He lives near Half Moon Bay, Calif., and now that he is retired, he usually rests in bed until 10:30 or 11.
I suspected he no longer remembered how to set an alarm, and I couldn’t stop myself from asking him.
“I don’t need an alarm!” he bellowed.
And so I set mine for 10:30 a.m. my time, 7:30 a.m. his, to allow him a fat hour and a half to get ready.
When the bells startled the silence of my office the next day, I called him, and he sent me to voice mail.
