Uncynical Wednesdays

You know that kind of soft disappointment you feel when someone you just met is on business in New York and has been calling you once or twice a day, just to say hello, and then you get an email saying ‘Lost my phone. I’ll give you a call whenever I get back into town.’ You know that feeling?

Yeah, I do too.

But you know the feeling when, just as you are shutting down the computer, the phone rings and you see the name on the caller ID, and you realize that ‘whenever’ means right now.

I know that feeling too, and it’s a pretty good one.
