People react differently to my cell phone ringing. When it does, it plays “Off we go into the wild, blue yonder.” Yesterday, I stopped by at the offices of an Asheville, NC law firm I’m working with. Walking rapidly down the hall, my phone went off just as a nice young lady came up from the opposite direction. Hearing it, she immediately smiled broadly and started to skip down the hall in time with the music, waving her hands like a cheer leader. That one encounter cheered me up more than anything else has in months. Onward and upward.
