(Text message to Pete Wisdom, sometime early Saturday morning, from a number that, if investigated, is registered to a Sandy Harmon.)

Paul--

Hear there's a kicker of a story in Boston. Headed up there unless you've already got another photog for the coverage. Gimme a ring.

Sandy--

Local talent isn't much to write home about, but we've managed to get someone in place. Enjoy your vacation. You've earned it.

(Some hasty planning, pulled strings, and a trans-continental flight's worth of time later:)

Paul--

Keep telling you to check your phone more often, or you'll miss the good leads. Revised vacation plans, still plan to enjoy. On call if local talent falls through.

Story's wrapped. Heading back to run it by the editor.
