Yesterday I attended a wedding of a good business friend. We don’t know each other as well, for as long or as deeply as many of the other guests, but we had made a good connection. I headed out in the morning with 2 changes of clothing, the pie I was asked to bring, the bubbles I purchased to help with the festivities and my camcorder. I was aware of, but not paying too much attention to, the fact that I may know only one other person at this wedding of about 100 guests, no mean feat for an Introvert. However, over the years I’ve become more comfortable in stranger situations and confident I’d find my way around so I wasn’t worried.

August 6th, 2010 Joan Friedlander I’m pretty sure that cell phones do not have to be in use in all places at all times of the day. I’m equally as sure that people who do not feel the same as I do about their electronic appendages could – possibly, maybe, perhaps – exercise some self-moderation (or is that modulation?) when out in the world in close proximity to the rest of us.
