...since the invasion of the digital age...
....the notion of "spare time" seems to have evaporated faster that spilled water on Texas asphalt...

..."back in the day"- those magic moments of spare time seemed to be commonplace..
...SPARE TIME...was SPECIAL TIME... where you DID things...MEANINGFUL, PHYSICAL THINGS..

...hanging with friends- or destroying what you thought were your physical limits on the RINK, field, in the gym or on the road- or being around people that meant something to you...

...TODAY, our daily 24 has as many digital diversions perched and ready to pounce on our last few precious moments of "spare time"...

...some spend this time- flipping through channels- watching others live their lives on "reality tv"
...others are glued to facebook or twitter- trying to amass a group of "friends" they will never meet!

..."spare time" is on the endangered list in 2011...and the CHALLENGE to turn SPARE TIME INTO SPECIAL TIME is at an all time high DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY...
