Balance?

My daughter, Morgan (age 10), while watching me on email tonight composed a brief vignette that seemed appropriate to share here: “Dad types quickly and works hard. His natural habitat is in an office or anywhere with a computer. Nothing distracts him. He seems to be focused yet confused. His hands move easily over the keyboard. He is always thinking. Dad is not tense or stressed. He rarely moves from his working spot, not even for his female mate or family. He has memorized where the keys are on the keyboard. He rarely speaks when absorbed by work."

"And that’s all I have so far,” she says.

Ugh. Time to put down the computer and go pay attention to my mate and family!
