I can't sit around and wait for the telephone to ring.

I'm in lockdown mode as far as what I want to accomplish. I don't let anything else get in my way.

There's so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring.

You know, it's not a given that there is an 'online' and 'offline' world out there. When you use the telephone, you don't say that I'm entering some 'telephono-sphere.' You don't say that, and there is no obvious need to say that when you are using a modem.

I used to have a phone machine that you turn 'on' and 'off,' which was great. Now, it's so technological that it's like going down the rabbit hole.

I have an answering machine in my car. It says, I'm home now. But leave a message and I'll call when I'm out.

I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.
