Hi, Ruben (from Bill AND Nancy),
Ah, those last few minutes of uninterrupted time! Seems to me all of our gadgets make us even more isolated in crowds, but less aware of it, like a wired-up frog in an electronic kettle. Are we also facing the death of the spontaneous conversation with a stranger on the plane or train which changes our lives in some wonderful forever way? Just wondering . . .
Blessings!
