I agonize over it and am annoyed by the fact that I lug it around like Linus with his blanket! I need to sever the apron strings! I wish to be "out of range" much more often! I remember, making sales calls to a hilly region of Western Iowa where I got little cell coverage. I used to go out of my way to "get lost" even for just a little while. <br /><br />Great piece!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-40320325979753664212013-01-08T20:59:46.697-05:002013-01-08T20:59:46.697-05:00Agreed, Mac.

I've dunked two, in the past couple of years, and wonder if each wasn't subconsciously intentional.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well!

I measure the amount of trouble I have gotten myself into by the number of missed calls when I get back to the truck and do finally turn my phone on :)MacLooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041672038940526086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-17667041379333606612013-01-07T23:10:22.641-05:002013-01-07T23:10:22.641-05:00I suspect that you're better off for it, Howar...I suspect that you're better off for it, Howard.
