Just one more phone call.
A friend of mine just shared this story with me. I know how I feel about it, but let’s see how you react. Picture this, you’re on vacation in Breckenridge with your family. You are out fishing with your daughter, who is seven. It’s a beautiful lake, with glorious mountains surrounding it, a view that needs to be captured on film. There you are, standing on this rock just big enough for both of you to fit. She is holding onto your leg, because she is still afraid of falling in, even though daddy’s there to catch her. Or is he? Your daughter has total faith in you to protect her, and yet your attention is somewhere else. A perfect bonding moment for father and daughter, is lost in this sick cell phone addiction. As he is fishing, trying to reel in a nice size salmon, he has a cell phone propped up to his ear with his shoulder. Could you imagine if he had dropped the phone? I think the order would be phone, fish then daughter. Let’s get real people, is that phone call really that important. If it is, maybe you shouldn’t have had kids to begin with.

This is a bit harsh, isn’t it. How did the father pay for the trip to Breckenridge? Working, that’s how!
Perhaps he had an important business call, and he couldn;t miss it.
Vacations are great, but nowadays work never seems to stop if you want to get ahead. The only place you can go on vacation without the cell phone is somewhere where ATT and Verizon don’t go yet.
Hey, look … those 2 comm. giants don’t reach Patten, ME … maybe I’ll go there, to get away from all the BS of everyday.
