Ahoy-hoy

The "Wall Street Journal" had an amusing piece about people who still use their "ancient" (meaning, maybe seven years old) cell phones, whether for thrift, because of inertia or even by preference. I'm enough of a pack rat to save my old phones, even though they don't work anymore, so I pulled them out this morning and had a laugh thinking of how trendy I felt with each upgrade. That one on the left isn't even my first -- that honor went to a classic clunky Nokia, whereabouts unknown, that did yeoman's duty back in 2004.

Also in the drawer with the phones were about a dozen charging cords, instruction manuals and I think even some old landline jacks. Definitely time to do some spring cleaning!
