I’m calling my mom later today via Skype. Skype to landline, I mean. But as usual, I’ll have to ask the people at her assisted living facility to make her pick up the phone. She never answers when I call directly, and she won’t call me on the cell. “Why don’t you answer when I call?,” I’ve asked. “Because I don’t feel like it,” she’s said more than once.
