1/23: stacking it up

Hi Friends:
 
First off, thanks for all the well wishing. I feel much better--vertigo, in case you're wondering. I don't know why, the doctor doesn't know why--life is a mystery. For all the people who didn't wish me well, feel free to send me money and gifts to make up for it. : )
 
This week's post is about a simple solution to a modern problem. Ever go to a restaurant, happy hour, or other social gathering with a bunch of people and then not talk to anyone because everyone was too busy on their iPhone or other device? Yes, nowadays it is possible to spend the whole day with someone and barely speak to them--but if you text them, they will text you right back. ?!
 
So, here's the solution: phone stacking. When you get to a restaurant, everyone puts their cell phones in a stack in the center of the table. The first one to reach for their device has to pay for dinner, or everyone's appetizers, or something. Another variation is that everyone puts $20 or so with their phone. If you reach for your phone, you forfeit your $20.
 
I looked this up after spending a party where everyone was playing Words with Friends...
 
Have a great week!
