Normally I'd agree about the phone. There are two obstacles in this case. The first, most important one, is that the person to whom I sent the email is almost entirely deaf and doesn't as yet have a phone that he can use.

The second obstacle is that we both hate phones anyway.

So the first is a legitimate reason for not calling. The second is not quite as legit, but a good explanation of why phone calls haven't happened.

Don't mind me. I'm just fretting over stuff because that's what I do. :)
