“Do you think we should shut down too?” Kevin asked.

“Yeah, probably.” I said as I opened the windows and shut off the engine. Kevin squirmed a little bit, but was trying to tough it out.

“Want to try calling your mom?” I asked. “If I’m figuring right, it’s about 4:00 in London. She said she’d be home in the afternoon. Want to give it a shot?”

“Yeah! Good idea!” Kevin replied.

I took out my iphone which I had programmed with Terri’s number and handed it to Kevin. “She’s number 1 on the speed dial,” I said.

Kevin took the phone, said thanks, and in a few moments was talking to his mom half way around the world. I still find this amazing.
