You're both right- Steve, I should've explained. Ed, you're right- there was a change in a relationship; just not a personal one. In 2004/2005, I had a reasonably successful book, and that meant nearly endless hours on the phone with publishers, publicists, and related professionals. That was a long-distance relationship if there ever were one, as I reside in Maine and most of the media world works out of New York. When my book faded in 2005/2006, my phone time dropped as a direct and measurable result of not needing to be on the phone to New York many times per day. Steve, Ed,

If I was to guess, I bet relationship status has something to do with the change. I’m with Steve. If I was to guess, I bet relationship status has something to do with the change.

Different work? Worse phone? One yakky friend move to Asia? The stats cry out for just a line or two of explanation. Any reason for the sharp decline in phone usage over the past year?
