ONE
I will have a cup of coffee in the morning
and read my newspaper like I used to,
before the Web.

TWO
I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork
and not with one hand typing.

THREE
I will get dressed before noon.

FOUR
I will make an attempt to:
clean the house, wash clothes, AND
plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

FIVE
I will sit down and write a letter
to those unfortunate few friends and family
that are Web-deprived.

SIX
I will call someone on the phone
who I cannot contact via the Web.

SEVEN
I will read a book...if I still remember how.

EIGHT
I will listen to those around me and their needs
and stop telling them to turn the TV down
so I can hear the music on the Web.

NINE
I will not be tempted during TV commercials
to check for email.

TEN
I will try and get out of the house
at least once a week,
if it is necessary or not.

ELEVEN
I will remember that my bank
is not forgiving if I forget
to balance my checkbook
because I was too busy on the Web.

TWELVE
Last, but not least,
I will remember
that I must go to bed sometime...
and the Web will always be there tomorrow!
(I HOPE!!!)
