I'll only fly away

[fellmama]

I'm getting a cell phone. This may come as a shock to those who know me as something of a Luddite. What's shocking to me is that I'm getting a cell phone tomorrow. My father is infamous for snap decisions (he surprised my mother with a new lawnmower once), and he decided Thursday that we would all have cell phones. The research is done, the plan is purchased, and the phones will arrive inna mail tomorrow or the day after. Damn.
In other news, I'm headed to Ithaca to look for housing in a week. Fun fun. It will be nice to get a look at the campus, but I could do without the plane. I don't like to fly. Of course, driving there will be even worse . . .

Are you coming into New York City while you're out here? If you are, you should give me a call and we'll meet up. I don't know that much cool stuff to do in the area, but I do know some. And if all else fails, you're one of the people who would enjoy Strand as much as I do... *grin*

really, whatever your principles may be, there's no denying the convenience and utility of cell phones. it's getting to the point where it's a handicap in today's society to be without one.

pretty soon the only people without cell phones will be those so stubbornly clinging to some distaste/fear of the things that they resemble people who insisted on typing their papers on a type writer when computers were widely available, or people who insisted on writing checks at the supermarket when everyone else just used their debit card. and it's those hold outs who always look the most foolish and take the most flack when they eventually succumb to the inevitability of progress.

so welcome. what's your provider? your family get a plan with unlimited text messages? to me, that feature is GOLD.

Welcome to the 21nd century there Mary, we were wondering when you would catch up! Gimme your number so I can make horrendously expensive foreign collect calls to your new phone in a month. :-)

I totally understand the hating to fly. I'm definently not a fan either.
