“Would you like some eggs?” Denny asks me from the kitchen. “Sure. And if you could grill a bit of tomato on the side, that would be great. And put the eggs on a bed of spinach. You probably won’t have time to do hashbrowns, though.” “No, I won’t.” Denny is off to work this… Continue reading Episode 63 – Is That a Purse, Mr. Denny?

Episode 51 – Domain Name Server
“I’m just so proud of you. I know the kind of challenge you were up to.” “You do?” It’s 2:30 a.m. and I can’t sleep. Denny never gets up in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. But tonight is an exception and he has been talking to me for half an hour.… Continue reading Episode 51 – Domain Name Server
Episode 50 – Virtual Files
“The clinic has called me four times to confirm that I am going to my doctor’s appointment next week. I wonder what’s up with that?” “They’re just calling because they got your test results back.” “They only call if there’s something wrong.” “They call for all results, now. They’ve changed it.” I haven’t heard of… Continue reading Episode 50 – Virtual Files
Episode 32 – Fleece Pants
We are driving along and Denny points out the flock of birds perched along three wires, like rows in a choir. “I’m always amazed at how the birds all sit in one cluster like that on the lines facing the same direction. All facing exactly the same direction.” I agree with Denny, it is unusual.… Continue reading Episode 32 – Fleece Pants
Episode 26 – No Cheating
“Have you ever been unfaithful to me?” I came right out and asked him. I wanted to know. After thirty years. It happens. A lot of women don’t even know. I needed to know. I just heard of a man who committed suicide when his wife found out he had a pregnant mistress in the… Continue reading Episode 26 – No Cheating
Episode 25 – We Live Till We Die
We are having lunch, well, dinner at the ABC Restaurant. I last ate at ten in the morning and now it is four in the afternoon, so dinner. Breakfast really. That’s what Denny is ordering. Lucky for Denny there is a place that serves breakfast all day. He loves his sausages and eggs. Denny orders… Continue reading Episode 25 – We Live Till We Die
Episode 24 – Vicks
“It used to be that when I’d wake up in the morning I couldn’t stand on my foot. I’d fall over. I’d be in such pain. Even that is almost negligible now that I’m going to the gym. I get up and I can stand on my foot. It didn’t used to be that way.”… Continue reading Episode 24 – Vicks
Episode 17 – Smiling
“You’re smiling again,” Denny says. “It makes me curious. I’m getting pretty anticipatory about this project.” “I told Erna I started a new book. She wants me to finish it before May or June.” “You have to finish it by then, otherwise it will be in conflict with your trip to New York.” The real… Continue reading Episode 17 – Smiling
Episode 10 – Halva
“I hope somebody has my sense of humor, or else this will all be a waste.” “I have a little of your sense of humor,” Denny assures me, half distracted, probably looking at shoes on his computer. We had a success story the other day. Actually it was New Year’s Day. We had no big… Continue reading Episode 10 – Halva
Episode 1 – OK Google
“OK, Google. Remind me to buy a turkey tomorrow.” “What?” I call from the bathroom, as I rinse toothpaste down the sink. It’s bedtime. Denny doesn’t hear me. I bend over to put my toothbrush in the cabinet under the sink and realize he is not talking to me. I remember that Denny asked me… Continue reading Episode 1 – OK Google
