existential angst

I called my folks to see what was up, since they don’t have net access right now. The line got hung up, and Dad, on his end, said, “Are you there?” and I wasn’t! I, on my end, said, “Am I here?”

And I wasn’t!

I said that to Dad when we reconnected, and he started laughing, and then I heard how it sounded, and I started laughing. *laughs more* I seem to be back now, just in case anyone was concerned. :)
