After a week of basically no Facebook, I can't go back to it for one reason: Pace.

I have realized that checking the Facebook feed habitually kept me in a constantly amped-up state, and if I didn't check it constantly I fell behind, and couldn't catch up.

After a week of no newsfeed I am calmer, I have an enormous amount of time available to me suddenly... I can't believe I spent that much time on it before, but maybe I did?

Life is better without Facebook.

I have logged in a couple of times to check comments on a thread I am participating in, and to see photos of my friends' kids, but no newsfeed for me... it's just a long string of useless garbage.

Weird.

So this week, Pubski, maybe just a nice tawny Port, to sip quietly in my chair as I watch the Pacific Northwest slip into the most gorgeous winter in memory...
