Did you hear it? Spring has sprung.

When I was a kid my brothers and I enjoyed flying kites in the spring. Sort of the official activity to usher in warmer weather, Sometimes we had kites that Mom purchased at the store. And sometimes we made our own kites, This was back in the day when you had to put a tail on the kite so it would be easier to control in flight. Strips of cloth worked best for a tail, One long strip tied to the bottom of the kite with short strips tied  crossways to the long one. The length and weight of the cloth tail was crucial to how well a kite would fly.
  So from the bottom of my heart I say, GO FLY A KITE. It's fun, it's good exercise. And it might bring back some good memories as it does for me.

How much is too much?

I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of time spent on computers doing things unrelated to a job. Do people still work for a living?
