Making decisions about how to use our limited time and energy often means choosing among those projects that feel most urgent, finishing long-postponed tasks or planning for future success; planning almost always gets put aside.

The major ice storm that hit New England last week brought a large oak-tree limb down on our roof. We were lucky that the heavy butt end trailed as it fell over 20 feet, but the dozens of smaller branches, which led the way down and cushioned the blow to the roof over our bedroom, punctured the rubber membrane in over 35 places; rain poured in and we scrambled to get buckets into the attic to stem the flow and minimize the damage.

My wife got a new mini-computer today. As I am the less technology challenged I went about getting it ready for her to use. An hour later I realized I had gotten lost in the new toy.
