worried about Colin

Post by whc03grady » Fri Aug 10, 2012 10:37 am

Colin's 2.5 hours late getting here and I have to confess I'm getting a little concerned. Certainly Chloe isn't that slow.

Does anyone know anything, or have his cell number they'd PM me? (I used to have it but my cell phone history doesn't go back 12 months, apparently.)

Nope. 3+ hours and counting. I'd think if he'd broke down, he'd've called. That's why I'm worried.

At least we have a last-known position for when it's time to send out the search dogs. Hoping we hear from him soon.

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Hopefully Chloe is just being grumpy and he is out of cell range.

good point. all these years and all these visits, it would be easy to mistake what the current date is (done that on plenty of trips myself) or what your next scheduled date may be.
