I took left Venice on Saturday to get away from distractions. I am not talking about seclusion from EVERYTHING. Not total isolation. Well, sort of I was lucky enough to have a good pal who had just purchased a cabin up in Big Bear, CA. He was kind enough to let me use it for a few days to get some "real" work done. He didn't have Internet. It's amazing what that will do for you. No Facebook, no fantasy sports, no basic daily distractions. I had my phone, of course, with Internet, but with a single bar of service you give up in a few minutes. I was left with text messages and minimal phone calls. That's seclusion for me.
