How about just writing a "quickie one liner or one paragraph," a 
mid-western e-colleague suggested.  "I'm too busy and don't have the time to 
read more than that."
        
        "It's not always smart to surrender to the telegram mentality of the 
smart phone, tablet, or computer screen," I replied.  "But, I understand--more 
than you know.  Besides, I have more than a few 'one-liners' up my sleeve.  
Yeah, I can occasionally send out a few of those." 
        
        So, here's my first quickie "one paragraph":  too busy; don't have the 
time?  "No time to say, 'hello,' goodbye?"  "I'm too busy," or "I don't have 
the time," however, isn't enough of an excuse, explanation, or rationale for an 
inability--or refusal--to see, hear, much less care about, someone, or to care 
to do something.  Termites are always busy.  Ants are always busy.  Bees are 
always busy.  Busy is not the issue.  The real issues are:  what are your 
priorities; for what or whom don't you have the time; for what do you have all 
the time; at whose expense, are you too busy; about what and whom are you never 
too busy and always have the time to be enthusiastic; where do you want to put 
your time and effort where "too busy" and "don't have the time" are banished; 
for what and for whom are you never too busy to whip your rump with a speeding 
up "giddyap," but not for a pul

Make it a good day
