Our relationship lasted just five text messages

On Wednesday, I sent a shotgun text message about the lunar eclipse to a dozen or so contacts in my phone. One of the recipients was intended to be Nolan Raadt, however I inadvertantly sent the message to his old Kansas phone number instead of his new (actually quite old now) Minnesota number. The following is a transcript of the conversation that followed.

Kyle, 8:25 p.m. - Lunar eclipse currently underway. Check it out if you're not afraid.

"Nolan", 8:26 p.m. - Hi, who is this? :-)

Kyle, 8:28 p.m. - No one you know. Your phone number used to be owned by a kindred spirit named Nolan. Now get your hiney outside and check out that eclipse!

"Nolan", 9:22 p.m. - I've been outside a couple times. Amazing! I'm glad you texted me.

Kyle, 9:23 p.m. - Cool. It got coudy here. Bah.

Then our relationship faded into the shadows, just like the moon...

I was one of the chosen dozen or so who received the lunar elicpse text...and then I promptly forgot about it and missed the whole thing. I'm an idiot.

It was not cloudy here and the scene was tremendous. Excellent post, brother. Do so more often.

You know, if Nolan would only distribute his new digits, this all could have been avoided. Also avoided would be my call to this poor soul this morning - I think I woke her up.

I enjoy being associated with something like this. Shoot Doris Day.
