I feel ALL of this. Every day seems to begin with the urge to walk away from all social media, and by noon I've just accepted I really like crack - er, social media - and by dinner I've recalled how maybe I need to stop already. I'm disciplined about how I interact with it...mostly...but it takes a toll. Good for you, going for it.

Great piece, Mickey. Your presence will certainly be missed on the Twitters. I honestly don't know why I'm still there. It's not even really routine at this point, since I've cut down using it so much I've never even gotten a tweet-limit thing since those have been put in place. Who knows. Been contemplating starting something like this weekly newsletter thing as well. Might be part travelogue, getting memories and stories from my three years of ballpark trips on digital paper. Not sure yet. Also been contemplating revisiting my own abandoned novel... though I have to figure out how to actually write a novel first... I have a prologue and two chapters and it's over 28K words... so so talky. Hope you're doing well. If you ever head to Netflix to picket, I'm usually there late Friday mornings. Cheers!
