it's easier to belittle someone else's life

I received a phone call the other night. It's not that unusual. It was about three A.M. Parker and I were settling into our respective sleeping bags at Miles' house in Columbus, OH, when I start vibrating. Immediately excited and curious about who this mystery caller could be at this gnarly hour, I shake off my bag and search my pockets for the phone. "hmmm...I have never seen this number before" so I decided to not answer it and if it is really important they will leave a message. Two minutes later: "I guess it must be important..."
...and boy is it ever! albeit not to me but I guess "Morgan" probably would like to know that he has a restraining order on him. "Megan's Dad" seems pretty insistent about keeping these two (lovers?) apart. I speculate either Megan is 13 and Morgan has been buying her beer or Megan is 14 and Morgan is her "Baby Daddy" to be. either way the two will not be seeing each other anytime soon.
