Billy,

I'll agree with you about making life too fast paced. Those damn engineers that invented computers, cell phones, PDA's, etc. I would like to kick them good. I tried really hard not to buy a cell phone. In fact, I was the only attorney at the last law firm I worked at that didn't have a cell phone. I finally broke down and got one because I was dating a woman and telephone calls to her were long distance. Cell phone plans had free long distance and for what I was paying in a long distance bill I could easily afford a cell phone. It just made economic sense. The other day while dove hunting, I got at least 3 calls on it, and it bugged the heck out of me. However, since I now have a 5 month old daughter and my mom was watching her, I kept it on.

I just bought a 2.5" portable hard drive so that I can take it and the baby over to my parents' place and do work. Technology sucks. I even have a PDA that I could take into the field with me, and I have thought about it too. I could be working and billing clients while waiting for waterfowl, doves, or deer to come by. Somehow, I just don't see it happening when it gets really cold (i.e., I don't want to take my fingers out of the gloves).
