I asked him once why he did not have a cell phone. "I don't need one. You have one, right?" he replied.

You and I, we had our formative appetites fed according to Here Is What You're Getting, and we ate it/did it/read it/went there, and that was that, and we were grateful, our version of bounty was finite.
