The Blessing/Curse of The Telephone

There’s no denying the fact that I don’t answer the phone at home.  It’s kind of my new “thing.”  But there’s some logic to my actions.

A few weeks ago columnist Andy Ihnatko shared a piece of wisdom that his father shared with him:  “The phone was created for our convenience” his father said. I’ve taken that pearl of wisdom to heart.  Every time we hear the phone ring doesn’t mean we should feel compelled to answer it.  If it’s truly important the person calling will leave a voice mail or try my cell phone.

Besides, most of the time it’s for Elaine.
