My absence can be either explained or blamed on the Pokemon Go phenomena that has gripped our nation.
In a day of contentious political attacks by the Republican party because they have absolutely nothing else to offer, the escape from daily reality has been both social and exercise driven and I commend the makers of Pokemon Go for this.
The media will try to dissuade it's success and popularity. They will highlight one or two instances where someone was robbed playing or even worse. They feel it's their job to attack anything successful, trying to be the first to take it down.
Hillary Clinton has become Pokemon Go. Millions like her but the media hyperbolizes anything that can be redrawn to appear negative.
The developers have managed to make something within the realm of "social" media actually social. I've met probably 20 people I would have never had conversations with as a result of this game.
And I've walked more than I have in years, outside of my usual walking.
So my hat is off, Nintendo, for creating something that is truly the beginning of a new technological and social, as well as, health revolution.
