A woman just called me. She meant to call a pharmacy.
We talked for 15 minutes. I stayed on the phone with her because as soon as I told her it was the wrong number, she paused and then asked me this:
"You ever had Shingles?" Why on earth would I not want to hear a bit more from her?! And thank goodness I told her my name so I could hear it many times. Sound is tough and so are the lower 3rds. Such is life. Sometimes reality has some technical glitches in it. ...and shingles too apparently.

That was lovely! On a technical note: did you record off the phone line, or did you just hold the camera mic close to the phone?

just held the camera up close.

That was great. Sometimes people just need to talk to someone. I wonder what her story is - besides the shingles, of course. It was sweet of you not to hang up. :)
