editor's note

it has been pointed out to me by my single reader that it is my own fault that i was woken up at 3 a.m. with a phone call. and i guess it is. this ONE time it is truly my own fault that i received said phone call, since i said, "you can call me later if you want." well, i don't know what i was thinking because frankly she calls me plenty unprompted so there really was no need for me to actually invite the 3 am call. so i could see how on her end it would sound like i would actually talk to her when she called as opposed to sleeping wonderfully to the sound of her soft voice
