I've spent most of this morning walking in the rain. I woke up around 8:00, and finally got out bed around 9:15. I headed over to Julie's for breakfast. A very good breakfast, and some wonderful hosts/owners - a very hospitable Greek couple. After breakfast, I walked around umbrella in hand just checking out the various storefronts near campus. Nothing major, but some kitschy stuff. -I would have taken pics, but my rechargeable batteries in my digital camera finally bit the dust. Ah, well.
Then once I returned to my dorm room, I organized some stuff, and checked my voice mail back home.
I had some good calls - more bookings for gigs - and I had a couple of call from my bank asking me to contact them as soon as possibe. Uh-oh...
It turns out that my check card number was one of those numbers that was "stolen" a few weeks ago. So, they closed my account LAST week, and have been trying to mail me notices regarding the change in status of my account. But since I've been having my mail forwarded, and official bank mail cannot be forwarded... Once their central office got my mail back, they called me personally. Pretty good customer service.
Now, the truly weird thing - and lucky thing - is that I've been weaning myself away from that account since it's based in Richmond. I've had no checks floating, no auto-payments in process, etc., in over the past two weeks, and I've been using my check card and checks for my new "New York" account. Whew! And once I head back to Richmond on Monday, I'll take care of any necessary paperwork in person.
Again - Whew!
