Thanks for the update and denouement. I shared in your excitement all weekend (I have no life)...stick to your guns and keep the message on your machine...
btw, "Who is Adina?" is a great title for a story.
After a lenghty pause filled with apprehension she piped up. "I am."
I've got an autographed business card from Dizzy Gillespie. When I was about ten my family were flying back from Ireland to Teesside Airport (a regional airport in the NE of England). My dad spotted him and went to have a 'chat'. He even blew his cheeks out for us!
As a 10-year-old I was at the next urinal to Tony Greig at the Sydney Airport.
A drunken thefoxboy stood between a drunken Stephen 'Sticks' Kernahan and John 'The Rat' Platten at a niteclub urinal in the 80's. They were out celebrating the big win that SA had over WA in the state of origin game.
They asked me some advice and they got me a drink for the info I gave them.
