but was not expecting.  I asked if he was visiting someone else in the building, but

apparently not, so that seemed strange  to come that late.

~~ Ed noted that it's strange that I was calling late, but I pointed out that he's

usually not home earlier.  I don't know why he didn't remember that reason.

~~  He mentioned that they're repainting his hallways.  They've all been a dark brown

but now each floor will be a different color.  He said that his will be orange.
