a media fast is where i take a break from all commercial media. i began taking media fasts in the 80's, before the internet explosion, but the concept enveloped the internet easily. digital or printed, fashion, science, etc. reports remain reports from external sources.

today begins week two of family vacay. this would be my second visit to the internet since i left the farm and ? ? ? hmmmmmm.... the visit sure feels sputtery and muttery. probably nothing more than the vacation spirit distracting me from my habitual worry streams and that's what vacations are for. fasts, too, be they dietary, media or sabbatical.

anybody else practice fasting?

copy/paste contributions and hot links welcome, also

p.s. vacay is going well. it be a bit treachourous to be so near my beloved rivers but unable to visit them because childcare duties are keeping me here at the den, butttttttaaaaaaa. . . it feels good to be breating the river air.
