My wife's niece came to visit us for 3 weeks. She comes every year.
On her last day hear I decided a day at the beach would be nice. We drive down to the beach and have to hike in about 400 yards. The whole way they are griping and moaning. I made them carry things, like towels and boogie boards (so heavy). By the time we arrived at a clear spot on the beach I was so annoyed I was ready to leave. Eventually the chaos settled and the water was calling. I ran down to my old friend (the great Pacific Ocean) and dove in with gusto. Swam out, body surfed back in. It was a glorious time.
As I came back in to shore I was walking towards my wife and Caleb who was not liking the moving water when I felt my pocket. In the chaos and annoyance of the kids wining I had completely forgot to take my keys and phone out of my pocket. FYI Saltwater and Cell phones are a bad combination. On a brighter note, both keys and phone stayed in my pocket and were not swallowed by the ocean.
So I spent a whole week without a cell phone. It wasn't as bad as I thought. But alas, today I bought a new electronic leash.
Anyone reading who actually knows me, please call me or e'mail you phone number since I lost almost everyones number.
