he usually likes to have his say . . but sometimes it is better to let people speak for themselves

"He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring," the former White House official told (Jonathan) Karl. "He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in the nation, and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy, and the rule of law."

I heard something I hadnt heard before  Maybe you have

I’m all ears, though by your expression should I sit down?

No Thas not necessary

                          Im bemused Id have thought with all my experience tha Id have noticed

Still, quite an expression, maybe I ought to take a picture so you can see.

No you don I can feel it  Ya know I don like photos taken of me

You did when you were younger.

Thawas transactional I was making money Since I walked away its been sorry Madonna  aint strikin a pose

I’ve seen pictures . .

. . They were candid  I happened to be in the field

You’re no fun.

Maybe this will strike you funny

                                   Bemused  No   Actually Im astonished

Astonished?

             You?

Yah me Astonished

Tell me

Think Ill ask

Ask me.

Are you familiar with breasts being dense  Or for tha matter less dense

Dense breasts?

Yah

       Id say virtually all the girls an women Ive been with have had similar breastsya know  breast size cup size  Dense Weight   Waterballoonish firm

                                             I don know  But I learned last night its a thing

I don’t even know what that means.

Yah

      Only thing tha crosses my mind is tha they hold their shape as a woman gets older  Gravity takes the backseat for the immediate future

I guess that would make sense.

Maybe less fatty tissue

                            Less jiggle

Ooh. 

Wha

I like jiggles.

I don know Im guessing

You don’t like jiggle?

Its fine  though as Ive been thinkinbout it   Id say  nearly all the women Ive been with have been athletes remained athletic

          Not manyif any tha I recall   were jigglers  

Were heavers

   I’d juggle jigglers.

Looks like somethings got your dabber down.

   Thawas astute You surprised me

his face went a little slack

                              I . . surprised you?

Yah  scratched his earlobe with a fingernail Yes  Youre rarely astutehence  surprised

swayed his head like shaking off a punch Awcomeon.

Awcomeon nothing its probably only the secondthird time Ive found you astute Maybe someone else has lavished you

Although I do hold the bar high

more than a little deflated Whatever.

Annow I drop my compliment Really   Whaever

                                                    Wha a dismal reply

What do you expect me to say?

I woud have continued commiserating looks like somethings got you down

  

   he shrugged What’s up?

Thas better better than whaever Thank you

                                                  Anna  The woman Ive been dating awhile

Yes.

Have been considering asking her if she might want to move in together Half the time at my place her place Finances  Which sounds coldblooded mercenary  Financially it woud boost us both Put money away for rainy days   Because they come

Which makes sense.

                       If I met someonewe remained connected for a considerable time . . I might see moving in togetherasking.

he nodded

I like Anna.

I really really like Anna

                           I don use the word love lightly  Its an awesome   obligation

I understand.

Yes

What’s the problem?

Saying it sounds  petty insignificantIm not either

                                                      Not usually

Moving in together is an obligation.

                                       I’ve never lived with a woman.  Maybe.   No I won’t.

Why

I think . . well no . can’t say I thinkI know . . old school . my parents didn’t.  

                                                                                  You did.

We did 

An you did when living together was frowned upon . .

. . You have no idea Although tha woudnt have happened if I hadnt told Cindi I loved her prior We took more than a few on the chin

                People are ignorant

Annow maybe Im being ignorant

The problem?

Garlic

   You a vampire?

Clever  astute if you woud  an funny in the same day  Better mark tha down on the calendar

See?  I have my moments.

Yes

     But theyre spread so so  so very far apart

That’s called something, isn’t it?

Yes it is

          Wha

   I don’t remember.

                       But you do.

I do

Need time to find it resuscitate it

No. No. It’s lost under the rubble of my mind.  Please?

Epizeuxis

Yes.  I don’t know why I can’t ever remember it.

   Because I can

Is that a question or statement?

Yes

        Ya like tha 

Im pulling a you on you   Yes

Funny guy.

              But swinging back aroun . .

. . Garlic

Yes

     I like garlicreally love garlic  in my evening dinners On occasionalbeit frequently

What’s frequently?

Three sometimes four times a week

That’s pretty damn frequent.  I . . I can’t remember the last time I used it.

You don cook Dine out or microwave something

                                                    Works for youHell ya eat gas station fried chicken

Not going to let that go.

I am not

           But thasaid I do love garlic

What’s the problem?

Anna eats a head a day every morning 

                                           Every morning

And there are aspects of ingesting and  excreting  thamuch garlic

Use aerosols.

I do not like aersols at all Sam I Am

                                      Chemical scents phony scents disgust me

Then, I’d say, you’re verging on your preposterous one-strike and you’re out notion, it's a dealbreaker.

                                                                                                           Wouldn’t you?

   Woudnt I
