I'm taking a couple of weeks off, not only from my weekly "Thoughts" column, but also from the computer itself. I've got some time to myself, with no "irons in the fire," what better time to break my routine of reading and writing? I'm going to try to remember what it was like, and what I did, before I got wired.

No story for this week. This file is here solely to provide the above link to TIME magazine.
