The Family That Plays Hooky Together...

Who can concentrate on anything productive when there are amazing new products and services being announced... by Steve Jobs! One by one, members of my family decided to stay home. We canceled meetings, classes, and appointments. We let Otto stay home from school because, well, we realize the importance and gravity of being one of the very first people to hear any announcement out of the mouth of Jobs. We weren't going to let him miss out!

When it was almost time for the broadcast to start, we made sure to already be done eating and to have used the facilities before he started talking. We locked the door. We made sure no one would call us with actual phone calls. Then we gathered, riveted, around the screen, taking in every word.

What he said was fantastical. It was inspirational. It spoke to our hearts and our minds. We were instantly filled with excitement, and the urge to go spend money on Apple products.

Long Live Steve Jobs!
