i enter the 1990s

i got a cel phone tonight. this is the first one ever (i've used one that C's parents supplied him because they are lovably paranoid, but it was never meant to be used from the other side of the country) and it was way too easy. we went to Sam's, i filled in a tiny amount of info on a form, picked up some toilet paper and kleenex, checked out, got into the car, and called both sets of units while C drove us to Costco.

it's the flippy kind. we can pretend it's Star Trek with frabjousdave

we ended up at Sam's and Costco because the Yule ham was FROZEN at Sam's; the properly stored ones at Costco were a buck cheaper a pound too. at least if Costco ruined theirs they were sneaky about it.
