I only take my driver’s license, health insurance card and house keys when I go running – no phone or music.

Paris Goat is my kind of guy. I wish there was a Beanie figure of him, like there is of Rat and Pig.

How sweet to go for a walk without anyone else having the ability to disturb you electronically. I do it nearly every day!

My only concession to technology is my computer. No cell phone, GPS, iPod, Nook, Blue Tooth, digital camera, etc. and I am just fine!

As one who observes the Jewish Sabbath, I consider myself blessed to have a 25 hour period each week in which I use no electronics. The walk to synagogue is beautiful and uninterrupted, and Friday evening and Saturday afternoons are spent studying and/or reading, and talking to family and friends. It’s a great way to unwind after a hectic week!
