Bedtime.
Carol and Jadah are up on the bed, you are in the black chair. Pancakes, bacon and
orange juice for breakfast then the boys played games while adults held a gamut
of short discussions. For lunch you suggested Two Cities Pizza and everyone
enjoyed the new Mason uptown restaurant. You got two pizzas New York style and
Chicago style. Both were excellent. You will return. They headed home Carol
went clothes shopping for Owen and Brennan while you had a nap. Later a drive
to Graeter’s. Paul had noticed three of the four back lights on the Honda had
burned out so you have an appointment at Kings Performance Honda in the
morning. You have to be up at Kim and Paul’s by four to babysit while they go
to a hospital Christmas party, then Kim has the drive to Cleveland for a
business meeting. You will stay until she is home Tuesday, then drive home or
wait until Wednesday morning. – Amorella
2211 hours. Such is life in the fast lane. Keys.
I can’t find either of my car keys. I spent time today looking and have exhausted the probabilities. Tomorrow I
buy a replacement at Honda. The replacement for the Toyota will be a
fortune. It is very unlike me to lose car keys because I am methodical as where
I put them in the house. Sometimes I have left them in a jacket or pants pocket
but this is rare. I checked my clothes, both cars, drawers and everywhere else
I could think of.
Why
don’t you ask me where they might be? – Amorella
2219 hours. Because, Amorella, you are for
writing; you work in writing. I would not really think seriously of asking you
because that would mean . . . well, I am not crazy. Shoot, if that were the
case, I’d ask you what next week lottery numbers will show up. In my mind you
were a gift to help me with my writing nothing else. A person’s mind reality is
not the same as seeing reality with the same mind.
Could
it be you don’t want to know if I am real in that way? – Amorella
2224 hours. No, Amorella. I am comfortable
with you as an inner friend. One does not exploit his friends, well, I don’t.
You lose keys and you pay for the replacements.
