Sounds of Silence

For various reasons, I no longer use my cell phone. At first it seemed like a great pain in the butt not to have one. But as time went on, it is actually kind of nice. Kind of nice and quiet. While driving I don't have to worry about answering or who to call next. When a cell phone rings, it's not for me. If clients leave a message on my business line, I try to call back as soon as possible. And there's always email. So now while driving, I listen to the radio (talk radio, old radio shows, classical). It's very calming. Also introspective. Especially on long drives. So I'm contemplating if I want it back or not. I guess in an emergency it can be helpful or necessary. But overall it's less stressful. I guess I'll think about it.
