A phone call from Hillsdale

So Hillsdalians will be the only ones who find this funny…

This morning I got a call from the Hillsdale area code…I answered, and the voice on the other end asked if it was Emily and if I was still in bed.  Nope…what mother of a toddler hasn’t been up for hours at 9 am? =)  Anyway, it was Dr. Reist, calling to thank Derek for his Collegian article on the proposed addition of a theology course to the Core.  Yep, I had a nice little morning chat with Reist, who ended the conversation by promising me that next time he’s in Chicago, he’ll give me a call and we’ll go out for a drink while Derek stays home with the kids.  Yep.

    I think the double “Yep” in this post is what really makes it endearing.

    Hey, whoa! (By the way, he did not quack at all during our conversation…)

    You know, I might lose “Preferred Friend” status for admitting this, but it just dawned on me that Tommy’s name is Derek’s middle name. I’m a loser. 🙁

    No way!! That would be quite the wake-up call, if it was one…
