Home for the Holidays


I just had a moment of sheer terror. Joe College Grad assured me that he would call last night to provide flight info. There was no call--a late night buzz of his cell phone went unanswered. Then, OLGS tried to call him a few minutes ago. No answer. I had visions of Joe lying in an alley in New York, the cell phone ringing uselessly. Then I tried to call. He answered, and there was the noise of an airport behind his voice. He is flying out of JFK, on a DC-9 bound for Billings, of all places. He sounded bored, sleepy, and a little annoyed that we were bothering him. He sounded wonderful.
