A couple months ago the doorbell began ringing once or twice a day when no one was at the button. Disconcerting. I'd jump up from the Big Bue Chair or run down from my office - no one. Replaced the itty bitty battery, still. Couldn't tie it to cars driving by, phases of the moon, Bush malaprops, nothing. Two weeks ago I unplugged the plug-in annunciator and took the battery activated button off the wall outside the front door; let 'em knock.
Today, I'm in the BBC, ruminating through the Times, K is upstairs, arranging stuff or whatever, and the garage door goes up. Spooky. Don't ask about the beeping.
