That was quite an ordeal for your first attempt! I commend you for not just saying "to heck with it" and jumping in the car (like I might have done).
Way to go and congrats!!!
oh, and thanks for the laugh. I imagined you dialing your phone with your tongue. HA!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

fantastic story I had no idea you could dial with your tongue!
Bike commuting is great but it does help not having deadlines. I'm continually underestimating the time it takes me to get anywhere (hey, it feels like I'm going really fast, right?) not to mention I still think it takes me 5 minutes to get dressed and 10 minutes to shower and change at the other end.

Congrats!
I've operated my iPhone with my nose, but never my tongue!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

ME TOO. It drives me crazy. And anyone who is trying to plan anything with me. But most of all my husband, who believes me when I say I'll be back in 3 hours and worries for the other 2 hours!! Originally Posted by lph
