Now that the weather is tolerable, I'll be spending less time online and more time interacting with my real life environment in real time.

"... and more time interacting with my real life environment in real time." a lot more time or a little?

For now a little, but I anticipate getting out more this summer. I let my games finish without starting any new ones... been feeling stale and disinterested in playing chess, but the interest always comes back before too long.

Online talking and playing is a life saver during the winter months. Not much to do, and there's not much happening on radio or tv to hold my interest for very long. And there's not much point in watching the same DVDs over and over again... because I already know how the story ends.

Right now I'm just killing a few minutes before going off to play with grandkids and have dinner at one daughters home... sometimes with tongue in cheek I'll talk about starting another family, but after an hour with the grandkids I know I wouldn't have the energy to do it all again.
