Last week, I skipped visiting the bar with David so I could share a creepy tale based on a visit to New York City with the real David. This week, I’m back, and the timing is perfect because Linda is offering bonus points.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “pant/pent/pint/pont/punt.” Use one, use ’em all, use ’em any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use more than one. Enjoy!
Oh, I will enjoy this, especially the pint.
If we were having a beer, you’d be in a hurry.
“Good afternoon, David.”
“Not really, Dan.”
“Excuse me?”
“I mean it’s not really a good afternoon, at least not for drinking. I have to go to a graduation party this evening. I can’t stay here very long.”
“So, you’re not drinking?”
“Whoa, whoa, not drinking? I’m not sure I can let you guys hang out at the bar if you’re not drinking.”
“Worry not, Curley. I’ll be having a beer, and I’m sure David has time for one John Howell’s Special.”
“Besides, Curley, there’s no one else here.”
“We could get crowded at any point, David. I’ll get your drinks.”
“I’m going to tell my wife you bought me this drink before I could refuse.”
“Whose graduation are you going to?”
“I forget his name. He’s the son of my wife’s niece, Laura.”
“College or high school?”
“High school, well, prep school—they call it Pont—Pierrepont School in Westport. I hate these things. I’d much rather put on my comfy pants and queue up an old movie.”
“That’s sounds like my Saturday, David.”
“Here you go, a glass of beer, a snifter of seltzer, a glass of ice and a cold pint of beer.”
“Hey, I have an idea. Tell your wife I ordered a second glass before you could refuse. Then you could worry about driving and punt the whole affair.”
“She’d never believe that.”
“Tell her it’s because I skipped last week. I wanted to take care of what I assumed was a pent-up demand on your part.”
“That wouldn’t work. She’d be angry. Being home with her would be worse than being in Westport.”
“Well, I tried.”
“It won’t be too bad. The important thing is to drop off the envelope, shake a few hands and apologize for making an early exit.”
“Sounds like you’ll have those comfy pants on before eight o’clock.”
“I still say we could have mailed him the check.”
“This way you’ll get a glass of wine and a piece of cake.”
“Just what I need. So, no more stories from you?”
“Not for a while. The writing challenge was a big success.”
“And next week, we’ll be toasting your new book. You’re bringing me a copy, right?”
“It will be my pleasure, David. Like I’ve always said, I’ll write for beer.”
“I’ll even toss in a pizza.”
