Business trips get a litte easier once the kids can use the phone.

<p>I recently spent three days in Boston for a series of business meetings and to attend the first ever <em>Weblog Business Strategies</em> conferene.&nbsp; The hardest part of business travel is leaving the kids when they don't understand why you're going or when (or if) you're coming back.</p><p>I remember going through that with Frankie before he could understand that I was, indeed, going to come back.&nbsp; Rita and Rose are just at the point where they are aware enough to miss me but not able to understand anything about whether or not I'm coming back.</p><p>The telephone is a great invention.&nbsp; Once Frankie started to get the hang of it, it made business travel much easier.&nbsp; Now, he's getting the idea of voice mail.&nbsp; Check out the link below to hear a voice mail he left me when I was in Boston (I returned the call immediately and we did get to talk).</p><p>For the first time, Rita and Rose were visiblly excited to see me when I returned home.&nbsp; They stopped eating (it was the middle of dinner) until I came and said hello to each of them.&nbsp; Then they were all smiles and giggles.</p><p>I guess it won't be too long before they are using the telephone, too.</p> 9 application/xml false Frankie voice mail Message from Frankie http://faseidl.com/news/rita-and-rose/2003-06-09-VoiceMail.wav Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 aseidl 68.40.167.222 false true false false true 173251 false false true false false false true 593 blog blogsite/Seidl/web
