wow, it still worked?! yay! i agree about the earbuds. mine's the same way. i end up wearing one of those ear cover bands (like earmuffs, but a head band...what is that called?) even when it's not cold to keep them from falling out.

i've been wearing them under a hat, but now that it's getting warmer here and the hat has to come off, i need another solution. i'll probably end up with some more substantial headphones, but i'm a little worried it will make me less aware of traffic around me. we'll see...
