I've been busy.

Sorry for the hiatus. I have been busy. But today I did something unusual- I bought a large fry at Burger King. I never buy a set of fries, let alone a large fry, but I did today. Reminds me of a story. I was going to pick up Good Time Charlie, the captain of the Tuna Helper. We were going to see a show. The following is the verbatim transcript of the cell phone conversation we had as I drove over to pick him up:

PAL: Sorry I'm late. I'm on the road. I'll be there in 20 minutes.

GTC: It's OK. I was just finishing supper.

PAL: I feel like a lesbian. I am driving a Volvo and listening to Sinead O'Connor.

GTC: You might be a lesbian.

PAL: Know what I had for supper?

GTC: Something awful, I'll bet.

PAL: Steamed beets and carrots.

GTC: I had the same thing, and by the same thing, I mean Fluffernutter and lemonade.

PAL: I'll call when I'm downstairs.

I am redeemed by the fact that I had 4 whiskeys and smoked a cigarillo during the course of the evening, thus purging any lesbianicity.

The only redeeming thing here is that I had 4 whiskeys and smoked a cigarillo during the course of the evening, thus purging any lesbianicity.
