Cathleen and I went on a great big outing today. Big for the Coronavirus-infested world, anyway: We went to the Home Depot in Laveen – 30 treacherous miles from our home, along a fairly new freeway spur. In other words, duck soup in January but somehow a fairly big deal in September.
But what made it an outing was this stupid pandemic, so we made the most of it. Cathleen wore a dress, for goodness sakes. And it put me in mind of this song – as sappy as Tom Waits ever got, but iso granular, so particular, that I feel like we’re right there.
