My son’s golf team won the league title today, which is the biggest, best news we’ve had in ages. Mike has been a huge supporter of Carson and his golf, so I just had to call him, even if it meant calling from my car, whose stupid Bluetooth system, combined with my even stupider cellphone, makes actual conversation almost impossible.
Here is the transcript:
Mike: Hello?
Me: Michael! Hi! It’s Sandy!
Mike: Who?
Me: Sandy!
Mike: Hold on. You’re too loud. Who is this?
Me: Sandy! Me! S-A-N-D-Y! Sandy!
Mike: Let me change positions. Now who is this? I can’t understand a word you’re saying.
Me: Mike! It’s Sandy! Carson won! His team won!
(silence)
Mike: Well, God damn!! Sandy? He won? Carson’s team won?
Me: Yes! Finally! Jeez! Yes!
Houston, we have contact! Mike was so happy, I didn’t need to say much more. Other than: “I can’t wait to tell you more details in person.”
