Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that Reuben had some crazy story about her work in Clewiston, how she had done a huge expose of the sugar industry, with some help from her boyfriend who worked inside the sugar mills, and gave her special access to the financial records or whatever it was that she used to write her stories. To my thinking, her methods would raise some scary ethical issues, even if the sugar industry had issues that needed to be exposed or not. But I never explored that further. I did not want to see more about that.

Yes, in a way it made sense for them to fire me, because, apart from the goofy things that i did wrong and served as useful excuses for that purpose, also Mr. Robinson had recently recruited his tribal cousin Ms. Reuben to move up there from Clewiston, with grand intentions for her career, so clearly why keep me hanging around there waiting for nothing to happen. They get along so much better, they understand each other so well and work so well together, those Robinsons and Reubens, and I just do not belong to that tribe, probably never will be able to "understand" that arrangement. In a way it was sort of a relief for me to be rid of them, to be able to get on with my life apart from their insular tribal clique. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that a few years ago I was reading a book, but I have read so many books recently it is hard to remember which book, but it was a book about Mohammed's ascent to heaven, and near the beginning of his journey he is accosted by a woman on the side of the road, but he soon moves past her and continues his journey to heaven, where he sees many famous patriarchs and historical figures. Apparently some persons in heaven or hell, that was not clear, which book was I reading, are stuck forever in small microwave situations, always repeating the same scenarios and running around in circles, but anyway, why get ahead of ourselves. Always better to have a chance to correct the record before then.

Yes, I vaguely remember hearing a pack of online nonsense from Linda, but who cares? Even a broken clock may be right twice a day, she might have some points, so what about that?

 Yes, someone was reminding me, and it is true, that during the one day that I spent at the Smithsonian museum, one of the things that I saw there was the Hope diamond. You have to wait in line to catch a brief glance at the thing, and it is beautiful, a luminous blue diamond is how I remember that, and yet if we pause to consider all of the many curses attached to the Hope diamond, it is sort of amazing that anyone would want to do that. If I ever go the Smithsonian again, maybe I would not find time for that when there are so many other things to see there. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, interesting how you are so obsessed with my high school career. Doesn't every high school have its various groups of cliquey snobs who think they know everything regardless of its geographical? But anyway, I always was a loner. But I would prefer not to have to discuss these complex matters in public with some pathetically immature persons to whom I may or may not be related.

Yes, that was a bit puzzling, why would a guy born in 1960 be in my high school class when that was not our year, and also where was his twin sister? But there are many guys named Henry so who knows what that meant.
