Random Musings of a Curious Mind


"It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

The Dumbing Down of America

I received a call tonight - actually several calls - from a very young woman looking for "Christopher Robin". It wasn't just that she didn't recognize the name - the real kicker was that the number she was trying to dial wasn't even in the same state as my number. After I explained that she wasn't even close on the number - just to add to the insanity - she called back three times!

So, when someone gives you a name that is the same as a character in a children's story, do you actually try to call? And how is it you didn't recognize the name? When you know that you've called the wrong number - a totally different area code - do you continue to use the autodial on your phone, or do you actually redial the number manually?

Sadly, this generation - who can't figure out what number to dial - is the one that will be taking over the country in a few short years. Be afraid - be very afraid!
