I Took My Watch Off

It was an uneventful moment on Sunday afternoon, but blissfully my left wrist relinquished it's role of constant time keeper for four whole days. Wow you think, big deal. But let's be honest, it's less about the watch and more about the fact that I left my blackberry plugged in and charging for the same four days. I only checked it twice and even then only responded to one email chain. In my world that's epic (my new way over used word of the moment).

The beach trip provided the opportunity to unplug, there will be more on that later, but for now as I try to grasp for the feel of the sun and the sound of the waves from my very corporate and impersonal New England hotel room-- I'm staring at my watch well aware it goes back on tomorrow. For tonight though, it's sitting next to the cell phone charger.
