I was just thinking yesterday night - thank goodness for cell phones.

Many years ago I let a gal stay in my apartment out of pity. She had nowhere to go. Well, she spent hundreds of dollars on long distance phone calls. It was not without trouble that my got her to leave the place.

But now, even the word combination "long distance calls" is sort of... when did I hear that last time? In this millennium or in the past millennium?..
