Holmedown, it was the least I could do for you dashing around trying to find a SIM for my before your flight. While Lao Sze Chaun has the atmosphere of a meeting room at a Super 8 in rural Iowa, the food is very good. We have to do a Chinatown dinner when it's not the middle of winter!

It turns out I didn't have any messages at all on the new SIM. 2 Messages meant "press 2 for the messages menu." Hopefully the call back to voicemail was free, or else I probably blew half the SIM value! But I did try calling the phone from home and it rang, so it seems to be working.

And yes, he could have joined us if he had really wanted to be there. Fool has priorities beyond FT and food, that's not my problem.
