Wizard Dry-Cube
My dad used to have two of these to keep our lunch cool when we went fishing. This one's at the Motherlode Cafe in Jamestown, CA.

*Hint* The secret is teriyaki sauce. (That's for the marinade, not the Manhattan, son.)

Identity Crisis
I was sitting at home last evening. My phone rang, showing a number that it didn't know.
* Hello?
A woman's voice said,
* Bruce?
* Who's calling please?
* This is your wife.
It wasn't Mary. I was pretty sure of that.
* Excuse me?
* Bruce?
* Could you please tell me who you are? I mean, my name is Bruce, and I have a wife, but I'm sure that it's not you...
* Oh, I was trying to call my husband. I'm sorry. Goodbye.
So I got the number from my phone, googled it, and found this guy:
Bruce Budnick. He's in construction, and a fan of International Supermodified Association, a touring racing division of open-wheel, little racecars. Hi, Bruce!
I'm having a hard time constructing a narrative that would lead to that phone call.
*************************************************************
Shortly thereafter, I was talking to my friend Paul in the hall of our apartment complex. As we parted, he said, "Okay, goodbye, have a good weekend, Steve."
At this point, I'm not sure who I am.

- Got rained on walking to BART

- Coming up the stairs at Civic Center, the moist San Franciscan air smelled strongly of Knorr Chicken Soup Mix
So I guess it all evens out.

Subject: I'm Sure We're All Civilized People...
...and I wouldn't dream of imposing on your private life(s). So if you want to move in NEXT DOOR to us and not even say hello, well that's perfectly fine, I'm sure. Whatever you and M. Keil are doing in the privacy of your own home is totally your business, and no concern whatsoever of mine.
Just a word to the wise, though, Buddy. I'm getting on in years, you know. Sometimes my memory plays tricks on me. Sometimes I forget what I'm supposed to say, and what I'm not supposed to say. I'd hate to have word of this get out to my supervisor. At work.
So if there's anything that you'd like to, uh, reinforce in my memory, say with a certain quantity of folding money, feel free to get in touch, alright?
xxBruce

For years I had a great big crush on this cute shy girl named J. Keil. She was second chair flute and I was second chair saxaphone in our jr. high school band. She never gave me the time of day and moved to Hawaii. Now I live with her bodybuilder older brother M. Keil. But don't tell any one.
