do you think that went well?
boing boing had this to share today. an artist in ny stenciling sidewalk psychiatry. she describes the piece "As people sacrifice personal time for hectic schedules, these casual occasions for reflection become all the more important." all too true. my schedule leaves little room for self reflection. taking the bus last night was the longest mindless down time in a while. after the family is taken care of, i get so caught up w internet or tv or email, that its a conscious decision to stop and read for pleasure or listen to music or just sit and talk. sad, eh? this post just happens to coincide w/ the upcoming national tv free week - april 21-28. its a challenge to myself (and jala2 if he so chooses), to turn off the tv and computer, and maybe take a moment to read whats written on the sidewalks.

its hard to do. i've learned the things that sometimes are the most fun to do, require the most work. i play tennis on saturday mornings. and in the morning i ride the bus instead of subway - that starts the day slowly.
but at night, same thing, and here i am on the computer while julie sleeps and i could be reading.
love you!
A) I know exactly what you mean.
B) That sidewalk psychiatry is pretty awesome.
