\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey Susie.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey Mikie.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have a question for you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have this package I want to send Charlie. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m late, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get a hold of Mary, and I need his Deerfield address.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

I can hear Susan mumbling, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Charlie…find my file, find by contents,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d then a laugh, then I laugh because I know she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s using Sherlock on her Mac. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Here it is…but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not his Deerfield address. If you send it to Deerfield in care of Charlie, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure it will get there.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But I know he has an address with his dorm or whatever. He gave it to me once.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also thinking, Charlie…Deerfield and a zip…yeah, sure, that will get to him.<\/p>\n

I hang up and search for his sister Julie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s address. I find a Robert Blake and a Julia Blake, separate listings, same town, and figure that must be the one.<\/p>\n

One ringy dingy, two ringy dingys, three ringy dingys…\u00e2\u20ac\u009dHello.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Julie?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is Michael Miller.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never called Julie, and I think she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be surprised but … .<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hi Michael Miller. I was just mailing a ____(don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to give it away) to Charlie.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What a coincidence.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got his address but not his zip code which I was about to look it up.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What a coincidence. I have ____ that I want to send to Charlie, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find Mary, and I need his address.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I stick the phone in the crook of my neck and get ready to type.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Charlie at Deerfield Academy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\nI passed this portable flashing road sign near Idylwilde last night, and I almost missed the warning flashed after Use Caution.Toto barked in the back seat as I backed up for a second look. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
