Dad's wife calls me and leaves me a voice mail that only says "call me back as soon as possible" in a way too even voice. I listen to the message twice and call her back. Pops is out deer hunting and I wonder what fucking calamity went down? I mean it wasn't that long ago where he busted his foot up with that deer-stand accident and all. Was he in an accident? A wreck? Shot? Lost a bare knuckle brawl with a deer? Was ill? Injured? Aaaaawhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Nope.. just their house lost power last night and the furnace was out. She wanted to know if I could text Pops for a furnace repairman recommendation and he wasn't picking up his cell.. You know, because maybe (if he is in a dead spot) a text would work better.

*aaaaaaaaaand exhale*

Fucking a.
