Yesterday was my first day this week not blogging, and that’s a subject of discussion at the bar. We’re here for a well-deserved rest and to get in out of the rain that will be with us for the next seven or eight days. While we’re here, we’re going to deal with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt.
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘yes.’ Find a word that starts with ‘yes’ or use the word ‘yes’ as is. Bonus points if you start your post with the word you choose. Enjoy!”
If we were having a beer, you’d be confused when you arrived.
“Yesterday, David.”
“Hi Cheryl. What do you mean? Yesterday, what?”
“Yesterday. Dan was here with Gary for lunch. You missed him.”
“Is he not coming in today?”
“Yes, I’m coming in today. I can come in two days in a row, can’t I?”
“Anything’s possible, Dan. I mean you blogged twenty-five days in a row.”
“Six.”
“Six what?”
“I blogged six days in a row, David.”
“Oh. I guess it only seemed like twenty-five.”
“Thanks.”
“So, what brought you in yesterday? You don’t usually come in on a Friday?
“Gary was golfing on Tuesday.”
“I took the liberty of bringing you your usual drinks. A John Howell’s bourbon for David and a cold Modelo for Dan. Is that OK, guys?”
“That’s OK, Cheryl, as long as the rest of my drink is coming.”
“I’ll be right back with the seltzer, the ice and a few cherries, David.”
“While you’re at it, can you explain why Dan was here yesterday?”
“Sure, ‘cuz Gary was golfing on Tuesday.”
“Dan, what does Gary golfing on Tuesday have to do with you coming to the bar on Friday?”
“Well, I was in Massachusetts on Tuesday.”
“Yes, yes, I know. You met Jennie and her students. I have to say, I’m a little jealous. But I still don’t see how this factors in.”
“I called Gary on my way home, to see if he wanted to join me for a beer, but…”
“He was golfing. I get it. Still, how does that turn into lunch yesterday?”
“He didn’t answer on Tuesday, and he didn’t check his voicemail until yesterday.”
“So, when he checked, he thought you wanted him to meet you for a beer, yesterday.”
“Yes. Exactly.”
“Why didn’t you explain what happened?”
“’Cuz I didn’t answer my phone. He left me voicemail that said, ‘That sounds great, I’ll see you there around noon. Maybe we can have lunch.’ It was already quarter of, so…”
“What’d you have?”
“A Wisconsin burger.”
“Lemmie guess, made with cheddar cheese.”
“Yes, and lettuce, tomato, mayo, barbeque sauce and served on toasted sourdough bread. I added pickles and onions.”
“Geeze Louise, that sounds delicious.”
“It was.”
“And it had the added bonus of keeping you from blogging again.”
“Well, only some people consider that a bonus, David.”
“Should I call for a show of hands, Dan?”
“No. I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“I thought I might trick you. All your answers have been ‘Yes’ up ‘til now.”
“I do listen to you when you’re talking.”
“Then listen closely. What say we get a couple of those Wisconsin burgers and another round of drinks? Can you handle burgers two days in a row?”
“Yes!”
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
