Disconnected: I left my phone charger in Iowa over Thanksgiving, so it's been dead more than half the time since then (my phone, not Iowa -- not that I can speak for them). I don't have a home phone and have been out of the office so much that one hasn't substituted. I have hundreds of non-returned emails and haven't been posting to my blog, because I've been traveling and away from my computer. This weekend, I was out of cell phone range anyway and couldn't check my email. I haven't talked to my girlfriend in four days, because she's in another country. And yet, it seems all I've been doing lately is chatting with people.
