title: Knock before you enter.
abstract: Early on Christmas morning I am suddenly awakened by the high-pitched sound of my pager. It screeches like a smoke alarm, piercing right through to my bones. Although I have become accustomed to the sound, I still feel disoriented when roused from my sleep, and for a moment, feel entirely disoriented.
