So I am totally stealing this picture from Laura’s blog, but it had to be done:
She took it yesterday as I was reading to Wyatt. I think he was more interested in falling asleep, but I’ll pretend that he was anxious to learn about history.
I know I mainly post pictures, so to get a detailed insight into how we are doing, Laura does a far better job of writing things out.
I just remembered that I came up with a “great” idea for a post tonight while Laura and I were eating supper. Ok, so maybe not really a great idea, but something to keep me in the blogging mode.
With technology like it is, there are not many people today without cellphones, save for the elderly, most infants, and just a select few individuals, nearly everyone, at least in America, has one. Or there is at least one in the immediate family. The fact that there are 1st graders with cellphones is best left for another blog, but in the meantime, the popularity of cellphones has lead to something that really annoys me: the bluetooth headset. (Before you get upset with me because you own one, please keep reading.)
There is definitely a place for headsets. Maybe a place and a circumstance. The place being while driving in a car, and the circumstance being a mother with young children. In both of these situations, attention must be given to other things that require the use of both hands, one being driving a car, and the other herding children while multitasking.
That being said, there are no other places, circumstances, exceptions, whatever to using a bluetooth headset. No exceptions.
We were having supper tonight at Henry’s, and I look over at a table of people, and a man has on a headset. Is this really the place to have one on? Are you really expecting a phone call so important that you must wear an unsightly beast of a contraption on your ear? Do you think that other patrons will automatically view you as more important because you have something sticking onto your ear that flashes a blue light every five seconds? Seriously people. Where has etiquette gone?
Maybe I am old fashioned, or slow to adopt, but surely I am not the only one that feels this way. Please tell me that these headsets grate on the nerves of someone out there. Surely someone gets the urge to rip them off of an ear and smash them under foot.
Leave it to me to make a mountain out of an ant hill….
Its been almost two years since the guys from college have all been together at the same time. The last time this happened was at Michael’s wedding back in September 2006. We finally got back together this weekend for Travis’ wedding:
I was hoping to have an older picture of the group of guys that I could post for comparison, but I cannot find one right now, and the computer(s) that could have one on it are in storage. Hopefully I can pull them out and find one. If anyone has one, let me know, and I will put it up.
Just one of the pictures that we took on Wyatt’s three-week birthday last night. Hopefully I can get some more up soon.
Edit: I will keep adding more pictures as I process them…
For all the details on our trip this weekend, go read Laura’s компютри втора употребаblog. And even though she didn’t post about it, she got a dose of Wyatt just like I did in the picture below. Too bad I was asleep and she didn’t take a picture.
