The United Nations is sending help to Nicaragua, the Knicks have made it to the playoffs, the President's dog is sick, and Susan Sarandon is guest starring on tonight's episode of Third Rock from the Sun. I turn the TV off when People s Court comes on, and listen to Ben Folds in the bathtub. When I leave that night, you are still not home. Thursdays are my night off. It is your day off too, so we usually reserve those nights for joint sleep, movies, rock and roll shows, and fucking.
Tonight is different.
You are at your cousin s, and I have decided to take an extra shift. It is from noon to seven. In between calls, someone calls me Red . Oh, you re not Julie. No, I m not.
