Memories that come out of nowhere always seem surreal, regardless of how mundane they actually were. Last night I watched Jon Stewart’s telethon and a bolt of lightning thumped my foggy brain. Telethon…telephone…that seems familiar. Oh! I once answered phones for a local PBS telethon. Local groups volunteered for 2 hour slots and I worked the slot sponsored by, oh man, I can’t believe I actually did this, the Doctor Who Society. Must hide in shame from the geekiness of it all.
Yeah, thats pretty severe geek.
I remember watching a telethon in the Doctor Who prime and if you donated a significant amount (more than I had) I would have gotten a Tom Baker Doctor Who scarf … I wanted that scarf so bad …
