Waking up one morning to find more than a dozen missed calls on his phone would make anyone see red. He wanted to know why those people had chosen to hold a meeting while he was out of town on a shoot.
A longtime friend happened to call.
"Did you do that on purpose?" he said. "I'm still in Kyoto."
"You don't dare ask the boss, so you're taking it out on me?"
"Because you're the only one who's been doggedly calling me."
"The only one?" came the amused reply.
That's right.
