Analog living

Sycamore leaves from a bench in Field Park.  

I learned about Courtney Carver from Leo Babauta.  Saw this:

Last Sunday, we went for a six mile hike and passed by twenty lakes. What made it even better is our phones didn’t work at all. Never underestimate the healing power of spending time in a wifi-free forest. If you live near a forest, plan a walk. If a walk through the forest isn’t possible for you, consider a five, ten or twenty four hour break from phones and digital devices and see how you feel. This hike was a great reminder for me to get back to longer blocks of analog living.

Yesterday in the car, I get two spam calls back to back while driving to volleyball game.  Even though I have my ringer turned off on my phone, because I was listening to Spotify, the phone rings in my car.  Good vibe of the song is gone.  I have to hit the decline call button and wait for the phone and car to disconnect and get back to the music.   Next came a phone call from Henry's dad requesting his iCloud password.  The first three attempts don't work.  Step dad is annoyed, J is trying to problem solve.  A cloud of dissatisfaction and annoyance fills the car.  

Right before the annoying step dad call, I'm telling J how annoying the two spam calls were.  The interrupting itself is the main problem.
