I never wear a watch.

But I confess to asking people the time, if only to gauge progress on a long travel day.

Nevertheless, to me the true measure of whether I've let myself get immersed in the wilderness on vacation, db, is not whether I monitor a societal yoke like "time," but how many days it takes for me to think about work and the problems I'll be returning to.

Smashdancer and I used to work together in a pretty stressful environment, and one trip we went six days before talking around a fire about any work issues.

That was a good trip.
