Do I miss it?

There are pros and cons to not having internet at home.

Pros:

• Laundry gets done.
• More time for non-internet reading.
• TV watching is purer (I actually pay attention).
• Better chance of going to sleep at a reasonable hour.
• Good excuse to spend lots of time at coffee shops on the weekend.
• Spending time away from home on the weekend leads to less guilt about not cleaning the house.

Cons:

• Computer solitaire playing increases.
• Blog posting must be done at work (oh, wait, that happens already).
• Solicitation type phone calls increase exponentially (the phone is not busy now).
• Lack of constant email contact.
• No IMing during the week.
• Movie time checking is impossible
• TV schedule checking is impossible
• Can't check blog stats or comments on the hour.

Long story short, I signed up for the $15/month DSL. It won't start until next week, so I'm out of internet until December 1. I think I'll survive.

Grateful for: downtime.
