How Can You Miss Me If I Won't Go Away?

So I'm all packed. Coffeed-up. Wearing a hat. Mr. Moon is dealing with the boat we're borrowing. It's pretty small. It's called The Winky II which makes me feel as if Mr. Moon should be wearing a clown outfit when he drives it. Don't you think?

Lily just called. Owen either has allergies or he's getting a cold. He can talk on the phone now which breaks my heart.
"Hey, Owen! It's grandmother!"
"Meir-Meir!" he says. "Ah yah!"
Ah yah means I love you.

How can I not see him for all these days in a row?

Oh my.

Well, I think the Winky II is about ready to roll.

Shit. I look like a clown anyway. Overalls are so nautical, especially paired with a gimme hat from Jessie's old high school and very short red braids. I look like Pippi Longstocking's mother.

Okay. Here's what I wanted to say:

I LOVE YOU! AH-YAH!

See you Sunday.

  2. I love you, too! Winky sounds like the name a small child would give his penis. My winky hurts. Jesus H. Is there no humiliation that poor Mr. Moon must endure, on top of the fucking fact that his goddamn boat motor crapped out?

  7. I'm headed to New Mexico! (never been but it is for a work meeting). But I could do without the 3-hour plane trip. I'd rather travel on the Gulf on Mr. Winky II. See you later!

  17. Oh, dear Ms. Moon, ay-yah!! And I cannot WAIT to see you in just a very few days. Imagine ourselves, hip to hip in that kitchen full of some of the women we love most, while the fire ring is tended with love and care by some of the men we love most...ay-yah!!!
    I do hope to see another Dog Island conch shell, but mostly to see Dog Island darlings soon, soon.

  18. Mr. Moon strikes me as too dignified to take insult at the boat's name. I know I'm late with commenting, but I hope it all went well and that you had a blast.
