2. You should see the looks my young friends give me when I don't answer my phone.

We'll be out partying, like you do here, and my phone will ring. When I'm busy, I ignore the call and send them to VM figuring that if it's really important, they will leave a message. So picture this, 8 people standing around drinking and laughing and having a good time when my phone rings. I reach into my jacket, glance at the screen and kill the call. As I look up I see 14 eyes staring expectedly at me and all activity has ceased... they look like I just ate a puppy right there at the bar.

Maybe I'm just old, but being out of touch is often a welcome break for me.
