FAWLTY SHOWERS


Time Out

Dr. Deb and I started to make dinner, but I could see neither of us was enthusiastic about it.


We need a timeout, I thought.


Sometimes timeouts are taken to discuss strategy.  Other times, they’re called to make a point, say to ask someone why he committed another dumb foul after he’d been told specifically not to. (Oh, the memories…)


Some timeouts are called just to give players a short break, long enough to catch their breath. There’s no major changes needed, people are doing their jobs, nobody is leaving the game.  They’re a short pause to refresh and restart.


“Let’s order pizza,” I said. “Give ourselves a break.”


Today I will take a timeout.

 

Fawlty Showers is a work of fiction. Any similarity between the characters and anyone you might know is purely coincidental.
