I just got off the phone with him, and it was a little awkward, but mostly he was talking to me like a normal person. We were on the phone for just short of an hour, which I think is more time than we have spent talking to each other about non-R topics than we have spent cumulatively since the bomb! Apparently he decided to go home before calling me back (he was at a coffeehouse), so that was the reason for the delay. Just to get you all off tenterhooks until I can give you all the details...the bottom line is that he found out yesterday morning that he got laid off.
I have to call my mom now so she doesn't think I'm dead and wake up my neighbors to investigate (gotta check in with her every night now that I live alone--what with the suicidal thing and all). I will be back with an update as soon as I get off the phone with her (brace yourself...she will undoubtedly go into serious "worried mom" mode when I tell her what's going on, so it could be a while before I get her calmed down...).
Stay tuned for the next episode of "As the MLCer Spins"...
Peace, Dawn
