The more I realize
how little I know
from Kauai to Paris ... and all places between
Aloha et Au revoir,

It has been some time since I felt like sitting here to purge, release, and evacuate this ever active cranial cavity. Our New Tech World, satiated with an overabundance of information, seems to have created a new span of attention .. short. With this newly acquired feature/enhancement, developed in our minds as a direct response to the technological age, and assisting even the staunchest "plodders" to actually retain much of the "techfo" that constantly swirls about us as progress "happens" .. I am happy to report I have had a revelation. Out of all the processing and progressing of the last few years .. the stimulation of my synapse junctions and the syncopation of my gray matter with overwhelming amounts of "stuff" I never expected to know .. I now share with you my greatest discovery. The more I learn & absorb from our New Tech World The more I realize how little I know This bit of information is the most precious I have ever embraced. Having shared this with you, I'm gonna kiss my computer and go to bed ... secure and at peace with the knowledge I will never know much ... and smiling, because my computer will never feel ...... anything. Remember Humanity
from Kauai to Paris ... and all places between Aloha et Au revoir, Bill

Just yesterday I was thinking about you and wondering how you are since I haven't seen "Kauai to Paris" for weeks! At the moment, you must be visiting with family and friends in Colorado. Have a great visit and try not to be too concerned about all of the knowledge "out there"; it's hopeless to even know a tiny bit of it. Good to read your blog again. Amitiés, Cynthia

Thank you, Pat ... and I write these words with heartfelt emotion ... reiterating that it comes from a place of the heart, not possible in "techfo" space

What you say is so true. I get so frustrated every day when I either cannot remember how to do something that was so easy yesterday or I find some simple thing impossible to do right. Technology makes me want to go live in a unibomber cabin on Middle Fork.

Oops, that was your Dad's comment. But really, there is the yang to the yin, a little bit of who-knows-what in us all.

Hi Bill, Happy to have you back blogging! I am glad the computer can't "feel" anything because I don't ever want to not look at someone in their eyes and feel all their feelings and see their beautiful smile. What a sad world that would be.

Bill, I'm so glad to find that you are up and running again. This post is very true about many other subjects. We will never run out of something new to learn, and amazingly our brains are created to store more and more, unlike my computer and its feeble storage area which I keep exceeding. I hope you have a beautiful day and learn something new.

Aloha/Bonjour Debbie .. how nice to hear from you! Always great to get your comments. Thank you for the comment! As you've noted, I've been on "hiatus" for some time with pressing projects and a delightful young intern from France who is living in our home for two months. I will be back in the writing "saddle" mid-August .. really looking forward to that time. In the meantime .. Mahalo et Merci for your support and kind words!! Bill
