Good luck this school year to Lovely Daughter. Let me know when you plan a Denver trip so we can do some CF bonding. Your surgery patients appreciate your devotion to duty.

Cut off from her cell phone at the Dude Ranch she realized that there was NO DRAMA in her life without the textx/FB/Twitter, etc. We are trying to extend that lesson to the coming school year. Leave your phone off or in your room or just don't look unless it's a real urgency. We'll see--they're addictive little things. No golf until I can take 8-10 weeks for rehab from surgery = no golf ;=( Buck, Lovely Daughter just learned this lesson.

My PDA is a pocket calendar with a pen. I often leave my cell phone at home which leaves my associates (mostly younger pilots) incredulous that I could do such a thing. BTW, read your post today and I find myself in the same plateau boat you mentioned. I am just starting a MedX regimen to strengthen my lower back, which is certainly a limiting factor in almost every aspect of my CF efforts, but most certainly in DL/BS/FS/oly lifts. Good luck with CFSB II. Any change of heart vis a vis golf? Bingo

The irony does not escape me! The difference, I think, is that I don't answer my cell phone when in the midst of a conversation. I turn it off if I have meeting or my own doctor's appointment. I neither Tweet nor Facebook from a phone on the hoof, out in the world. Badger? I dunno. If a child is a guest of one of my kids for dinner and he takes out his phone to respond to a text in between mouthfuls and I call him on it, is that badgering? If so, guilty as charged ;=) I write in my blog as a creative outlet when I am alone, when I do not have family, professional, or social obligations. In the end it's healthier than drinking alone, eh? Thanks for your thoughts Bill. The irony does not escape me!

The difference, though, is that I don't answer my cell phone when in conversation with someone right in front of me. I turn it off when I am in a meeting or if I have my own doctor's appointment.

When a child is visiting our house as a guest of one or my kids, and he pulls out his cell phone to respond to a text between mouthfuls, and I call him on it, is that badgering?

I do not agree with badgering and fun making directed at people with whom you interact with. You never know what is occurring 'in their shoes' at the time of a phone call or text. But that's just me. My favorite part of this blog is the irony that someone who keeps a blog AND a Twitter account is commenting and ridiculing those very means of communication. Now that's rich.

But it's America, land of excess, land of "take it to the next level", land of "I want more." It's frustrating indeed. Saw a woman at the bank teller window, on the phone and also instructing the teller what to do. She was probably in her 50's or 60's..old enough to know better. GET OFF THE PHONE. I try to do my best, and use the phone was needed. I don't call people that much, I text a bit, but I do really use it to check twitter, and check some other sites to see "what's going on." A lot of what I do involves social media, it's interesting to see how people communicate, and what tools they use, and the differences between generations (my earlier example aside). Anyway, I do agree, and I think more people need to step back, reduce and simplify. If people just used the tools for their intended purposes, it might be different.
