Next weekend I’m getting away for a long weekend in Tennessee. There’s a huge music festival going, and for four days I plan on wandering the grounds with no real plans, sipping beer, and watching some of the most talented bands on the planet. I’m really looking forward to getting away with no real agenda. These days, the difference between work and home has blended into no difference at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love technology. I love the fact that cell phones in many ways are as capable as computers. And I love that you can do all of this from wherever you like. The blessing is also a curse. It sweetens the time that you’re gone (with email turned off).
To those asking, “who are you going to see?” Check out the rest of the post.
