put down the phone, and back slowly away from the internet...

I'm a grouchy old man, and the criticism that follows is as much directed at myself as at anyone else.

TAKE A BREAK, ALREADY!


IF YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME FOR
TWO MINUTES WITHOUT CHECKING
YOUR PHONE, IT'S NOT A CONVERSATION.

FACEBOOK WILL BE THERE WHEN YOU GET BACK.

THAT PERSON YOU ARE TEXTING?
THEY AREN'T "HERE"; I AM.

NO, I WON'T FOLLOW YOU ON  TWITTER.
BUT I WILL READ EVERY EMAIL OR LETTER
YOU SEND TO ME.

IF I CAN CLEARLY HEAR BOTH SIDES OF
YOUR PHONE CALL CONVERSATION,
YOU'RE BEING AN ASS.

There - I feel better!  As you were...
