I was in college.
It was a Friday and it was a beautiful day.
I only had one class that day, Spanish, and I came back to my dorm.
I'd only been gone for a short time, but there were something like seven or eight voicemail messages on my machine.
It was machines back then and that seemed odd right away.
There just seemed like too many, too short of amount of time.
And I hear this, I play back the voicemails and the first one is from my mom saying, miles, we have a problem.
I need you to call your uncle Rayford.
My uncle Rayford is my dad's brother who's in West Texas.
