"Is she the lady you come out with in the @@@@@ "Is she the lady you come out with in the mornings? The one in the wheelchair?" "Indeed she is And without thinking much about what I was saying - it was her enormous blue sneakers propped up on the chrome footrests of her wheelchair I was thinking about - I said: "The Bride of the Godfather Wireman gaped, those green eyes of his so wide I was about to apologize for my faux pasThen he really began to laughIt was the kind of ballsto- the-wall bellowing you give out on those rare occasions when something sneaks past all your defenses and gets to the sweet spot of your funnyboneI mean the man was busting a gut, and when he saw I didn't have the slightest idea what had gotten him, he laughed even harder, his not 216 inconsiderable belly heavingHe tried to put his glass back on the little table and missedThe glass plummeted straight down to the sand and stuck there, perfectly upright, like a cigarettebutt in one of those urns of sand you used to see beside the elevators in hotel lobbiesThat struck him even funnier, and he pointed at it "I couldn't have done that if I was trying!" he managed, and then was off again, gale upon gale, heaving in his chair, one hand clutching his stomach, the other planted on his chestA snatch of poetry read in high school, over thirty years before, suddenly came back to me with haunting clarity: Men do not sham convulsion, Nor simulate a throe I was smiling myself, smiling and chuckling, because that kind of high hilarity is catching, even when you don't know what the joke isAnd the glass falling that way, with every drop of Wireman's tea staying inside Like a gag in a Road Runner cartoonBut the plummeting glass hadn't been the source of Wireman's hilarityI mean I'm sorry if I-" 217 "She sort of is!" Wireman cried, cackling so crazily he was almost incoherent"She sort of is, that's the thing! Only it's daughter, of course, she's The Daughter of the Godfa-" But he had been rocking from side to side as well as up and down - no sham, authentic throe - and that was when his beach chair finally gave up the ghost with a loud crrrack, first snapping him forward with an extremely comical look of surprise on his face and then spilling him onto the sand One of his flailing arms caught the post of the umbrella and upended the tableA gust of wind caught the umbrella, puffed it like a sail, and began to drag the table down the beachWhat got me laughing wasn't the bug-eyed look of amazement on Wireman's face when his disintegrating beach chair tried to clamp on him like a striped jaw, nor his sudden barrel-roll onto the sandIt wasn't even the sight of that table trying to escape, tugged by its own umbrellaIt was Wireman's glass, still standing placidly upright between the sprawling man's side and left arm Acme Iced Tea Company, I thought, still stuck on those old Road Runner cartoonsMeep-meep! And 218 that, of course, made me think of the crane that had done the damage, the one with the fucked-up beeper that hadn't beeped, and all at once I saw myself as Wile ECoyote in the cab of my disintegrating pickup truck, eyes bugged in bewilderment, frazzled ears sticking off in two opposite directions and maybe smoking a little at the tip | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 10:22 pm |

lure of the empty desert sky, @@@@@Or held the lure of the empty desert sky, which I'd seen only in Melanie's memories Melanie did not share her opinion on my optionsShe had been very quiet since my decision to find Fords Deep Waters, my first HealerI wasn't sure what the detachment meantWas she trying to seem less dangerous, less of a burden? Was she preparing herself for the invasion of the Seeker? For death? Or was she preparing to fight me? To try to take over? Whatever her plan, she kept herself distantShe was just a faint, watchful presence in the back of my head I made my last trip inside, searching for anything forgottenThe apartment looked emptyThere were only the basic furnishings that had been left by the last tenantThe same plates were still in the cupboards, the pillows on the bed, the lamps on the tables; if I didn't come back, there would be little for the next tenant to clear out The phone rang as I was stepping out the door, and I turned back to get it, but I was too late I'd already set the message system to answer on the first ringI knew what the caller would hear: my vague explanation that I would be out the rest of the semester, and that my classes would be canceled until a replacement could be foundI looked at the clock on top of the televisionIt was barely past eight in the morningI was sure it must be Curt on the phone, having just received the only slightly more detailed e-mail I'd sent him late last nightI felt guilty about not finishing out my commitment to him, almost like I was already skippingPerhaps this step, this quitting, was the prelude to my next decision, my greater shameThe thought was uncomfortableIt made me unwilling to listen to whatever the message said, though I wasn't in any real hurry to leave I looked around the empty apartment one more timeThere was no sense of leaving anything behind me, no fondness for these roomsI had the strange feeling that this world–not just Melanie, but the entire orb of the planet–did not want me, no matter how much I wanteditI just couldn't seem to get my roots inI smiled wryly at the thought of roots | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 10:32 pm |

