Much ado about nothing...

Hi all,

It's been a year since my last blog from the African Safari.  I've decided to forego writing bloglets on Facebook and start blogging for those who want to hear more from me on our online Wandering Stevens site.

Larry might choose to add posts as well as we go along.  I've often threatened to put his journal up (see below) but he often gets too close to the root of his true feelings about things and I'd have to edit a few lines here and there to keep half my friends. Smile!

So here's my first blog of the new format.... Much ado about nothing!

Larry Stuart Stevens is suffering from PPSD.... post paper stress syndrome.  He grew up with paper.... newsPAPERS, books on PAPER, reading PAPERS.  He has overcome his PPSD to the extent that he loves to sit and write his daily journal on the computer, but he still prints out PAPER copies and puts it in folders on the shelf.  Newspapers online? Horrors!  Books on Kindle... ok, but more for travel than anything else.  He still wants his tomes to be bulky and heavy.

Larry visited the Armacost Library at the University of Redlands yesterday, after buying an alumni sweatshirt at the student store and went into shock.  There were no books in sight! Just computer stations.  Of course there are books upstairs I'm sure, but he couldn't get past the entry... it was too tragic to see the stations and no books.  Poor guy, a refugee from the paper age lost in a sea of online media.
