Thirty years ago today
When I came home
from work Judy told me that Charlie had a package for me that "some black
girl" had dropped off and so I went up to get it. It was a bag containing
the records that I'd left at Yvette's place as well as the little shaver that she'd promised me. I thought to myself, "Uh oh!" I immediately called
her and the phone rang three times before I noticed that there was also an
envelope in the bag. I hung up to open it and found inside a pissed off letter
in which she wrote that she couldn't live up to my wild sexual expectations.
She added that as far as she and Jennifer were concerned I couldn't have my
cake and eat it too.
I called Yvette
and she said that I could come over on Friday but I would not be allowed to
spend the night.
That night I went
out with Jennifer. We had planned on going to a movie but stayed on in the bar
instead. She was very good at sticking with the present and not rushing to
catch up with future moments.
We comforted each
other because we'd both had bad days.
