A few months ago, when I would send an e-mail to the congregation, I would get scores of bounce-backs \\u2013 out-of-office replies like, \\u201cThank you for your e-mail, I\\u2019m travelling for business and will get back to you as soon as I can.\\u201d  Or, \\u201cI\\u2019m on vacation.  I\\u2019ll be offline with limited access to e-mail.  If you need something, call someone else.\\u201d

\\n

I sent an e-mail last week and received exactly one bounce-back.  What does it mean for our days (and nights) that while most of us are home, almost none of us are \\u201cout of office?\\u201d  What is the impact of waking up every day in the same place with the same limited range of options before us, plugged in 24/7 on the same screens, and no clear end in sight?
