IT'S EARLY, OVERCAST AND QUIET.  I'm on HVY MTL, soft pedaling a remote single track.  Trying to shake some darkness and bring a little light into the day.

All of the sudden it's a party in my back pocket.  Haptic touches and synthesized chirps begging for my attention.

Forgot to turn my phone onto silent mode.  Doh!

More pings and zings.  Ugh.

I hesitate, stop, check it... just friends and family prepping for the weekend plans.  Nothing wrong with that.  

A flick to silent mode,
peace restored,
gotta work,
then party.
