4 AM Phone Calls

On Superbowl Sunday evening, we called the school in Thailand to let them know we had made our decision. The headmaster of the school was not in, as he was chaperoning a field trip that his daughter was on. Mike left a message with his adminstrative assistant. She asked if it would be okay for him to call him at 5 or 6 pm that night. Mike calculated the time difference backwards... it is a 13 hour time difference, and so he thought it would be 6 or 7 AM Minnesotan time. Sure! He would be awake at 6 or 7! It was actually going to be 4 or 5 AM though. So at 4:20 on Monday morning we received a phone call, and in his sleepy state of being, Mike accepted our job offers. It's official now.
