The Blessing/Curse of The Telephone

Posted on Aug 17, 2008 by Jason in Rants | 1 Comment

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.

    Hey Jason and Elaine! I don’t normally blog hop, but tonight I did and found your blog and website. I got teary when I saw your adorable little family! Are they twins?! So many fond memories came flooding to me from our freshman year as I looked at your pictures. Do you guys live in Alameda? I live in Walnut Creek. I don’t even know if you will read this, but we should definitely get together!

    P.S. I saw Ross and his wife win the million dollars on Deal or No Deal the other night. Do you keep in touch with him?
