Free

Screen free

for one week.

What does that mean to me?

Well...

instead of the

"No TV week!"

of yesteryear

my new spin 

(a.k.a. twist of phrase)

takes  the 

focus

away from what is being excluded

and the emphasis is

placed

where it should be...

on the return.

The return to real books.

The return to quiet

moments.

The return of summer.

I have been saying

I haven't had that summer feeling

yet...

with long hours to dedicate

at the computer...

why?

Long hours of watching Netflix...

cuz I have an addiction

to that big sixty inch.

Screens have a way of stripping

me of my calm.

Does that make sense to anyone

out there?

Which is why I have eliminated

the Kindle and even my

bedside clock radio.

They chip at my soul.

I am a firm believer 

in the old adage...

extreme times call for

extreme measures.

I want to feel each and every

long-hour of daylight

that the solstice

brought my way...

even if I get a little twitchy

because

I am ready to experience 

the void.

With absolutely no planned

itinerary

to fill it.

This week...

I'm off-roading it.

It's going to be a bumpy ride

filled with unexpected

twists and turns

narrow escapes

smooth terrains...

I'm ready for wherever

the road takes me.

When the ride is over I will be able to say

Hello, Summer!

Won't you join me?

p.s. I can still be reached via land lines...

please take a moment to 

leave a message

See you after my trip.

;)
