cache.get('a',function(err,key,value,ttl){
  if(err == 'halfexpired') {
    // stop it from being half expired.
    cache.set(key,value,ttl);
    request(url,function(err,data){
      if(err) console.log('that flakey api failed again! good thing my value is not completely expired ;)');
      else cache.set(key,value,ttl);
    })
  }
});
