Dear Brother Dear,

I'm sorry I wasn't in last night to receive your phone call. I was--at the time provided by message--deeply asleep on the reclining couch at the Party House, completely covered by a fleece blanket as I waited for people to finish their loads of laundry. These loads apparently took longer than planned, as we were supposedly going to leave before midnight when I decided to take a "nap" instead of begin studying for my finance test. I don't know what people did for two hours as I slept among them, and I don't care.

I don't know a good time for you to call later this week, sorry,

Sis
