You mean with his time phone? Why doesn't he just use
his time car instead? Or is time gas more expensive going
back in time? Does his phone minutes increase during
this call to the past?

Unlike Dr. Who, who can make time calls from his phone booth, he got back
into his time cart to make the call then, just before he was leaving, with
his cell phone. His time car is a time cart carried about in a VW camper.
It was much easier to step into the cart and make a call, than than to
transport mas backwards in time.

to the time just before he's leaving for the meeting. He
picks up the phone

And hears himself on the other end. So now there's two of
these 'men'? Talking to each other at the same moment
from different places while at two different times
(future and past)? A bit schizo wouldn't you say?

One eternal of acquaintance, set his time travel backwards at the speed of
time, thus never aging.

then and is told, "I've forgotten to bring the Time
Contract. Put it in the brief case now, before you leave."

Hearing voices from the future now.

No, the call was taken at present past time.

Riddle of the day. Why did he call home?

To find his sanity I would think

He called to remind himself to bring the Time Contract
and, as instructed, he put the contract in the brief.
Thusly it arrived with him in the brief case. So why
did he call? Because if he hadn't, he wouldn't have
remembered to bring it.
