Blackberry Slopes

I am writing this post from Gstaad Switerzland. No, I don’t lead a jet set life, I am very fortunate that through my wife, Adele’s, hard work last year she earned the trip with her company.

They told us we would have limited access to email, but as well all know technology and the internet has created a wired life that is hard to get a way from. Limited meant I have to walk down to the business center to check my emails, so it all depends how much many times I want to make the trek. Other people we are traveling with are checking palm pilots, treos, and cell phone messages. During breakfast this morning a cell phone rang and was answered in French, so it wasn’t one of ours. It makes me wonder when and where we really get to spend down time any more. As I’m writing this post I imagine these people swishing down the slopes holding their ski pole in one hand and thumbing their blackberry in the other. Oppps watch out for that tree….

The February issue of canvas is on press and we’re excited to keep moving forward. I’ve gotten through my emails, checked daily life in the U.S. through the web and it’s time for me to unwire myself for a little while.
