tattling

sometimes there are hazards to being a wordnerd. in this case, it was fielding a late-night phone call (it was not "like 11, you should be awake!" it was midnight) from an inebriated relative wanting to know the author of dr jekyll and mr hyde. in my groggy, still asleep state, i mumbled "robert louis stevenson? who is this?" thinking maybe it was some sort of insane prank call (it wasn't, it was just my brother). after the being-woken-up-by-the-phone adrenaline wore off, i lay in bed wondering if i was right about the author, and maybe i should just get up to check on amazon . . . so it took a little while to fall back to sleep.

i am pleased to note that, upon a first-thing-in-the-morning glance, i was right! i don't know how i pulled that one out of my sleep-soaked brain, but there you go. phil, i hope it helped with whatever you were doing--and at midnight, shouldn't you have been in bed? :)
