I used to cruise through them, but now I get jumpy, you're right. Info crazed.

I still enjoy a good book, though. Just picked up 'Fall on your Knees' from the library. Story time !

What makes me nuts is watching kids who are glued to their smartphones. Was at the Carnegie with a group of students last week and they all had them on and continually checked them. This, in the midst of a museum with stimulating artwork everywhere you look. Ugh.
