Hiding Away In The Country

We took a few days off, to play ladies, as Owen put it. Owen worked every day, so Gordon and I smoked pot and cut fire wood and enjoyed the country.

We stayed up late and watched home life style shows. And repeats of Frazier.

I was messaging Nick a lot, as I said I’d be home on Wednesday and here I still was, in the country playing ladies with Gordon.

“Ladies,” said Gordon. “Let’s not have any of that shit up here, okay.” It was said as a mild threat, it had menacing undertones.

I promised I would go to something with Gordon and he was cross. “Fuck you Josh Grant, you never hold up your side of the deal, you always back out.”

Sorry. What could I say. I didn’t even know what he was talking about.

“But I wanted to be seen with a hot date,” said Gordon. “And you're the closest thing I have to that and you can't even do that much for me.”

What can I say, I'm sorry. I don’t remember agreeing to be Gordon’s date to anything. I’d have remembered that, that would have gone down in my book for worst date ever, and yet I have no memory of it at all, there seems to be a tear in the reality field here, right at this point… I’d never have agreed, to start with, and if I had agreed to what is clearly a very bad idea, I would never have forgotten about it.

Nah. Gordon is having a lend… or early onset dementia.

“You are considered a very hot date in my age appropriate circles,” said Gordon. He got all letchy and blokey, oh, excuse me.

“Good to know I still do it for the blue rinse set.”

“We used to be the hot thirty year olds you were begging for it from once…”

“Used to be.”
