The other day I was shopping at the local grocery store after spending a number of hours writing at Starbucks. I was leaning over the dairy counter, reading off labels, with my phone to my ear, when a friend of mine, a recently retired teacher at the high school my children attended, walked by and said, “There’s a man who’s multitasking!”
I just want to set the record straight. I was not multitasking. That gives me way too much credit. I was actually being led around the grocery store by my wife, who was sitting at her desk at home, running down the list, telling me where to go in the store, and what brands to drop into my basket.
There was a time when I might have been able to multitask — but those days are gone!Â
Now, I’m just a shopbot! 😉

Did you get any steak?
My wife reliably informs me that I, a lowly male, can also multi-task. Apparently I can read a book and ignore her at the same time!
