In the middle of my stint on the elliptical trainer just now I found myself having to text someone on my phone, and managed to do so without stopping the machine (and not really slowing down all that much.) Having done so I felt vaguely pleased with myself, on the grounds somehow I'd developed enough skill to do the deed. And then, a minute or so later, I took in the horror of it all, of me being so locked into the technology that it had penetrated the time I spent building up a sweat. If I'd seen somebody else doing the same thing I would have raised a knowingly cynical eyebrow, or two.
Odd the way we can turn into someone we never thought we were.
