Okay. I admit it. I have developed a new “obssession.”. It’s a small thing, really. Fits in the palm of my hand. In fact, I am holding it now, painstakingly typing with too-big thumbs.

Yes, I have finally broken down and gotten a Blackberry. The Curve 8330 from Verizon.

It wasn’t a purchase made lightly. I actually got one for Karon as a mother’s day/anniversary present. She was immediately hooked. Of course, one needs an unlimited data and email plan, but $30.00 a month seems a small price to pay to stay connected.

Karon and I have been in constant communication, as she is currently in Texas helping prepare for my son’s wedding on Satiurday. I will join the fun sometime tomorrow. We have emailed and IM’d like nobody’s business, our phones cheerfully signaling the arrival of each new message.

Oh, plus we get the internet, and I have the ability to convert and watch some of my movies and listen to podcasts.

Oh, I am so hooked.

Away to bed with me now. I have a 6:20 flight in the morning.

Good thing my Curve has a loud alarm.
