saying goodbye

my friend natasha and i talk a lot on the phone. there always comes a point when we think that we are near the end of the conversation. we say goodbye, and then...boom! we talk for another ten to twenty minutes before we actually hang up the phone!

i pointed this out to her, and she made a good suggestion. what if we just said goodbye as soon as we got on the phone? that way we could then proceed with whatever we really have to say.

i think it is a good idea.
