Second Day

In which things are done and more things are done…

As was now customary for OLeif’s Tuesdays and Fridays (class days), he was off by five.

In the early afternoon around chicken salad for lunch, there was continued communication with Rose regarding: roommates (a friend had forwarded a note to the seminary looking into possibilities), apartments, and updates on the cat in Louisville.

During Collette’s walk, during which Puck knew she often ‘talked to God’, he turned down the volume of his self-inflicted five-times-listened-through-entirely-that-day-already ‘Big Music’ (Renaissance pomp)…
“I turned it down so God could hear you, Mama.”

There was never time to be bored.

A&E’s 2004 version of Agatha Christie’s Poirot: Death on the Nile. Never much of a hand at guessing correctly on who-dun-its, Collette surprised herself, and finally did so.

When OLeif returned shortly after five, Puck joined him in the garage to change the oil in the bike, which… turned into a rather length two-hour endeavor. Broken tools. The wrong kind of oil, etc. After all the fiasco, he arose victorious, and returned with a King Sized Reeses.
And some more of the rather obscure South African: Wild at Heart.
