Important Phone Call

Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Jason

I got a call on my cell phone from a number in India that I didn’t recognize so I let it go to voice mail. Maybe I should have answered? Google voice transcribed the beginning of the message like this: “Hi Jason, My name is Al Gore that I’m calling from catch up on that. I’m just calling regarding…”
