Taking a Break

 

For various and sundry reasons, I have decided to take a break from Facebook.  We all know that social media can be a really good thing.  It can reconnect you with friends and family, talk about your vacations, share wedding photos and baby pictures, relive fond memories.

It can also be a pain in the ass.  Need I list all of the ways? I have also found that I am spending an inordinate amount of my leisure time here when I could be reading a book, watching television, or having cocktails and conversations with my wife. So I've just decided to take a break for a bit.  If nothing else, I can already feel my tension levels lowering because I won't be seeing the latest atrocities emanating from the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.

I have not deleted my account, and I may still post my Grandstander Blog posts there so that they can find a wider audience.  (You can also go the www.grandstander.blogspot.com and choose to "Follow" the blog.)

I am going to try a variation of the "one day at a time" school of thought on this.  My initial goal is to just stay away from reading and posting (other that the aforementioned Grandstander posts) through the month of April, at which time I'll reevaluate the whole thing.

See you on the other side and please stay in touch in other ways. It is possible, you know.
