On Arriving Home
We just got home tonight around 11pm after what has basically been 4 weeks on the road. I noticed our house smells funny (note to self: buy candles). I pretty much have the same ritual every time I come home: I open all the mail and sort into three piles: recycling, shredding, action. First two are obvious, the last one is for tomorrow when I have more energy - I’ll either file it (in the case of statements) or do whatever action is required (pay bill, call company, respond to mail) and then file or trash. I bring in the luggage and groceries (hmmm late night grocery shopping - what fun) but the luggage won’t get touched until tomorrow. Then I check any urgent emails, check my RSS feed and then bed.
I won’t be online tomorrow at all as I don’t want to see any accidental emails, any web pages, any stray RSS feeds or tweets regarding Apple’s WWDC. There will only be one webpage I visit tomorrow around 6pm - this one. This let’s me know there is a video up from Steve Jobs keynote presentation and then AJ and I will watch it together and experience first hand the unveiling of new Apple products. Woo hoo! Much discipline is required.
