Wagon Repair
No relationship involving Cara could be called a match made in heaven, but I’d always thought her husband was right for her.  He was easy-going and not bothered much by Cara’s need for attention.  He came from money, made a lot of money, and didn’t much care how Cara spent their money.  

“Well I fixed his little red wagon,” Cara said, poking me in the chest with a manicured nail. I was afraid to ask how.  Her marriage had been in trouble, but taking a drink had made a bad situation worse.  No doubt being drunk helped convince her he was completely to blame, and she needed to punish him.

Today I’ll remember the AA saying: ‘there’s no problem so bad a drink cannot make it worse.’
