A Wall?

Has this new blogger hit a blogging wall? Is there such a thing as a blogging wall? And if so, is it what I think is happening here? Are you wondering where I've been, and why I haven't posted anything recently? I know what's wrong, and it has nothing to do with a wall.

You see, there's this little problem I have. It's something that I think will be the next big social/psychological problem/addiction. I haven't named it yet, but it has to do with people not interacting with other people because they are engaged/engrossed in playing with their iPads. I could go on about the symptoms, but let me give you an example. I saw this happen a couple of weeks ago. Four people sitting on a couch, each has an iPad, and no one is talking (except to ask another "user" how to do something on said device). I was one of the four and was having an enjoyable time. It was sad really, but oh so fun!

What should we call this social/psychological problem/addiction?

I'm 50 today, yes 50! I admit it. To celebrate five decades or a half a century, here are 50 things about me. These are in no particular order.

1. I like chocolate.
2. Fall is my favorite season of the year.

4. It irritates me when people don't put their shopping carts in the cart return when they are done using them.
5. I like to go out to lunch with friends.
6. I'd like to try a short haircut, but I'm only brave enough to cut it to just above my shoulders. Maybe this is my year to go short. Probably not....
7. I enjoy traveling but don't like to be in the car.
8. German Chocolate Cake is my favorite cake - made from scratch, not the kind from a box or the store bakery. I won't eat one made from a box or the store bakery.
9. Gerber Daisies and Sunflowers are my favorite flowers.
