I was on the elevator today coming up, and a guy just says, how are you?

Very nicely. How are you? And I then proceeded to rant about how much I hate January for like a good 30 seconds.

I was like, this month sucks. It's cold and it never ends.

He's like, that's not what I asked. I'm sorry I asked how you were doing.

I ended up by saying, that's how I'm doing. How are you doing?

But January is finally over. Today is the last day of January, January 31st.

The birthday of my brother-in-law. So happy birthday of my brother-in-law. Happy birthday to Craig Carton.

So I decided not to call Craig. I just texted him.

Oh, you can't do that. Why?

Shaming me for not calling him.

You didn't communicate at all, Tommy.

Yeah, you never even said anything about his birthday to him.

How do you know that?

Because you said yesterday that you weren't, so I'm just taking you at your word.

Yeah, I sent them a text.

That's because I shamed you. me thinking, like, who are the people in one's life that needs a phone call versus a text?

Like, co-worker, former coworker, text.

Like, I think that's easy.

Friends, text, right?

Yeah.

Parents, you got to call.

Call your mom, dad.
