Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that Mr. Long was my accountant for three years, until I decided it was way too expensive to pay for what I could do myself anyway when I am not making as much profit as I had originally expected. Strange that you would know about Mr. Long. That's not something that I would ever mention to you.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I was recently reminded vaguely of the fictional story of the long-time feud between the Montagus and the Capulets, which served very well as a plot device for the dramatic effects of William Shakespeare, in the play 'Romeo and Juliet,' which we studied in high school, although beyond that it is actually a matter of complete indifference to persons of 21st century America. Nowadays nobody really imagines that those people ever really existed except in the most generic terms useful to fiction writers who sit around inventing crazy stuff, because no one really wants to be bothered with carrying out these vendettas to such ridiculous extremes of stupidity in real life, as if I should carry which tribe of dreary Italians "won." We leave these stupid vendettas to fiction writers who make up stories warning us about what NOT to do and what attitude problems will probably need serious adjustments in the future. Needless to say.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember years ago when I was working in Boca, there was a candidate named Al Kauffman who came to the office to be interviewed about his campaign, and while there he asked me about someone named Calkins, and I said "No relation." Apparently he was worried that I might be related to one of his clients, but it was not so. There always seem to be a handful of Calkins listed in the phone book to whom I am actually not related that I know of, really nothing so unusual about that.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, it is good to know that God forgives me for my stupid mistakes even if some other persons probably never will. There is really nothing that I can do about that, would be useless to even try at this point, why add insult to injury, better to disappear into oblivion.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, it does seem strange that you are so threateningly twisting my arm and blackmailing me and practicing bizarre techniques of extortion upon me when, after all, the only thing that you want to do is plant and grow table grapes. What is wrong with table grapes? I really fail to understand the mental contortions of these growers of table grapes. If I wanted table grapes, the grocery store is full of that anyway, overflowing to be sure. So there was really no need for you to get so emotionally distraught about the cultivation of food products. Where is your problem? Who cares?

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I really would not mind paying my own bills immediately, if only I could remember where to get the money, my mind is getting sort of patchy with all of these tricks going on behind-the-scenes that I cannot quite remember what happened.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I heard something about that theory of them being actually more Apaches or A-Patchy than Spanish, but I have nothing yet to pin that to.
