My friend's having a bad day so I rang her. Wanted to tell her that daylight comes after the dark. Didn't get the chance. It's not a platitude, just simple truth. Hopefully she still reads me.

Her:...left of the overpass. There's usually parking there.

Me: Got it. Oh and it's a trestle not an overpass cause it's for a train not car. Just thought y'should know...

Brother: (muttering in passenger seat) It's troubling that you know that.

My brother came to visit me over the weekend so gave him the keys to my apartment. I've three doors and never lock the third one. But for some inexplicable reason, locked it.

So the poor guy was outside in the cold at 5AM for two hours. He called WM who insisted on driving in from across the river, to drop him off at the 'rents. Took about an hour.

Both said it wasn't a big deal. They're just too nice t'get mad at me. S'ok, I'm mad at myself.

Her: Long Island? Why are you taking a class in Long Island?

Me: They have a steak dinner afterward.

Her: You're going all the way out to Long Island just for that?

Me: Did y'not hear what I said? They have a steak dinner afterward.

Her: But it's all the way out...

Me: (slowly) Steak...dinner.
