Text Messaging

I was at the park a few months ago at a play group and some of the women there started discuss Blackberries (the phone, and how stupid they thought they were) and Text Messaging ("Why on earth are people sitting there texting each other when they could just pick up the phone an dial?"). I just thought to myself, "These people don't know people who are in the medical field...these things are like a God-send." There are so many times when Dr. J is with a patient or doing rounds, and he can't just pick up the phone. Text messagine has been a wonderful way for us to communicate. He has a pager from work that I can send texts to, and that's great, but we recently bought the Centro by Palm (which is a phone and palm pilot in one) and we love it. It's so easy to communicate with each other. Anyhow, nothing against the ladies at the park, but I love technology like that. It's great.
