Then the question came up about how much time I must spend online. And Pat said "Too much!"
What is a good way to spend time? I have thought of some of the ways people do it, and among these are ways I couldn't possibly tolerate. I know for example, there are people among our readership who work very long days. Others spend a lot of time reading "gossip" or entertainment magazines. I know there are folks who spend hours with a sudoku game book. Some pass time every day (or very often) on the golf course. I know one guy who flies all over the hemisphere to golf at various places; when the weather is bad here, it is quite nice somewhere else. I suppose we justify those things we favor and turn our noses up at those things we don't. It's like work. How often have I heard someone say: "I could never do what you do." Once, I was told, "If I had to walk into a classroom every day, I'd have to kill someone."
Do you feel badly about the time you 'waste'? Does anyone out there have a standard for measuring "time well spent" or "time wasted?"

A little research shows that there IS no Red Eye Coffee Shop. so, you really have been wasting your time.
If there weren't a multitude of answers, everyone would do the same thing.

I really like that answer, Felix.

I don't consider sitting at a computer to be a waste of time, but I do know that I often intend to check email or your blog for 5 minutes and get sucked into several hours of web surfing. That part bothers me.
