Maybe not an addiction but a source of great pleasure

we're still talking the Japanese on line comics Manga here. It was suggested to me that this is a return to an earlier stage of development and that the fantasy part of Manga may be ok. Providing it doesn't become wildly kinky. So maybe my objectiton is the amounttime spent on the Internet. Unlike my growing up where the most prized possession you could have was a phone in your room, not an extension but your own phone and separate tel #, for these kids it's all about the internet. In fact last night Kate turned on the ping to alert her when she got a message on facebook from the kool boy in her class. Yikes. Maybe we are there.

Anyway the good news for me is that there was no 6:30 am request to go on line and read more Manga. But then maybe it's because I staggered out of bed at 6:30 in the spirit of Christmas Past annoucning that I would not be up until 7:00 am. Then staggered back to bed before I walked Miss Murray on what I would call a Chicago kind of day. You know cold where the eyepiece on your glasses gets cold and your skin crinkles....In the spirit of Oscar Wilde, the rumors of spring are way overrated.

However this weekend Kate and I are going to sort through our spring/summer clothes in preparation for some time in Key West. Did we say that we were excited. Not an addiction but a source of great pleasure.
