Rambling Phone Post
by Scott Hardie on May 1, 2008

Does it make sense for me to keep my phone? Work has provided me with a cell phone. I broke my home phone last weekend, and I could buy another one at Target for ten bucks, but I wonder if I should finally kick the $45 monthly bill and stick to either the cell phone or something like Skype (for which I'd have to buy a mic). Kelly doesn't use the home phone. I don't mind confusion over the change in phone numbers, since I'm going to move in November and change it anyway. But even though I don't have many long calls, when I do have one, it's nice to hold a real phone to my head at length instead of that flimsy cell. Plus the cell doesn't work in front of the computer. Plus I forget to turn the ringer on when I'm at home, so there go emergency calls. I dunno, I guess I'm years behind most people in ditching a land line for a cell (even if the cell isn't mine), but maybe it's time now. Advice is appreciated.

Gingerbread Office

I don't often join in Kelly's craft projects, and it's even rarer for her to join in one of mine. But that's what happened last week when my company held a gingerbread house contest, and Kelly pitched in to help the team that I signed up for. We decided to make a "north pole branch" of our Sarasota office. Go »
