About Last Night

At 8 p.m. I put Gideon to bed and with Chris away in Miami I figured I'd finally have a long stretch to get some work done. No Tell subs, Bedside Guide layout, a shower perhaps. I was tired and thought it would be best to take a short nap before getting down to business.

At 7:30 a.m. I was woken by the telephone. It was the credit card company checking on the charges Chris was making. I was reminded of two things:

1. If I intend on waking up, set an alarm.
2. If I'm out-of-town being naughty, use cash.

Was it really the credit card company or just scammers?

When I was charging a $280 bill at the vet last week, the credit card company required me to call before it would approve it. It was humbling to have the Bank of America dude go over each and every purchase made that week so I could say, yes I bought that; yes I bought that; yes I charged my $10 lunch; yes I bought that. . . I'm not a criminal, just a little cash poor before payday.

Ah, that's a good one, Al. When Chris gets all angry about the unexplained charges at hourly motels I'll be sure to reply "Nope, not me. Scammers."
