WRONG AGAIN

We now have caller ID all over the place; on the phone, and tv and computer, if they are on. A couple of week's ago, everything was on, and this very familiar phone number was identified all over the place from an incoming call. I ruminated for a moment, then realized the number was so familiar because it was exactly the same as ours, except the last digit was a four instead of a three. Since the numbers were so close, I assumed someone dialed it incorrectly, so I chose not to answer it.

Boy, was I wrong!



After a miniscule amount of deliberation, I realized my theory was ridiculous. (Think about it.)



Turns out it was somebody who wanted Pat to cover for her at the library. Amazing, huh?

Even more amazing, that's where Pat is right now; covering at the library for someone who's phone number is almost exactly the same as ours, except for the last digit.
(And some people say my life is boring!)



Makes you wonder....................

.

P.S. I just cancelled my phone land line in CT. Marie, the At&t service rep who processed my request, told me to call back any time I wanted my service renewed. She said I have been a very good customer.

There is so much happening in my life; I may have to open a Twitter account.

Hey, did anyone read Sunday's "For Better or For Worse" comic strip? Worth searching out and pondering, mis amigos. Search out and ponder.

JOYOUS

I've added a song to Sara's wedding request list, Dave Matthews' "You and Me." I heard it for the first time when it was performed at the Grammys; I was mesmerized. Luckily I dvr'd it, so I can see and listen over and over again, much to Geeg's chagrin. I was even motivated to hook up my tv to my home theatre system (such as it is.) The performance has everything I crave; raucus horns, soaring strings, gospel type back up, and a simple, positive message. Hallejuliah, hallejuliah; no cowbell required.



Forget the fact that Dave moves like Elaine Benes taught him how to dance, he seems like a real down to earth type of guy. I bet he's known love and loss, fame and perhaps infamy. Make some room on that pedestal, John Krasinski, Pop's got a new man crush!





UPDATE: I've got the grammy performance on my Ipod; music and video. My first freakin' Ipod video. Welcome, Pop, to the 21st century!


I've got a new anthem, Geeg; "You and Me together, we can do anything, anything!"

(And when the kids are old enough, we will teach them to fly...............)
