Busy doing nothing

Mike Urlocker contacted me yesterday, while I was at the cottage, reading the paper, listening to the waves lapping up on the shore.

Mike was asking my views on whether 7×24 availability via Blackberry, cel, etc. makes for more or less family time.

I’ll reserve my answer until Mike publishes his piece on the subject. But I note that I was reading a piece by Jim Bawden in the Star Week magazine section on the BBC documentary about Queen and her portrait by Rolf Harris.

HRH has sat for 139 portraits. She says that she likes sitting for them because “People can’t get at us. We’re busy doing nothing.”

I like that: Busy doing nothing.

Anyone want to paint me this summer?
