Well I have heard of some unusual habits around receiving and reading the Catch, but this one takes the cake. Steve has his Blackberry by his bed and it sounds off when new emails come through. Being that he is in the Midwest, it is usually around 4:30 in the morning when the Catch shows up. For some reason he is trained to hear his Blackberry vibrate (twice) and he almost always picks it up and proceeds to read the new Catch in bed. Well that means keyboard sounds and light from his screen, which is enough to wake up his wife, who is in no mood for catching anything at that hour.

“Will you shut that thing off?” She apparently says this every morning like a ritual. Steve, meanwhile, is praying, “LORD, teach me how to frame my day.” Two different people… two different reactions… one bed. Isn’t life fun together?

If you have an interesting story about how the Catch fits into your day, we would love to hear it. Write me privately in reply to this email or click below to have your comment posted with others who write in. An autographed copy of my latest music CD goes to the one we like the best.
