Yes, the new phone is quite nice -- much better than the prior model that operated a little funny since its screen got bashed in.

We made the long haul back to New York yesterday. Since my childhood was devoid of long road-trips (not to mention a car), I can only wonder how this works: is it a rule that a child riding the interstate may not announce his need to urinate until that need has reached emergency proportion?

Right now I have to do some office work that I tool home with me -- I find the work goes much faster when I grease the skids with red vermouth. I'm taking business to the next level!
