Latest chapter—
Marcia and I were messing around in the kitchen when the phone rang. Caller ID said area code 303 and Noah Glanville. Marcia asked, "Do you know anybody named Noah Glanville?"
"Nope"
"Well, I'm not answering. It's probably telemarketers."
In a few minutes she put the message on the speaker. "Paul, this is Noah Glanville from Pit Barrel Cooker. I'm calling to thank you for your order for a Pit Barrel Cooker. Orders are outstripping our supply and I wanted to tell you that we won't be able to ship your Pit Barrel Cooker until the third week in June. I know you'll be happy with your Pit Barrel Cooker but be sure to call me at ... if you want to discuss any aspect of your new Pit Barrel Cooker..."
He must have said Pit Barrel Cooker 10 times in that message. She was staring at me the entire time she was listening. She had to turn away to disconnect the call and when she turned back toward me she asked, "What's a Pit Barrel Cooker. Is that a Grill?" (We already have three on the deck.)
"Ummm, sort of."
She let go a sigh that I suspect Muebe would have heard if he was outdoors.
Jeez, that's why I still love her after more than 50 years.
