If your phone ain’t ringing, it’s me.

Sounds like a country song, eh?

I’m not very good at keeping in touch. We pay a fortune for telephone, cell phone, long distance, internet. I’m certainly not limited by the media available. My wife is calls friends and family just about every night. She’s as comfortable calling up an old colleague out of the blue as I am picking up the remote control. (Conversely though, I’m as inclined to pick up the phone that she is to figure out how to turn on the TV.)

It’s not thoughtlessness. I just don’t think of it. icon_wink

So, if you wanna keep in touch, call me, leave me a message, respond to this post. I’d love to hear from you, all of you.  Honest.  Just don’t sit by the phone. I might not call.

    I send updates every now and then to Steve, y’know asking how things are in life, letting him know how much I miss the projects we worked on together etc…. and he is right, he ain’t so good at keeping in touch!! ;-)

    Oh and Steve, I like winter, it is the best skydiving season… in Florida…

    Hmph! The abuse I have to take. I guess that’s the price one must pay for extending one’s self to public observation and scrutiny… Like my post says, Troy, don’t construe my negligence as indifference.

    Take ‘er easy, bud. I look forward to your next email. I might actually respond now that you’ve publicly scolded me! icon_smile

    It’s always fun to peruse the mad ramblings of a clinically insane manager and Newfoundlander icon_smile

    And skydiving! Wh would ever want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

    …and Dave, you’d recognize clinically insane, eh? icon_wink

    The skydiving thing… I jumped once, actually twice in one day. It was quite a thrill. You should try it!

    Skydiving was AWESOME! I was right there with ya buddy. Scared shitless on the way up, and absolutely exhilerated on the way down. It was an awesome experience. Everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime, if not twice!

    Hey Mr. H! I guess you saw my post on Flo’s site. Good to hear from you, drop by anytime!

    … and, skydiving was a hoot! Scary on the way up in the plane, petrifying until the chute opens, and super fun floating to the ground! Amazing.

    Dat I did! Man, I can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since we worked together back there in Freddyville. Where does the time go at all? How are things? Nice blog btw. Still the same ‘ol humerous Steve I see!
