Just want to let everyone know that if you dont see me online for the next month I will be on vacation. We are going back to the states for the month of august, our first time back in two years. I fully intend to not get on the internet, check email, or even look at the news during that time. I will instead enjoy myself and probably spend lots of money doing my part to stimulate the economy by buying things we just cannot get Germany like Chili-Cheese Fritos.
Have fun while you're here in the U.S. I do not consider myself to be one of those people who needs to be online non-stop (I don't have an i-phone or blackberry) but when I made my recent move across country and didn't make it online for a few days, I started getting concerned. Not because I needed to check Drudge, but to check for important emails from people at the university…and also to check my fantasy baseball lineup to make sure it was set (ok, so the latter reason is lame I admit ;D ). But it's probably healthy to do what you're doing and to withdraw completely for a good amount of time. You'll have to tell us the other foods you eat while in America. Funny how people (myself included) get cravings for certain foods when they're deprived of them…
Got back yesterday and while vacation was a blast, in some ways it is nice to be back at home and sleeping in my own bed again. The worst part is that I have to go to work today. I will be trying to catch up on the posts while I was gone this week so expect some old threads to be resurrected.
