I've discovered your blogs, Jeremy! Interesting stuff. Have you heard of the book "In Praise of Slow"? It's on my 'wishlist', and your post reminded me to look for it again.

My buddy Greg just recommended this book to me earlier this afternoon! Two in one day -- it must be fate.

Gotcha! No, I don't have any other kids-in-the-park Andrews. Thanks for dropping in -- please comment any time.
Thhis is a great blog
