Yet Another Trip South

I'm heading down to visit my parents this weekend. My friend Chris's birthday is Thursday, so I'm hoping to see him Saturday at some point since I can't be in Eugene for his actual birthday. Maybe lunch or something. If Chris would actually call me back or something, I could actually make a plan. But whatever.

I have to rant about something for a sec, so bear with me. Of the all time most annoying sounds, my personal least favorite is the busy signal on the phone. With call-waiting and voice messaging being so popular as phone service options, I can't figure out why the busy signal still exists. Anyway, people of Earth, if I'm calling you, and you don't have call waiting or voice mail, don't be on your phone! I know you can sense when I'm going to call you, so quit trying to avoid me and sit patiently by the phone until it rings. Thankyouandgoodnight.
