We have turned off or cellphones and have no computer access during the day. We need to do this more often. It is amazingly refreshing. All we do is sit in done meetings, eat good food, talk with old friends and make new ones, all with no outside interruption. It is very interesting that it seems I am moving a little off the very edge of the extrovert spectrum. That is no to say I am anywhere close to being am introvert–but maybe just a little bit less of on extrovert.

I highly recommend this approach.
It worked well for us! We met some of your friends from Illinois–great folks.
