A small PSA: if you have occasion to call chez Writingortyping, we may now be reached via our cell phones. Cell coverage in our area finally improved to the point where we could (and did) tell Verizon where to get off. Since it seemed our home phone number was primarily used by pollsters and alarming prerecorded messages that started, "Don’t be alarmed!" I can’t say I will miss being landlined.
If you don’t know our cell numbers and should, shoot me an e-mail or leave me a comment.
ETA: I also have a skype account for people who have that preference. If you want the connectivity info, same drill applies.
