Not to take sides, Dogfather, but what would have been your reaction if your wife had vanished into some online thing for 60 hours straight?

I get how addictive things are. I can still go there if I’m not careful. But after one divorce, I’ve come to appreciate what allowing myself to get too hooked on something is costing me in other areas of life.

In making this website we worked seven days a week for almost a year. My kids are a year older and we did very little together.

I’m learning, or training myself, to stop and come up for air and connect with the world. It’s hard, believe me, but I only have to look back at my life to get what it’s cost me in terms of friendships, affinity with my family, and balance in my health.

Food for thought.
