"Well, I've tied up my phone line so long that my wife had to talk to me on Instant Messenger! (Fortunately, she is very understanding.) "We aren't to that point yet.

Thankfully, the kids all have things to do tonight or I'd have to pull out my top ten list and use the number one reason. "Don't touch that computer, I'm still on! :)
