Funny you should say that, Max; I've noticed that tendency in myself.
I'll plod the mile and a half to the library and back to look up something.
I'll carry books hundreds of miles either borrowing them for study or to
show someone something I think might interest them; but I'll sometimes find
it hard to leave the study to get to a book when I am keyboard mode. It's as
if the partial disembodiment of email discussion and keyboard writing has an
allure I don't want to break.
