Spare Any Change?
The next day the earthquake hit.
At the morning staff meeting, Randy announced Fawlty Showers
was being merged with a larger agency.
While I was digesting this news at lunch, I noticed a relaxed
calm settle over Abigail’s features.
“You seem happy,” I said, thinking she knew something about
the merger.
“I have cancer,” Abigail said. I didn’t know what to say. Being happy about
cancer was weird even for Abigail.
That night at our AA meeting, Talmadge told me he was moving
to Florida.
“The government tries to hide it,” I said to him, “but an
average of ten senior citizens a day are eaten by anacondas. They live in the Everglades
and sneak into retirement villages at night.”
On the drive home I reminded myself the status quo was an
illusion. Something was always changing, even if the change was too slight for
me to notice.
The best I could do was take stock, change what I could, and
adapt.
Today I will accept things change and adapt.
Fawlty Showers 2 is a work of fiction. Any similarity between the characters and anyone you might know is purely coincidental.
