[ME Michaud]

I still remember calling one of the nieces (a college student then, a
mother-of-three today).
Much noise in the background.
“Oh, are you having a party?” we asked.
“No, I’m at Union Station,” she replied.

And we had the hardest time getting our heads around the fact that she
answered the phone but she wasn’t at home.
