Here's A Quarter...

I feel badly for Beth sometimes. She loooves to talk on the phone. Loves, loves, loves it. Me, I hate it. The only thing worse than having the phone ring is being on it already when another call beeps through on call-waiting. So I feel badly for her because our telephone conversations are, well, nothing to call home about.

Here's a transcript of one of our recent calls from my end:

Ring!

Hello? Hey.
...
Yeah.
...
Okay.
...

Ha ha ha.

All right, by--
...
Okay.
...
Okay.
...
Bye.

Hang up.

I honestly wonder sometimes why she married me ... and why she keeps calling.

Four words to describe your perspective of our phone conversations:

Mission: Hang it up.

The really sad commentary here is that you called me about 30 seconds after you read this entry ... and you're calling me RIGHT NOW.
