Significant other to return call (which will temporarily knock out my so-so DSL connection [uh, one of the points of having DSL is being able to be on the phone and online at the same time, right?])
***Obscure word I like (and will post in hopes of being one of only a few hundred sites to use this word; I Googled it recently):
