Double ugh. I just got an email.
"The ONLY reason I called today was because I woke up with a strong feeling something was terribly [wrong] in your part of the world." He went on to say he knew it was me that answered, that he would "know my voice anywhere" and he "let it go to be polite." He signed off "Go in peace."
Oh, fer cryin' out loud. If you're so concerned something "terribly wrong" (unsurprisingly, he typed "wrong" wrong) is going on, why be chickenshit and pretend you're calling for somebody else?
He often had these "premonitions" and I'm not aware of a single one that ever actually was true. He was very woo-woo about stuff like that.
I almost had myself convinced it was just a wrong-dial. Crap.
No response needed to the email. I'm being permitted to "go in peace," so I guess that's the thing to do.
