Oops!

Oh dear... You know what? Ron Mussleman is a real nice guy! Here is his picture with my sister.
I had a trip scheduled for today to the National Gallery for no reason (other than self preservation!) But, much to my dismay, Bob Ryan said last night to expect rain all day. I decided that would not be a good day to make a junket, so I tried to all Metro Access to cancel, but they had some sort of phone phone outage. To make a long story short, I ended up taking my phone to bed so that I could call them at 6:00 AM.

Well, I tried, but it is DARK at 6 AM! I pushed the button that I thought would call Metro Access, and the next thing I hear is, "Hi. You've reached Ron. Please leave..."

I hung right up, of course, but he called immediately, and was very nice about it all. He sounded relieved. I guess probably normal people only call their friends at 6AM if there is some sort of emergency! At that point, I decided that the recent turn of events meant that the fates must want me to go, so I went, and I had a wonderful time!
