Power.
We hear a lot about it. We’re taught from an early age to seek and seize it. We’re warned against being hungry for it to the point of our own stupidity. We see those chasing after it, those willing to sell their souls for it, and we often hear it [...]
Today, I’d planned an article on Literacy and how our reading habits are changing. And then I ran across an article in the New York Times on this subject and saw that they’ve been working on this–and confirming my fears and more.

WORKING AT HOME:
WHAT’S THE UPSIDE, PERKS AND BEST?
WHAT’S THE DOWNSIDE, DRAWBACKS AND WORST?
When we’re stuck in a 9 to 5 job, married to a desk, or we’re torn between being at home with the kids when the family really could use a second income, our thoughts often turn to [...]

Life, they say, is what happens while you’re otherwise occupied. I’m not sure if I believe that, but I do believe that you can miss life by being occupied.
