After the Tate Lecture

After the Tate Lecture series as Ben drops me off at my place I hear an alarm going off. I am thinking in my head, gee I wonder if that is coming from my place. Just as I think that and was trying to find the gate opener for the gate my Dad calls and asks what the alarm code is. I am trying to tell him and finally say that I will be there in a minute. So I walk up and they are trying to figure it out and who pushed what. I go up and press the reset button and then show my dad how to turn the alarm off and the importance of pushing the ENTER button. Then my parents leave and I get a call from my dad two seconds after they pull out to say the cops were there. So, as he says that the door bell rings. I hung up and answered the door. The cop asked me if everything was ok and I told him that I was fine and that my parents had set off the alarm and with that he left. It did make me feel safe that he came. I am not sure if they called since I might not have been there to get the call in the first place. So that is my funny story to end a great evening full of fun and excitement.
