I can't really be Bach - I'm tone-deaf and even tuning a guitar is a mission ...
I've just spent two sweltering hot months in the north of Nam building - got a lot of work done but I'm glad to be online again ... thanks to all who visited and commented ... I appreciate it.
The reason I stay off line while I'm home is that there I only have a VERY expensive and snail-slow dial-up connection ... simple pages take ages to load and often just time-out ... I just can't afford it ... I have to force myself to go cold-turkey ...

... do you remember how you used to spend your time before the internet? I don't have a TV there either and apart from buying a newspaper when I go to town for supplies - no news - and you know what? ... it doesn't matter ...
So how do I pass the time on cold turkey? ... Well, after a hard day's work it's usually a time for introspection and the making of resolutions which I never keep ...
... that's why I'm Bach ...

well it sure is good read you're back.
ReplyDeletethat's interesting about your other disconnected place. My brother lives in a somewhat isolated place (in the middle of US - noless).
It comes down to our choices. I like to visit cities but could never live in a big one.
Thanks lisleman ...
ReplyDeleteyes, the irony is that here in the middle of the desert I have a high-speed connection but up north, where I'm only 10 miles from town I have a lousy dial-up line ...
You're right about choices - and in a way it's a good thing to abandon the internet for awhile, it helps keep things in perspective ...
Well understood. I have a EVDO connection when I go to see my mom. It is incredibly slow at times and very expensive when doing anything beyond basic emailing. Keep well until we "meet" again. Look forward to your scheduled posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting Joyful - I appreciate it ...
