I called Brother Phil around 7:30 Sunday night. The phone rang and eventually went to voice message so I hung up. We are both from a generation where much of our lives phones were tethered by cords. I thought that maybe, like me, he doesn't carry his smart phone w/ him all of the time. My phone rang just after 9 p.m. It was Phil returning my call. He started the conversation by telling me he hadn't answered his phone earlier because he was watching a playoff game. He added though that he had told Sheila that he was going to call me right after the game - even if it went into overtime! I wasn't sure if I should be apologetic for calling during a playoff game, be ticked that I wasn't as important as a football game on TV, or be impressed that I rated higher than overtime. I decided to think it was kinda funny and I told the story to Brother Russell on Monday morning when we were driving to Collegetown. Turns out he and Donna might have a similar problem to Phil's this spring. Two of their grandchildren are graduating from highschool and the kids live in opposite directions from Russ & Donna's home. What to do if both graduations are at the same time?
