*gleeful cackle*

I sent Dad a text message yesterday, basically to keep myself from dying of boredom as we waited in the corridor outside the courtroom. I finally retrieved my voicemail today, and he ranted, "You know how to text?! How do you send a text message? I don't know how to text! On Saturday, you're going to show me how to text!" It was hilarious.

I extend gratitude and deep joy to my friends at Portus who showed me how the whole text messaging thing works.
