I’d like to do this, too (even though I’m already kind of shaking. Is that my left eye twitching now?)

Thanks for inspiring me as always, Frank. Happy new year to you and your beautiful family.

Thanks, Lola and Chris. That’s exactly the idea: Better thinking, better writing and hopefully better living.

i share your concern, for your mind, for my mind, for the collective mind. The loss of the ability to focus deeply poses a threat to each individual and to human beings as a species. To allow one’s mind to be constantly interrupted and invaded is to lose the ability to think coherently, to string together larger thoughts.

On a more trivial note, it seems that the most precious commodity of the writer is that ability to pay careful attention, in observation and then again in the recording and consideration of those observations. So internet-free Mondays may contribute to a more lucrative 2010.

Good for you! With the likes of Twitter, Facebook, and all other energy and time-sucking cesspools, it’s no wonder we’ve all become more anxious. Like we have to be doing something every second to stay “relevant”.

Happy Holidays and here’s to a fantastic 2010!
