One of Those People

It's official.  I'm "one of those people."  The annoying kind who looks at their cell phones in odd situations.  Yup, super annoying.  Sigh, such is life.  But you see, I have good reason.

It was the end of the Phillies/Cardinals game.  Somehow the Cards had bases loaded.  I need food.  (side note: I get uber cranky if I miss feeding time.)

I was waiting in line at a fast-ish food joint while traveling for work in a city, far far away from Philadelphia or St. Louis.  So basically, I was the only one who cared.  In all fairness, I was by myself, in a $8 meal grab n go restaurant.  Not quite breaking any of my cardinal cell phone rules.

Enter trusty iPhone with ESPN SportsCenter App, programmed to my liking with my favorite teams:  PSU football, Duke basketball, and Phillies baseball.  I got the play by play.  You bet I let out a "Phew!" at the final out.  Philles won!  YAY!

Yes, I'm the first to admit I was wrong when scoffing smart phones.

Ain't technology grand?

Update:  Can't believe I wrote an iPhone post earlier today.  The world lost a visionary today and is changed for the better because of Steve Jobs.
