The Hot Tub

Hi Tom!

 

Of course you show up just as I'm leaving to go to lunch.

I'll be back in an hour though.

 

Yeah, sure. Nice talking to you too.

 

Hello!

 

Good day! I see you've got your old colours back.

 

Yep.

I've just been organizing the shelves a bit. I'm starting to get a headache though. What have you been up to?

 

Man! You won't believe it: I have a headache, too! I woke up with one, then it faded, a few hours ago it returned. Amazing, we've really got headaches on the same days.

I went to my brother's house today to welcome an Apple Mac hop-on-my-thumb. My brother's in Brussels right now, apparently doing important stuff, so I had to take care of the guy. He had a very high little voice, "Oh, hello, mister Dekker."

 

Man, I just had to go outside and get some air, my head's pounding. But it sounds like you had an interesting day... exactly what happened?

 

Well, my brother works for a bank, he's head of the technical department. This guy was from Apple Computers, and he had to deliver some new video and sound cards for my brother to test or install. I'm not exactly sure, I just took the stuff and gave him coffee.

My brother had a list with the things the guy had to have, so I checked that, and it was complete.

 

Aha! I had envisioned you entertaing some mobster-like character, you know like taking him out on the town, introducing him to some people... that sort of thing.

Just my imagination getting the better of me as usual.

 

LOL.

"'Ey, Vinnie, my brother ain't a bad guy, ya know? Ya gotta give 'im some time, ya know? He got the goods, ya know, don't worry, OK?"

 

Exactly!

"Now, let me introduce you to some people... This guy here can hook you up with anything you need, you name it. You need a gun, you come and talk to Benny the Mooch..."

 

Hehe. I visited him once at the bank, and there were a couple of those dodgy goodfellas walking around.

 

Hmmm, very interesting.

 

"I'm gonna get the paper, get the paper..."



A pity that Meg is gone, eh?

 

It is, it's enough to make you want to break into the radio station for a spontaneous edition of "Afternoon Delight".

 

We could spin a couple of 45s...

 

Alright, you kick it off.

 

I'll do a new thread. We could call it "Afternoon Delight -- The Meg Edition".

 

Ooh, I like it.

 

I liked it, too!

 

Yeah, that was a blast.

So what's new today?

 

Not much, really. It has been raining all day.

You?

 

Nothing happening here either.

It's been a very slow day at work. I went out to lunch with Laurie and the babe, that was nice.

 

Sweet.

I see I'm going to be interviewing you.
