I'm in Chicago for the weekend; it's beautiful, and great, etc. etc. GODDAMMIT I LEFT MY PHONE CHARGER AT HOME.

I've now tried 3 different T-Mobile vendors, a Best Buy and a Radioshack — no dice. Nobody bothers to stock a Sidekick-compatible charger. Sigh. Well, I suppose I'll survive somehow. But consider this fair warning: my battery will inevitable decline; my responsiveness will slow as I leave the device off for longer and longer periods; and finally I will lapse into utter, terrible silence.

All of which is to say you should call Catherine instead.

tommy got in last night! kriston will be here today! that is to say, blogging will be even lighter as i squire the two lads around town for the weekend.
