If you read Julia's Sunday blog post, you know we both sneaked off to spend part of the weekend at Schaumburg for the Author Fest. I really appreciate your comments!

Very good. It amazes me that anyone other than the distributor(s) make any $ selling books! But I was going to comment on cell phones. I'd call 'em a necessary evil these days!

I'll admit, there are times when I'm running late or lost that being able to call for help might be nice, but how often does that happen? Once a year? One of my pet peeves is trying to enjoy a nice meal and sitting at a table beside a man (because it usually is) who is talking business to someone in China (must beJeanne Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563658580751584222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-71917053408217683672007-06-22T16:15:00.000-04:002007-06-22T16:15:00.000-04:00The most curious sighting for me was two men eatin...The most curious sighting for me was two men eating in a restaurant, both on their cell phones. Were they so in love with their new phones that they were talking to each other on them? Or we they really taking to other people. If they were talking with other people, why were they having dinner together? Makes no sense, does it?

They're good to have along in case you have an accident or need help for some other reason -- and I'm sure lives have been saved because motorists were able to call for help quickly when they witnessed an accident -- but I can't see Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-50025778496476526732007-06-22T10:52:00.000-04:002007-06-22T10:52:00.000-04:00I don't have a cell phone, and I do find it irrita...I don't have a cell phone, and I do find it irritating that so many people walk the streets with them pasted on their heads. What happened to the notion of thinking while walking? Reflecting while alone in the car?
