My family, living in Silicon Valley, recently unplugged for an entire year! It was so difficult, but so worthwhile. It was a life-changing experience. You can read more about our story at http://www.AYearUnplugged.com.

Um, I was doubting MY use of the English language. Maybe we’ll get you to Counselors Academy in Vegas next year and you can take Daryl Salerno’s “English as a second language” course. I failed this year.

Of course it’s a word – you doubt my authority of the English language?

I just have a ton of ideas bubbling around in my head, and I always want to blog them right there.

Ha, I’m just checking out Amplify more from a curiosity angle than anything. I’ve seen a few of my posts shared this way, and also heard good things about it from people I respect.

So far, it looks pretty cool, and a great way to expand on a standard tweet. The only concern I have is that it takes away attention from the main post itself – I’ll be looking at how many folks click through to the fuller article on the originating blog.

Danny, the only time I’ve known you NOT to blog is when you were out for health reasons and there was still activity on your blog. So what is this antsiness (is that a word?) you speak of?!?

While I have you, I have a question. How the heck do you find time to post in so many different places? I just got a Google alert from your Amplify site. Did you figure out the clone issue and you’re not telling me??

I never used to unplug. I used to have everything continuously on, and even when I was relaxing, I’d be in front of the computer screen.

Then I had my recent health issues, and part of the reason was my immune system was wiped out from not being able to rest between “work hours”. That brought home to me just how important it is to unplug.

Although I do get antsy if I haven’t blogged in a while…
