Turns out it was someone I only met once, about 10 years ago. It was my friend Ed's son, calling to tell me Ed passed away last night.
The jerks and the machines making robo calls and endless solicitations are winning. They are turning me into a jerk, too.

Don't feel too bad...you're not alone in having done this. I once hung up on Cindy's cousin Ann, who sounded just like the Ann of robocall (in)fame. "Hi, this is Ann"...
