old habits die hard

I've been trying relentlessly to get a hold of Dayton, and I have heard such a variety of error-type messages such as "You cannot call the country you are dialing at this time" to strange beeps.

It really has become a game, to guess the error message.

So, what do you think I did when it actually went through this morning and he answered?

I hung up. I wasn't oriented to actually TALK TO HIM - I just wanted to see if I could get through.

Hours of dialing for that? Well, I just hope he knew it was me.
