I hope this is not a late night rant. Work with me here. As followers of this web site and my activities know, I much prefer to be working with a family, at their car and answering their questions. I have posted on my web sites that I always prefer a phone call. To that end, I am amazed how many people email me, once, twice, three times, irritated that I am not responding. Sorry folks, car seats are in cars, not on computers. I may have 30 plus years around technology, but that does not mean I like to be a slave to it. To the contrary, I prefer to be away from in, working with families at their cars, in classrooms or the hospital lobby, somewhere where people are who want assistance. Please do not tie me to my computer, or any one of the web sites that I have. I may sit down and answer an email here or there, but it is not what I want to spend my time on. Additionally, and you folks know the type, there are too many people who take 11 emails to accomplish what a two minute conversation could. I give 50 plus hours a week to this safety program, unpaid. I love the time I spend, and give willingly. I would much rather assist, and assist, and assist, helping as many people as I can in a day or week or month. Expecting me to be here, at my keyboard, plunking away endlessly is not only unreasonable, it does not respect my time. Sure, I could take on more technology and talk while software types. But what about my tan? It is nice to go to the driving range on occasion and relax chasing a golf ball around. I like to work on my cars. Every day that I do I learn more, and that helps the families I work with. It also make sure vehicles in our family loaner program get the attention they need. I do add a feature or two on occasion, but that is when the Colorado snow keeps me inside. That did not happened much this past winter. So, if you have any car seat questions;  use, recycling, fit, pre-purchase, you name it. Grab that 100 plus year old invention, the telephone, and give me a call. Thanks.
