Lacey was fated, so it seemed, to spend most of the morning at work with the phone glued to her ear -- not literally (not this time -- that had been glued to the TV, thank you, and it hadn't been her fault the cable had gotten knocked loose when she happened to be in the middle of a papier-mache crafting activity) but it felt like it might as well be.
Sure, she kept trying to hang up, but Hank kept calling back, all too intent on talking her ear off with his histrionic, half-coherent at best rants about the end of last night's Grey Cup game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Montreal Alouettes. Lacey wished she could actually sympathize more, but she'd had to watch it on a streaming internet feed, and then her internet connection had cut out with ten seconds to play, the Riders up 27-25, and Montreal in possession at 3rd and 6 with 10 seconds left on the clock. By the time she'd gotten her connection back the game was over and she'd found herself looking at Als players dogpiling each other in celebration on the field.
Besides, it was Lacey. All she'd taken away from the game was that it was very exciting, the end had been disappointing, and ouch, didn't all that tackling hurt?
So if she ended up knocking a bunch of Beaver Buzz into the ground beef again, well . . . it was all Hank's fault. Hank and her flakey internet connection's.
