Good response Alex. I value my time more now than I do serendipity. i
want my spontaneity in areas I know that will interest me, rather than
mounds of boring crap to wade through to get a few gems. I still make
choices, and have freedom of choice, I just have some of the choice
preplanned so as to maximize efficiency.
