Sometimes I reminisce about how things were before the internet and cell phones and I shudder. How in the world did we pass the time of day while at work? How did anyone find anyone after work? How were outings planned? What did you do if someone was late, or couldn't make it at the last minute?

Anyway, I seem to have lost my cell phone, so I got to relive the horror today. 3 1/2 hours in a car, and I couldn't call anyone. Passed through another far-away town during lunch, and couldn't call any of my friends I know would have been free to eat together. Went shopping and had to guess at the sizes I was supposed to buy for Carly. I want my phone back.

In other news, for those who care, the Gap outlet stores are having a really good sale right now.
