Out of touch
The minuses of a "violent" travel schedule are now becoming
apparent.
I haven't contacted most of my friends since I came back two weeks ago.
Why? I need the time to catch up - magazines to read, bills to pay, things
to do.
Suddenly I feel out of touch. I'm not in the loop. Where is the group
I belong to?
B & N have moved to Switzerland. So my connection with their friends
in London is broken.
Since I haven't been in the office, I didn't even know one of my colleagues
was getting married. So many new faces. Have things changed that much
since I've been away?
That my cat has found a new home doesn't bother me anymore. At least
he knows to come back once a day to eat. I attribute his new behaviour
to his three year birthday in May.
My mind is still in another world. I'm still trying to download from
my cumulative travels.
At least, there is no discontinuity or dissonance in cyberspace. Everything
is still the same. These days I could send photos, videos, text, and even
"talk" online. So the continuity is there. My network is in
cyberspace.
Offline is another matter.

I found out one of my contacts was coming to London recently. I asked why he didn't let me know about this sooner.
He replied, "..not sure about your violent travel schedule..."
