i had a nice chat

with a customer today. i always approach people even if they're not seriously looking at recliners. so, a man plopped down in the Hamilton glider/recliner and i said "you look good in that". he smiled and said he was waiting on the wife. this has not changed since before my family would go to the mall and poor dad would find a bench and say "meet you in 2 hours". well, this was before cell phones, so dad doesn't have to wait so long, since 2 hours often stretched out to 3+ hours. even worse was, sometimes dad got itchy feet and when it came time to meet, the parties often missed. this made the whole trip excruciating. omg, i just wanted to go hoooome.
nowadays, the cell phone is an electronic leash that calls papa home. and, so, the cell phone interrupted a very fertile conversation between one vagabond from CA and a NY Nice Guy.

Good morning Free.

Our life is definitely changing because of these gadgets. wave
no tech, in person, chatting. side by side in a row of recliners
I ve learned a whole new world of stuff on the net, with a tiny, little bit of astrophysics from tv laugh

Cell phones I never use except for super urgent stuff. Can be life saving.
