What does he do?

Our home phone just rang a few minutes ago. I say "home" phone, meaning our Dallas area phone number. Remember that one? The number that is a completely free & local call to anyone within the 972 area code? And, the number that is a mere long distance call to anyone else in the United States? Not an international call... a simple long distance call charge if you are outside of the 972 calling area. Anyway, I digress...

So, someone just called a moment ago asking if this was the residence of Sam E. (He did know our last name... I just don't feel like typing it.) I confirmed that yes, it was. He then asked if this was "the same Sam that did elevator work... uh... does he work on elevators or elevation?" Huh? I paused for a while, because if I were to be completely & totally honest, I have no idea what my husband does at work. But, I've never heard him mention anything about elevators. So, I answered "no". However, it was one of those answers where I'm trying to convince myself & the other person that I actually am telling the truth. I assume he bought it because he thanked me & hung up the phone.

Guess I better double check with Sam to make sure that I didn't lead this poor Texas man with a thick, country accent & a 469 area code (he called me for free!) astray. And, then maybe I'll ask him what he actually does do at work...

Funny, I actually thought about calling you last night at 11:45 my time. I drank too much tea and couldn't sleep. Next time I will just do it. I would love to chat with you and just hear your thick, country accent again... miss you!

So what is the time difference between 972 and you? Kyle wanted to call the other day and I just didn't have any idea what time it was in Manila. I know Kyle would love to talk to your kids.

Kelley, we are 13 hours ahead of you. If it is 9 am there, it is 10 pm here the same day. If it is 7 pm there, it is 8 am here the next day.

The kids would love to talk to Kyle! We need to call some of their old friends, too.
