Catch-22
Today I forgot my cell phone.
+1, no electronic leash to hold me down.
-1, no electronic leash to keep me in the loop or hear from the boy when he gets home from school.
+1, you can survive without a cell phone, like we did ten years ago. Maybe fifteen.
-1, you become really neurotic being out of the loop.
Damn you, instant gratification! I don't even have a beeper for backup!
I gotta go home soon. There could be a roving gang of rabid circus monkeys destroying my house and I'd be oblivious. Who's gonna tell the kid to grab the video camera?
Ain't nothin' to a G.
