The back story:  I was in Our Lady of Peace Church in Stratford, CT, this morning for the First Holy Communion of a friend's daughter.   Suddenly my phone starts incessantly vibrating.   I take a surreptitious look at it and see that it was Mike Hopkins .  I am really anxious to call him back because I am wondering why he was calling (Is he leaving SU?  Is he asking my advice about a job?)    But I am in the middle of a crowded second row at a very crowded church during a religious ceremony.    As soon as the service ends,  I  excuse myself to my friends and run out to the parking lot to return the call.

When Mike answers his phone,  he finds it somewhat amusing that I could not answer his call because I had been in church... but then he asks what room Dan is in... because he wants to visit him again with some players.  Knowing Dan had had a recent stay in the ICU,  I had no idea what his new room number was,  so I told Mike I would call him right back.   Then I call Tomcat, praying (yes praying, remember I was in church) that he was not on a golf course with his phone turned off.  Tom answers his phone.. and gives me Dan's room number... which I relay to Mike when I call him back.

An hour later,  I am having lunch at my friends' home following the Communion ceremony, and my phone rings.  It is Mike again.   "Hey, Joyce, I am here in room 5014,  but the woman here is a bit confused because it is the wrong room."    I reply:  "Mike,  I think I told you it was room 5041."    Says Mike: "Okay, thanks."

Since I didn't hear back from Mike,  I assumed he had found Dan.    And Dan's post here confirms that he did!
