Which Reminds Me

Yes, where is the local AG church where white people may feel comfortable? We have tried so hard to be nice, but we are getting very tired of always having a gun pointed at our heads.

Yes, whatever happened to that little stuffed duck that Pam gave me? I dropped it off at a charity thrift shop so that maybe they can get some cents from it, because anyway that did not mean very much to me. What would Pam know about my oral report in 10th grade biology class on the topic of ducks, to be specific a certain unusual type of Canadian duck? It just wouldn't make any sense to repeat that anywhere else.

I did resent the way that Pam Hartless was trying to dump me in a bucket with horrible Jan and June. I do not wish to be confused with that, needless to say. Obviously as Pam was not in the room at the time she has to fish around trying to figure out who said what. Well, good luck with that. Even so, I really don't necessarily want Pam negotiating my personal relationships. Even when I did not agree with something that Jan or June said, that does not mean that I feel myself compelled to have them arrested based only on hearsay, without any sufficient evidence to present to the proper authorities, which would not be Pam, and also whatever happened to giving people the grace or space to figure out for themselves where they went wrong, as we Christians are so often scolded about. Why do I have to feel guilty about whatever they said or did, only because I was following the dictates of Thumper Rabbit, so highly tooted as good advice for all ages? What about the other ten or so people in the room at the time? Why aren't they being harassed in this way? Why am I singled out for this nonsense? Something is wrong with this picture, so go away and stop harassing me.

Sometimes I say NO and sometimes I just say nothing because, have you not heard the old song by Thumper Rabbit from the "Bambi" record? "If you can't say something nice, Shhh!, say nothing!" You already have my old childhood records stored away somewhere, obviously.

Yes, what is this mysterious game that I supposedly lost? I lost some games of Authors and also won some so we were about even, as far as I can remember anything about that. And yet I have forgotten many things. My mind just goes blank and then names disappear from the record. Whatever. I have been somewhat late learning that every game with you has a scorpion's tail backlash so I no longer care to play games with you. The games are off now. Obviously.

Yes, I vaguely remember meeting the Stone family of Uruguayans during my freshman year of college at Evangel, but I have never seen them again since that time and cannot understand all this commotion about them when actually it wasn't that important. We heard that Kent got married and then we heard that Kent got divorced and whatever. They were mere acquaintances and there is really nothing further that I would need to discuss with them of a personal nature.

Although I lack the Ph.D. in Spanish language that Kent has, I will not need that for anything. I will have no problem getting around for all practical purposes without his annoying ex-wife and sister screaming in the background, thank you very much.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that the house that we saw near the top of the Boqueron volcano, pointed out as someone's vacation home from the time that there was a lake there, was made of wood, although of course most proper houses there are NOT built of wood, of an unusual style, possibly because of its extreme age, harking back to an ancient time when houses were built of wood, although I suppose fine for a summer cabin, although there is no lake there now and when you walk around the rim of the crater you see that many of the farmers were seriously cultivating on the steep sides of the crater, and around the outside of the rim, flowers of many varieties, very colorful, possibly to supply the florists of the world, although I would only be guessing. I didn't do any serious research there.
