02-8-02 - 8:37 p.m. topics of conversation today, in no particular order, in a parked truck, over french lemonade; let's buy a house overlooking this lake. which one? that one. why not that one? it's too ostentatious. i like ostentatious. interesting, coming from someone who leaves his christmas lights up year round. the marinated eggplant doesn't look healthy, but i'll try it. i like this truck. it has comfortable seats, an allman brothers tape and spare change in the ashtray. you know, in theory, at my age, i should be retired and fishing like that old guy over there, not having a wild, tempestuous affair with a woman young enough to be my daughter.... if you're going to spend $3,700 on new hearing aids, you should be able to test drive them, like a car. ...but i don't care about fishing and retirement is not realistic because we recently reached a milestone. milestone? which milestone? i love milestones! i gave you the ring and we became a couple. so how do you like the eggplant? i don't.
