That old saying about absence making the heart grow fonder: it couldn’t be more true of the relationship that I have with my iPhone. It’s become such an integral part of my life that I don’t know how I ever managed to get by without it. Not since Fox cancelled “Arrested Development” have I missed something this much.
Two nights ago, I cracked the screen on my iPhone.
I was working out on the elliptical trainer and watching “Sanford and Son” clips on my iPhone, which was perched above the machine. As I reached over to it to choose the next related clip, the earphone cord snagged onto the arm pedal of the elliptical trainer.
T-minus two seconds before glass off.
2.00 seconds: Elliptical trainer’s arm pedal snags onto earphone cord.
1.50 seconds: Earphone jack doesn’t disengage from iPhone, and pulls iPhone down with it.
1.00 seconds: iPhone wobbles in the air as it makes its descent.
0.75 seconds: My right leg, straddled onto the elliptical trainer’s plastic foot pedal, is on its upward path.
0.50 seconds: iPhone’s screen and the right plastic foot pedal of the elliptical trainer meet at the apex of the pedal’s upward movement.
0.25 seconds: iPhone goes air born once again.
0.00: Glass off!
