in the mornings with you!!!  But I must be strong, as the New York Times told me this morning: "Consistently doing any activity that requires self-control seems to increase willpower — and the ability to delay gratification is highly associated with success in life."  So, this will be good for me in several ways, or so says the Oracle of Dell.  

And, to be honest, I need to do this for more than the next 10 days.  More like four to eight weeks.  But we'll start with the next two weeks and take it from there. 

So, please don't think I'm ignoring you when I'm not posting comments.  I'll be peeking in about 45 minutes a day, time to read but not time enough to post replies or many words of my own. 

I'm trying to be strong!  :-)  

Okay, have fun kids, and I'll check in with you later.
