Yes, you can still get a wall phone on Amazon. And at $34.88 you can afford one for every room.
I was so surprised and excited to see my own self on your Saturday tweets! I’ve been reading you guys forever, and your tweets (formerly linkages) have been a huge source of inspiration to me over the years.
You always find such high quality, thought-provoking material, more so than any other spot I’ve found on the internets. To find myself here is a big deal for me, and has made my day!
Also, circularly, I found the Idler through you, and now you’re linking to me quoting the Idler… 🙂
Funny! You are also an inspiration to us. Hope to see you again soon.
