Phone conversation with Allison tonight. Friends of ours got married on the Cape this weekend, and I’d already talked to Eric, who’d officiated the ceremony as a temporary justice of the peace, about the wedding.

Skype Conversation
Meg: Aren’t you leaving for work soon?
Eric: No, Meg. In this country we have a holiday called Independence Day, and most people have that day off from work.
Meg: Oh, right, it’s that day when a couple people light off a few fireworks. Boring!

…last week, I accidentally called your mom at like midnight…thinking I was calling Beth’s CELL PHONE, but I was calling the house, LOL. I apologized to your mom, and she was like, “That’s okay, Germaine. I thought you were Megan because she usually calls at this time.”
