Poor SO

Oct 23, 2008 23:12

He had a tire blow out on the way home tonight. Tried to call me, but of course I had my phone off because of attending talk/reception/dinner. Once I left the restaurant though I did check my phone and called baqck. He feared for a while that he'd have to be towed all the way home, but he does have the doughnut spare in the trunk so the tow guy hopefully will help him get that on and he'll be home by midnight even having to drive slowly on the spare. Which is good, because the alternatives were a very expensive tow, me driving down to pick him up and then back again very early in the AM before work, or him staying in a motel.

The talk was very interesting, I was able to actually ask a question afterward, and both the reception and dinner were also nice (and omg, the dinner was paid for, which like never happens and I certainly didn't expect).

Oh, and sis, the speaker (who's a Big Name in medieval history, mind you) admired my cape. *g*

the ivory tower, auto woes
