I wonder if that may be a bit of a throwback, though. Today I received as many calls as I had the werewithal to attend to- and there were many more than that coming in. When I spent three months on the island of Crete (very near the labyrinth at Knossos-- the Minoan labyrinth), I had a conversation with my parents, during which my dad said to me, "what if you get the call?" This was cited as a reason not to do this outlandish act that involved dropping out of school and priveledging a relationship with a person I had met only three months previously. I needed to answer, "I GOT the call, dad." And then he probably would have been satisfied. There is something nostalgically appealing about a call so primal that it drowns out all the rest.
