Well, my
records lady dropped off the face of the earth. After she postponed our planned interview, she gave me some times she was available to reschedule, and said that once I responded with my availability, her next e-mail would include a final date for our conference call. I responded promptly, but didn't hear back from her. A couple of the possible dates she gave me passed by, still without a response, so I e-mailed her again. She still hasn't responded to either e-mail.
I can think of two possible explanations. One, she googled me and came upon my blog entry about the recordings and found it offensive, or two, she's dead. Or otherwise incapacitated. The first time she postponed the interview, it was because of a medical situation. Maybe I should keep e-mailing her, but I think I'll just keep hoping she'll get in touch with me if she can/wants to.
Also sucky: I just found out we didn't get the Antiques Roadshow tickets we applied for.
