the sound of silence

It was so delightful to have lattes last week with Ginger here at Borderlands
Books and Cafe on Valencia Street. I'd like to see more signs like this in
coffee shops, restaurants, stores, buses, airports, etc. Wouldn't you?

i am a geek (not)

For the first time, I'm actually considering an e-book. Me. The
great book and book-only woman ex-bookseller. It seems
ideal for travel and to/fro work and I know that the Duck
Plotnik loves hers and I am seeing them more and more,
especially on BART. I still don't like deep-reading on the
computer, so I will need to think of my e-book as a book,
not a computer. But I won't rush into this decision...

Then in January I will finally get an iPhone when Steve lets
Verizon be one of the carriers. That should offer a few
challenges and frustrations.

a little reminder

When I Googled this book (Abide with Me) that I am about to
read, I was amazed at the amount of Christianity that permeates
the internet. Nonbelievers who live in San Francisco tend to
forget how the rest of the USA operates. Lordy. You will
remember that the ultra-talented Elizabeth Strout also wrote
Olive Kitteridge.

Cell phone update. Husbando called the number yesterday
and reported that it sounded "all official and governmenty",
so perhaps this is NOT yet another suburban hoax?

leave us alone

(Thanks to Ginger in Pleasanton for this PSA.)

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next month.
REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

.... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:

888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS... It takes about 20 seconds.
