Wake up call

~6:30 am -- I had just snuggled up to snooze for a few more minutes while my roommate showered when an alarm sounded and a robotic voice began droning, "An emergency has been reported; please use the nearest emergency exit." Great. I pulled on my raincoat and shoes, grabbed my phone and key and headed downstairs.

~Imagine a throng of sleepy Episcopalians--no showers, no coffee, rudely awakened. We were remarkably good natured. Apparently the frenchtoast in the kitchen was burning.

~All back to normal. Time to shower and get ready for the day.

~I would've been in bad shape if it had been a real fire because I neglected to take my computer down with me!

wasn't that just such a wonderful wake-up call? I especially loved that it went off again during the Mass...! Great meeting you this weekend.
