Loneliness

Rotis­serie does not, to my sur­prise, refer pri­mar­i­ly to a way of cook­ing meat. The stuff I sub­scribe to for home­school­ing kids fre­quent­ly teach­es me new things, too 🙂

The prin­ci­pal con­trib­u­tor to lone­li­ness in this coun­try is tele­vi­sion. What hap­pens is that the fam­i­ly ‘gets togeth­er’ alone.
–Ash­ley Mon­tagu, anthro­pol­o­gist and writer (1905–1999)

How very true! I’d add com­put­er screens today. BTW—I’m only using the PC while Sam is on the phone with his kids. We’re going back to no PC use dur­ing the evenings 🙂
