Two ships passing in the night.

The mystery escalates…

Technology can make our lives more difficult at times.

Ships in the night.

As I was going down the stair, I missed my wife Who was Right There….

Since this is Philadelphia do you still say “meet you at the eagle” (Wanamaker’s)

“Beats me.”

They’re right next to each other and they don’t even notice.

How often this scene is repeated in the US since cell phones took over…

My favorite cellphone story: I was in a checkout line in Costco and the guy behind me is sending a text, I suspect a “where are you” to his wife, because the purse in his cart rings.

He needs to install the Find My Wife app.

two ships crossing in the day, and no one’s on watch..

My wife and I share our locations via our phones, when she remembers to take hers.

“Yesterday, upon the stair, / I met a man who wasn’t there! / He wasn’t there again today, /Oh how I wish he’d go away!” — Hughes Mearns

Beats going all through the place looking for each other.

Going up the down staircase!

I did that once. I got the reply, “Turn around!”

Down the down escalator…

Get the technology you will use that won’t use you. Why I just have an updated flip phone.
