I’ll be your date. I’ve not been to Hallahan’s, how dressed up do we get, like your work clothes right cuz that’s what everyone else will be wearing? Let’s plan on cruising jewelry stores after work tomorrow.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>… sip my drink while she answers … now the news …</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“So I called the movers and they’ll be by on Saturday to empty out the bedroom and put it in storage and then go get yours and put it in. They’ll be at the condo around nine so we can’t sleep in until Sunday, but that’s no good either because …”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>… sip of my drink …</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Mother and Daddy are flying into Logan Saturday afternoon.

And Aunt Becky has the pictures and her private investigator has the tutu guy safely stashed away at great expense while she negotiates with Uncle Joel and a Boston Globe reporter is already sniffing around the edges. Daddy is coming up to help write the terms of the divorce and Mother is coming to take Uncle Joel out back and box his ears. Daddy is going back on Monday after talking the terms over with Aunt Becky’s attorney because he’s not licensed in Mass and Mother will come stay with us for a few days and you get to drive her around town and submit to her grilling and help take care of Aunt Becky who’s a wreck but in a livid rage and she’ll drink too much if someone isn’t there with her.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>… thud and double thud … I reach over and close her mouth …</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Dear, keep it open any longer and you’ll be catching flies.

She’ll turn on you and you won’t know what hit you!”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>…  good giggles all around …</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Actually, Chloe Rulez sells you to the Grad School as a Contractor Lab Assistant and then you’re assigned to my lab.
