Home Phone Number

My home phone number for the past 25 years has been the same. It was associated with the telephone which was plugged into the wall, known as my land line; not to be confused with the phone I use on my friends boat which was not a land line, it was a house boat.

Maxwell Smart from the 1960 television series used to have a shoe phone, literally, a phone in his shoe, and even when I started in business I had a car phone bolted onto the dash of my car.

Yesterday I received a call on my iphone and my computer and my iwatch both started to buzz! I didn’t know what to answer - my camera, my computer, or my watch. Regardless I missed the call, no wonder I get confused sometimes. It’s also hard to find a payphone, who has a quarter to use one even if you found one?


So when I cancelled my house phone, I transferred the old number to my office account. I didn’t call the phone company to do this, I talked to the lady who hosts my internet. So my old house phone is no longer a phone, it is just a number otherwise known as a phantom line, it resides in the clouds and is now known as line two. You can still reach me at the old house phone, but don’t call me at night because I won’t hear it ring at the office. Instead, your voice message will be converted to a wave file, and I will receive an email at home, telling me you are calling my office. If you want me at home, send me a text, and I will call you.

Summer is not officially over until September 21 st . However, “back to school” week is a sure sign of the fall! The fall is a busy time in our financial planning office, as people seem to use this time of year to tidy up many small items concerning everything financial. It might also be a good time of year for you to do the same, especially if you aren’t in this “fall time” habit.

How to Choose a Keynote Speaker:

Have you ever gone to a presentation and as you watched and listened; you found yourself completely immersed in the conversation from the podium? Soon after you hear the words, “Thank you, you have been a great audience”, people applaud and it’s over. Upon reflection, you find that the time just whipped by.  Then, you find yourself talking about the presentation to your friends and colleagues. In contrast, have you ever gone to a presentation and as the presenter is talking, you are looking at your watch, wondering if you should read your emails, or think about getting up and going for a coffee? Imagine if you were the person who was responsible for choosing one of the two speakers above. Which one would you be proud of?
