Pre-travel anxiety update #1

Mom sure is keeping things interesting by going more than thirty-six hours without answering her phone less than twenty-four hours before we're supposed to rendezvous in Philly. Where will we meet? How will she let me know if she and my brother miss their plane and come out on a later flight? Has she rented us a car yet? All will be revealed in time!

In desperation, I called my sister and she said she'd reached her last night by calling her home phone (Mom often hangs out at her place to use the computer since I think she still doesn't have connectivity at home) and just letting it ring until Mom picked it up. So I called earlier and sang "I Talked To the Trees" into the answering machine for like half a minute. Just now I called back and sang "Surrey With a Fringe On the Top", but I don't really want my sis and BIL to come back to an answering machine filled with nonsense and no room for important messages.

WHEEEEEE!
