Tough question, GBS. You've got me wondering if there might be a tertium quid dynamic here.
You know, not a choice between two exclusive alternatives but a third way. Let's ponder it. Ok?

Yes, I too recognize value and benefit of simpler times. No, there isn't any need to become a hermit living alone next to some pond. Life can be simplified each day by employing the magic word saying
No
... to any and all distractions, extravagant use of scarce resources, wrong priorities and temptations to kill time (one of the worst phrases in the English language).
Believe time is one of the key differences between then and now. The other is eliminating the clutter of detail. With disciplined effort time saved should eventually harness the runaway tempo of 2011 and pattern a less frenetic lifestyle.
Will begin with the upcoming 'Daylight Savings Time'. Rather than use it immediately, I plan to save the golden hour gained.

No not even me"- can't remember who said it but I like it.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesHenry David and Ralph Waldo held their breath and waited a long while to join but RHP came along a little too late. Once HDT visited to RWE in jail for some minor act of civil disobedience and said, "Ralph what are you doing in there?" To which RWE replied, "What are you doing out there?" If Russ & Chris were born a few years earlier, which 2011 RHP Members would they have been? They refers to Henry (nick Pond Jockey... PJ... for short), Ralph (Shot Heard Around the World... SHAW for short, the Terms of Service offense, the unseen moderators, the sitting judge, the jury, the jailer, Red Night, regular posters of record and the Friends?
An enjoyable read, from years ago.
