Hi SFO, There are two reasons I left a message. 1) She spends most of her time in the community not at the office 2) Because there is a professional connection and I wanted her to have time to think about whether she wanted to do this or not. I didn't want her to feel put on the spot with a surprise phone call and be rushed to give an answer. Anyway I had a feeling she would be someone who would return the call either way and she did. So, I have no regrets. I'm quite OK with how it turned out. Hey, you meet someone you like, you have a good rapport, there's little or no downside to asking then why not give it a shot! For years I'd sit there thinking "what if..." calculating the bad things that could happen. Sometimes I think God puts people in your path, you let them pass by and He's up there saying "Hey, what more do you want from me?!" So I acted on an opportunity. I'm cool with how it turned out. Have a safe trip back! They said it snowed in TO yesterday morning but I didn't see any.
