Miss Us???

Many of you are thinking... What?? Miss you?? Susanna has posted more often this week than ever before, and GK's mug grins at us every time we log on the blog (assuming you log on as often as I do :). But those of you who have tried to call know we have effectively cut ourselves off from the outside world.

A few weeks ago during a heavy storm my cell phone happened to be charging in our kitchen right in the spot where a small drip started from sitting water on our roof. After a few drops too many, my phone stopped working except with the earpiece. No problem... I used my earpiece. Until one morning when I was sleeping, Reggie ran out of toys (or just got bored) and chewed up my earpiece. So I was reduced to only texting. Still, I didn't take dynamic action because GK and I have two different providers and I wanted to take my time to research our options before we got new plans and new phones. So I texted my little heart out and used GK's phone when I made my calls.

Well... on our lovely walk home from the seminary train this morning, GK took his phone out of his pocket to check the time. Unfortunately, as his hand came out of his pocket, his phone flew out of his hand and flew to the ground several feet in front of us. The body of the phone and the battery separated and we watched in disbelief as the battery teetered on the edge of the storm drain and then fell in! The solutions seems simple enough... get a new battery. Except that his phone is ten years old. So we're hoping that even though we're in the land of no customer service some of the phone numbers of GK's new surfing buddies are still in there and still accessible and that some angel in Brooklyn will help us get them.

So we've reached a critical point in the land of no phones. Stay tuned and hopefully we'll rejoin the 21st century... tomorrow!
