A few weeks ago, possibly in response to the ringing of the phone, I began to sing the words, “Nobody’s home” to the tune of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. I shared the vague memory of a commercial for funny answering machine tapes with Andrea, and when she had no recollection of it, youtube came through in proving I wasn’t losing my mind.
A few thoughts:
- I love CDs and haven’t used a cassette tape in recent memory, but they still have a nostalgic awesomeness to them.
- My mind has an amazing capacity for useless information – why couldn’t the phone ringing remind me of something important or meaningful?
- Youtube is insane – how is it possible that I could find this anywhere but during the recorded commercial breaks on my VHS copy of The Karate Kid?
- Doesn’t 14.95 plus shipping and handling seem a little steep?

Ha!! Andy Sabaka, this is why you are one of my favorite people ever.
Who is to say that this is not meaningful? This made my day, Andy, this is why I am able to come to you and talk to you and share my thoughts with you. For example: I do not think that $14.95 is too steep! Now, if it were $15.00, I would be outraged.
That is all.
