talking more-time spending

adventure work-out people
Part of the excitement was just seeing how the world would respond. I kind of like uncertainty to some extent, because it's a little bit of suspense and excitement and adventure, almost, right?

letting-go self expectations

email robots disappear
Email is not going to disappear. Possibly ever. Until the robots kill us all.
