Sunday afternoon
Perfect day. 70s, breezy, and not a cloud to be seen. I finished the most pressing chores before noon. Load of laundry. Banana bread bakeage. Tomato prep and freeze. I should vacuum, but...I don't want to.
I am going to spend the afternoon outside on the deck. As long as the laptop battery lasts. Or maybe I'll dig a cord out of the garage.
It's one of those days when you just don't want to go inside.

Revenge of the Introvert
A good article about introversion and extraversion:
Although there is no precise dividing line, there are plenty of introverts around. It's just that perceptual biases lead us all to overestimate the number of extraverts among us (they are noisier and hog the spotlight). Often confused with shyness, introversion does not imply social reticence or discomfort. Rather than being averse to social engagement, introverts become overwhelmed by too much of it, which explains why the introvert is ready to leave a party after an hour and the extravert gains steam as the night goes on.
Scientists now know that, while introverts have no special advantage in intelligence, they do seem to process more information than others in any given situation. To digest it, they do best in quiet environments, interacting one on one. Further, their brains are less dependent on external stimuli and rewards to feel good.
