I'd sit at my kitchen table and start scanning help-wanted ads on my laptop, but then a browser tab would blink and I'd get distracted and follow a link to a long magazine article about genetically modified wine grapes.

I'd add the review to my reading list, too, then download the first chapter of the book - third in a series about vampire police.

It's just a tiny little different motion, a little hesitancy, a little tremble from time to time." Off — John McPhee
