Tone Twilight Zone

One of my weirder experiences tree planting was one of the e-mails that I received when I got back. It was from my lady friend from Japan, Miwa. She had e-mailed and told me that I had phoned her while I was tree planting and wanted to thank me for the phone call. This is odd for a couple of reasons. First of all, I had no access to telephones while I was planting trees. This makes it pretty much impossible as it is to talk to her. Secondly, even if I did have telephone access, she never gave me her telephone number. Thirdly, assuming that I *did* call her, using my cell, there was no signal where I was, and, even if I did have signal, I have to contact Rogers before I makes calls overseas lest someone has stolen my cell. So yeah, it was pretty disconcerting. I'm almost of the opinion that there's a Rob from a parallel universe. It's *very* weird. That said, judging from her sheer joy in the e-mail, she was pleased as punch that I called. Today, Miwako returned the favour and called me this morning. It was great to hear her trademarke "Harro, Rob!" once again and catch up on each other's lives, despite me not having called her before. Her birthday is coming up soon, which means I'll have to give her a phone call. For real, this time