@@@@@By the bye, Flora Ross was
dying for Henry @@@@@By the bye, Flora Ross was dying for Henry the first winter she came outBut were I to attempt to tell you of all the women whom I have known to be in love with him, I should never have doneIt is you, only you, insensible Fanny, who can think of him with anything like indifferenceBut are you so insensible as you profess yourself? No, no, I see you are not There was, indeed, so deep a blush over Fanny’s face at that moment as might warrant strong suspicion in a predisposed mind “Excellent creature! I will not tease youEverything shall take its courseBut, dear Fanny, you must allow that you were not so absolutely unprepared to have the question asked as your cousin fancies It is not possible but that you must have had some thoughts on the subject, some surmises as to what might beYou must have seen that he was trying to please you by every attention in his power Was not he devoted to you at the ball? And then before the ball, the necklace! Oh! you received it just as it was meantYou were as conscious as heart could desireI remember it perfectly “Do you mean, then, that your brother knew of the necklace beforehand? Oh! Miss Crawford, that was not fair “Knew of it! It was his own doing entirely, his own thoughtI am ashamed to say that it had never entered my head, but I was delighted to act on his proposal for both your sakes “I will not say,” replied Fanny, “that I was not half afraid at the time of its being so, for there was something in your look that frightened me, but not at first; I was as unsuspicious of it at first—indeed, indeed I wasIt is as true as that I sit hereAnd had I had an idea of it, nothing should have induced me to accept the necklace As to your brother’s behaviour, certainly I was sensible of a particu315 Jane Austen larity: I had been sensible of it some little time, perhaps two or three weeks; but then I considered it as meaning nothing: I put it down as simply being his way, and was as far from supposing as from wishing him to have any serious thoughts of meI had not, Miss Crawford, been an inattentive observer of what was passing between him and some part of this family in the summer and autumnI was quiet, but I was not blindI could not but see that MrCrawford allowed himself in gallantries which did mean nothing “Ah!

@@@@@We been t'rough a lot, our nerves are up in @@@@@We been t'rough a lot, our nerves are up in the air "Yeah, I guess you did have a rough go"Tomorrow they'll have our ass out on patrol, you watch "It's only mopping up "Where do ya get that stuff, moppin' up?" The pilot looked at him"Jesus, I forgot you men were out on patrol for six daysHell, man, the whole fuggin campaign blew sky highIn another week there won't be but ten Japs leftWe got their supply dumpWe're slaughtering themI saw that Toyaku Line myself yesterdayThey had concrete machine-gun emplacements"The whole thing's over, huh?" "Just about "And we broke our ass for nothin' Polack climbed down after a while and told the menIt all seemed perfectly fitting to themThey laughed sourly, turned over in their bunks, and stared at the side bulkheadBut soon they realized that if the campaign was over they would be out of combat for a few months at leastIt confused them, irritated them, they didn't know whether the news pleased them or notThe patrol should have been worth somethingIn their fatigue this conflict brought them close to hysteria and then shifted them over to mirth "Hey, you know," Wyman piped, "before we went I heard a rumor they're going to send the division to Australia to make MPs out of us"Wyman, they're sendin' us home "Recon's gonna be personal bodyguard for the General "MacArthur is gonna have us build him another house at Holla |
