The 2004 Motorola Flip Phone at the next table is screaming for its charger. Earl has a hot green tea with a couple squirts of honey. Jamie is reading a bunch that he is contemplating purchasing. I am reading and responding to emails.
All is normal at Barnes and Noble.
“I’d like to write a blog entry before I leave”, I muse.
“It took you an hour to respond to an email.” This is accompanied by a glare.
I send out an all-points Tweet and Facebook status update:
Someone give that old woman a charger for her rotary flip phone so it stops beeping!
Earl looks at his phone and starts doing something electronic. Jamie continues to read the book he might buy.
I get a look from the husband. He says to me, deadpan, “Sooner or later my bowels are going to explode.”
And so ends this blog entry.
Holy cow! Do flip phones still work on today’s cell networks?
Judging by the volume of her voice when she was using it, the answer to your question would be “not very well”.
Oh, I do love that “glare” part.
Unfortunately I’ve been seeing it too often lately.
