[Conan the Librarian]

My Mom and I would communicate using Arthur Dent.

When I was in college out of town, she always asked me to call and tell her that I arrived safe. I would call “Collect” if all was well and ask to speak to Arthur Dent. As long as all was well, that was enough.

“Do you want me to sit in a corner and rust, or, fall apart where I’m standing?”

That’s a lovely story.
