My day job coerces me into missing the road even more. It teases me with phone calls needing to be made all over the U.S..... and I recognize all of the area codes. I won't even have to look at the screen to know I'm dialing Chicago, I just know it because the number starts 7-0-8. And 4-1-9.... Toledo And 6-1-7.... Boston. And 2-1-6.... Cleveland. And 7-1-6.... Buffalo. Then I just start thinking about all the friends I made in that area code, and wondering what they're doing, and remembering our crazy times, and by the time the person I'm actually calling picks up I forgot what I was calling about.
