Don: you are always far too kind! I’m glad you found your way to my new digs. And I’m glad you can empathize with the loss of a beloved gadget. Plus, your entry reminded me of my lovely mittens – I just can’t have nice things, I guess.

OMG, I haven't been here awhile, and you have only become more brilliant. I am in awe, and feel deeply remiss that I've been letting all writing slip just so I could concentrate on, on, whatever else it is I do. This reminds me of my similar story but that, it quickly points out, was inspired by you, so, huh, interesting.

Steve Jobs called, he says he will sell you apps at half-price from now on, so great is his sorrow at your plight.

Thank you for sharing your heartbreak with us. I know it must have been difficult for you, but you’ve reminded us all to cherish what we have and treat it with a little kindness and much respect.

My inferior Kyocera Wildcard thanks you for it.

When the iPhone first came out, it was the star of every party I went to–whoever had one would have a big crowd around them. So it only follows that when one dies, it’s like the death of a rock star. Don’t be surprised if an impromptu shrine sprouts on the sidewalk next to where you dropped it.

When you get the replacement, check with the phone-guy to see if you can keep this one just to use as a prop on the train or other public places. Oh, the collection of short stories you could write if you keep a log of all the interactions! In fact, you could give up bee-keeping altogether once you’ve launched your new career as an author, or better yet!, use the proceeds from your best-selling (phone) book to launch your bee-keeping dreams.

Or y’know, move to Wenatchee. We have bees here too. Whichever.

I hugged my iPhone a little tighter tonight before I plugged it in…
