First of all, a question for Mel.... I live in the burbs in Atlanta. What the heck is Access a Ride? We have a cultural gap here.

Mrs. D, I know what you mean about people being so plugged in these days. I just spent a week in Virginia on my favorite niece's farm. She has two kids ages 5 and 7 that I was babysitting. She is so wonderful -- she is raising her kids with no tv, no computer games or video games. They get no cell phone reception. It was heaven. Played board games with the kids, read a lot. Of course, she also has no air-conditioning....but it is amazing how quickly you learn to cope with even that!
