In Harvard Yard I Sawr a Stah
so i parked my car in harvard square and walked to the shopping
mall. i saw audrey in the carpet store. she was walking her dog
and her dog spot made a spot on some mauve wall to wall carpeting.
paul was appalled. he said if she didn't buy all fortyfour yards
he would bop her on the jaw. it was awful. she said sorry. so we
went to the coffeeshop and we each got a large coffee. and a garden
salad with olives, artichoke hearts, sausage and parsley. i dropped
my fork on the floor. the maitre'd came over and i apologized a
lot. so we went to play golf. there were fourteen holes in all.
and four ponds. we rented a golfcart and drove it all over. it was
marvelous. i scored four under par. so we went to the bar and audrey
bought me a bottle of sharps. normally i only drink water. my body
can't tolerate alcohol but i adore the carbonation and the flavor
of fermented hops. audrey had a margarita. we saw laura there. she
had just brought don in from baldwin new york. she was drinking
a tom collins in a tall glass. we talked politics for hours. until
four. laura told us about the time her condo on long island got
robbed. then it was time for her seminar. and i was on call at the
hospital in a quarter hour. audrey said it was alright, solitude
was tolerable. so we all walked to my car. so then i realized it
was fathers day. i forgot. i'm my father's favorite daughter so
i went to a shop and bought a hallmark card for a dollar and a quarter.
it had a drawing of garfield and an envelope. so i went home to
shower, wash and floss. then i did laundry. i washed a load of scarves
with warm water and clorox. i was out of coughdrops so i had a lozenge.
so i needed some swampwater for my bong so i walked down to the
bog and saw a frog sitting on a log. i thought it was a polligog.
so i thought: we have four days before the performance. we should
start rehearsing. i bought all the props and costumes from the costume
and prop shop.
boston is awesome.
