That's it. I'm e-mailing Cisco Gene. He's gotta get a load of this guy, maybe learn a thing or two.
Blurt, why have I always really liked you? I mean, if someone were to describe you to me I'd be certain that I'd not be at all taken by you yet here I am, smitten once again... What's going on with you? I'd even take advice from you on some of lifes rather important things and actually act on it, now that's high praise indeed sooo what's up with you?
Aw, Shamp, that's so sweet!
I'm doing all right, thanks for asking. Took me a while but I'm finally settling back into work after a two-year hiatus. While I was gone, fourteen of our tenants died--one from sepsis, one from COVID, and twelve from drug poisoning (what they used to call "drug overdose").
Hmmm... let's see... what else is new? Oh yeah, one of my colleagues had a surprise for me last week. As I was coming on shift and just before she was due to go off shift, she led me to the staff room where a series of tiny pots of hair dye was waiting for me. She dyed my silver hair blue. (To be honest, though, it looks more like silver-blue than, I don't know, SJW blue.)
I told her, "Let's do this! It's been a while since I've knelt before a woman."
Other than that, not much happening. I still enjoy taking walks along the cliffs overlooking the ocean or along the beach itself. These days I bring my parasol and some sliced Manchego and biscotti for a nibble pause. I also like to bike along the Galloping Goose trail, scattering geese and raccoons and deer before me as I giggle gaily, free spirit that I am.
Sometimes, I watch the talking heads on YouTube, sometimes I play a gripping, narrative-driven game on Xbox. At other times, I recline in my sensuously downy bed and flick my bean while fantasizing about, well... that's for me to know and for you to never find out.
