patrick called me four times today. for a hearing impaired man who has nothing to say on the phone, especially a cellular phone with questionable connections, this is a milestone. the last time was ten minutes ago, on the way home from the hardware store. i was watching frankie and johnny and feeling hopelessly romantic. the potato rose gets me every time.
we were a couple before we met, i told him, quoting al pacino's fervent, lovestruck johnny.
i knew that, he answered.
