Telephone Disconnect

Last month, I decided that I needed to make a definitive move towards really settling in here in Columbus, so I talked with the good folks at Sprint about changing my cell phone to a local number. The woman was very helpful, but noted for me that A) if they reprogram my phone with a new number, then I'd lose everything that is currently programmed into my phone book, and 2) I was only two days into my billing cycle, and it would be easier to do at the start of a cycle. So, we agreed that we'd do it at the start of the next cycle, which is tomorrow.

It seemed like such a reasonable idea -- the people who need to call me the most these days are here in Columbus, and the numbers I'm calling most are here as well. Of course, when I mentioned it to my dad last week, his response was, "WHY? It doesn't matter anymore, just leave it..." Which made me rethink the whole thing, and to be honest, I'm still wavering.

Thanks, Dad...
