Pennsylvania 65000

For those of you who are too young to remember, the first big step from a switchboard operator was a phone number that had a prefix...

two letters that MEANT something..

Like AR 25025

Arizona, 25025 Or Granite 44325.. or..

Only the big cities had them at first, and then everyone had them. No area code...

just Pennsylvania 6500...

This went on well into my teen years and beyond. So simple.

Now I have to dial 11 digits to call my sister, who lives a half mile away...

So instead of settling for feeling like a dinosaur,

I got a new phone.

It's a music phone, but didn't get it for the music..

I got it cuz it's pretty..


oooo... pretty...

and shiny..

and skinny..

and has a 2 megapixel camera ... that's more than I ever used on my first camera that took all the pictures on my trips (except the last one)

and shiny...

we all know how I feel about shiny...

I love shiny....

and IT'S called the Gleam....

sigh...





still have to dial 11 numbers to talk to my sister, but now it's much more fun...
