**A memory**

I was IM'ing with an old student who was still in bed at 10 am!!, and was reminded of a story about my father, who passed away about 20 years ago at the tender age of 55.

When I was in college my dad used to call me at 7 am on Sat. mornings and say, "Why aren't you up studying?" So one Saturday, when he called at 7 am, I had a guy friend answer the phone.

He never called that early again.

I miss that man everyday.

That's funny... My Dad (yes, your brother!) would totally do the same thing. Guess that rubbed off a little in the upbringing. Never thought to have a guy answer the phone, except I don't think it would've put my dad off like it did for Grandpa..

That was too funny! Guess there's more than one way to skin a cat.
