A while back, I got a voicemail from a young woman babbling about detox. She addressed me by name and sounded pretty distraught, so I called her back and then called the police in case she was suicidal. Then I forgot about her, assuming she must have dialed my number by mistake, or gobbled a bottle of pills and punched random numbers

"Ah, this is Leah, if you could not call here again, that'd be grand. Tanks very much and god bless."

If you hear anything about how Twelve Monkeys weren't the real enemy don't hesitate to let us all know, ok?

Damned Terry Gilliam.

didn't you get a call like that awhile ago, too? i seem to remember you ELJAYYYYYYING about it. unless i was from the future, too.

yes! that's what I was referencing in this post, too. because the first time it happened, it was all isolated and random and I thought, "WOW, maybe I was put on earth to PROTECT her and we have a spiritual CONNECTION. good thing I took the time to call the police and then forget about it."
but now everybody calls, so I guess it's just a misprinted clinic number. oh well.

"A while back..." for some reason i missed that opener there. ooops. anyway, it's too about how reality is always so much more boring than what we sometimes imagine it to be.

Tulum Rocks! Went there twice last year. Smear on the sunscreen and warm up your tequila senses.

I wonder what the weather's like in December, or if it's just tequila season year round.

I went in March and April (separated by 11 months not right after each other) and it was plenty warm. I'd say it is humid in December. A website says it is 76 F in December http://www.cometocozumel.com/english/sub/about-weather.asp but I don't know how accurate it is.

You will have a great time. Hydrate during year round tequila season.

A while back, a guy with an Irish accent was calling me for a few days, sounding pretty peeved that his wife or somebody wasn't returning his calls. So, I changed my answering machine message to, "hi. This is Clark; leave a message. If you're the Irish Guy, here's something just for you...." followed by about 30 seconds of a recording of The Regimental Band Of The Irish Guards playing the St Patrick's Day march. When I came back home and checked my answering machine, I had three messages: the first was, "Yeah, it's the Irish Guy!! [uncontrollable laughter]" The second was, "[sounds of a bar, and much laughter]." And the third was my boss.

That's an awesome story. Maybe I should add the St. Patrick's Day march to my voicemail greeting.
