She liked to sit and watch me work, but by &quot;work&quot; she meant housework. Vacuuming, washing dishes—she was happy. But the moment I sat down to desk work—I was still consulting in those days—she'd start to fuss. I remember trying to explain to her that work with pencil and paper was still work, but she insisted that I had to be moving.</p> <p>These days, those who work with computers often set alarms to remind themselves to get up and move periodically; I guess she was just ahead of her time.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1178/41792023-02-21T07:41:05ZJanet<p>Yes, I remember that. I like to joke about your early adoption and long cling time. That digital camera to floppy disk was so embarrassing. . . I also joke about being in the first generation of kids to know the frustration of their parents being addicted to screens. It's so easy to not notice how much time and money it's taking from us. Our kids don't know we're thinking about them when we're on them. I wish I'd blogged less and hugged and hung out more.</p>
