The phone rings and everyone ignores it. It’s probably no one, someone says. And that someone is probably right.
None of us bothers to follow the sound to its source, cordless phones always getting lost, always hidden under something. No one suggests checking the caller ID. No one cares that the phone is ringing.

As I tell people, the only reason I still have a house phone is for my 84 year-old mother to call, and to provide tele-marketer's with job security.
