I honestly don't know how I did it. Could you imagine making plans at like 3pm and meeting someone at the theatre at 8pm and not talking in between. They'd just be expected to show up at the right time and place. Now my plans aren't concrete until I'm actually on my way, and even then it is debatable.

I still don't have a cellphone. I've owned one just to give to my kids so they could use it to phone me in an emergency but otherwise never wanted one. Really because of one trip to the golf course years ago. When the cellphone was this huge clunker a buddy of mine was actually answering the thing during a round of golf. To this day I can't think of a reason other than an emergency why I would ever want to answer a phone while golfing. Or for anything else for that matter. I very much like that people can't get ahold of me. I don't want them to and that didn't start when I was older. I'll meet you at the course at 10am. Hey if they show they show and if not I play anyways. Ditto the movies, restaurants or anything else. I don't need or want any set plans nor do I need to know they have just rolled up in the parking lot. I'd rather just wing it and go with the flow. To me they are like an annoyance hung around your neck and a security blanket.
Email I've found to be a fabulous new technology but the cellphone--nope. I'll bet 90% of the non-work conversations are meaningless blather. NO thanks but I don't need to get a call as I'm staring at a ten footer for birdie to remind me to pick up milk on the way home, or to remind me I'd suppose to drive them to their friends later, or any other hogwash. Spare me!!!!!!!!!!!
