Just to clarify - my questions were not intended to poke fun at David. I'm genuinely curious! I must admit, I have a touch of respect for his way of doing things, despite my better judgment...
Yesterday I received 2 emails in my inbox almost simultaneously - this one from David and one from my tax guy. (Due to the date of my wedding/honeymoon, I filed for a tax extension this year and have really procrastinated...I hate gathering paperwork, but I finally got myself together.) Tax man says, "You owe a bit" and I'm so annoyed because I was THISCLOSE to vanquishing that balance on my credit card, but that'll have to wait another pay period, because Uncle Sam get his money first. So there I was, pouting about finances, trying to remember if I had any expensive obligations this summer, and then I read David's email. He really does do a lot with a little! So even though we are very different people and I wouldn't feel comfortable doing some of the things he does (like showering in a Craigslist guy's hotel room - thanks Brian for that question, I'm adding it to my list) I'm wondering if I could learn a couple of tricks from him. I mean, he's at convention and I'm not...and that seems to be a pattern. On the other hand, I doubt I'll learn much because David has a way of artfully dodging certain questions. He did begin, "to answer Mallory's intimate questions" yesterday, but only answered the one about riding to Hot Springs to see his aunt. David, stop holding out on us! I need to know about this apartment. Inquiring minds... :) Mallory On Tue, Jun 18, 2019 at 7:34 AM Katherine Arens <[email protected]> wrote: > confederacy of dunces > > On Jun 17, 2019, at 5:06 PM, Charles Loving <[email protected]> wrote: > > There was novel about some guy in New Orleans that was equally inept. > Something about..."Fools".
