Since June 1990 I've tried to change my outgoing message on my answering machine as often as once a week. There are times I procrastinate and it's more like a Thought for the Month. And sometimes I know nobody has called that week, so I go ahead and leave a good one on there until a few people have heard it. Anyway, I've been keeping track of them this entire time and it finally occurred to me to go ahead and put them on my site.
Here are the old phone numbers I used to have. There are a bunch I don't remember. At one point I was moving an average of every six months.
238-7797
242-0262
307-7383
