but I was scared to death of eternity, I was saved by grace but destroyed by naivete

I have a cell phone.

Its probably relevant to mention that I've been without a cell phone for over a month now. I lost it while volunteering at the Spook Walk for Legends (which I know I still haven't posted about, and really ought to.) I waited around for a couple weeks to see if it would turn up. It didn't. So I waited around for a few more weeks, because I didn't especially care. I was surprised, at first, how little I missed the presence of a cell phone in my life. Mostly I missed it because I don't otherwise have a timepiece. Eventually, before Thanksgiving, I got around to ordering a new cell phone. For reasons having to do with Sprint being a joke of a service provider, that didn't so much work out. So I tried again, and lo and behold yesterday a package arrived via UPS containing my new cell phone.

I'd never lost a cell phone before. This is only the third cell phone I've ever owned. So I'm a little embarrassed to have to do this. But I also don't have any telephone numbers anymore, and that largely defeats the purpose of even having the stupid thing.

So if you think I ought to have your number (and if you're reading this, I probably ought to) please e-mail it to me: eben at be dash epic dot com. Thank you.
