AARRGGGG!!!!!!!! a.k.a. Missed Connections

That's a yell of frustration, not a pirate. Or maybe a frustrated pirate.

Last night, Don called. I was in the middle of trying to get the upstairs DVD player to work, so I mostly just muttered complaints. A few minutes later, the connection cut out. We tried a few more times, but could only connect for a few seconds at best. ARG! What a bonehead! (I guess Don's not the only one.) I totally should have dropped whatever I was doing to talk to Don! I guess I shouldn't be taking connectivity forgranted.

This morning, I got on the computer at around 6am. No text messages from Don, so I didn't send him any either. I tried calling at around 10am, but his phone wasn't on. So I went on with my day. When I got home at 2:45pm, I had missed his call! He had made it to Paradise Corner Cafe, and was using his calling card to call from their land line. How I wish I had been home for that call!

When I got on the computer this evening, I had a ton of text messages from Don received at 6:45am. Agonizing to find out I missed my opportunity to text him this morning!

I guess I got spoiled by the first few days. Will have to get used to maximizing my chances of somehow getting in touch...
