Well, That Was Surreal….

Just now the phone rang. I picked it up and said, “Hello?” and a woman, her voice speakerphone-distant, replied, “Yes, is this Alaska?”

Before I could recover and say anything at all, she said, “Sorry, I must have the wrong number.” and hung up.

“Is this Alaska”; the airline? The state? The dessert? The mind reels.

What I wouldn’t give to have another shot at that conversation. I’d tell her, “Sorry, no, this is the Republic of Samoa. Care for a coconut?”
