Fawlty Showers 2

 

Acceptance, Radioactive Alligators, and the Bogey Basher

Later that week I sat next to Talmadge at an AA meeting.

“You really moving?” I asked, knowing the answer.

“In a month,” he said.  “I signed the paperwork two days ago.”

“So, we have a month to change your mind.”

Talmadge laughed. “I put down my non-refundable deposit. You won’t change my mind.”

I spun tales about radioactive alligators, mosquitoes the size of tennis balls, and the Bogey Basher, a serial killer who hid in sand traps. Talmadge just laughed more.

“Gonna miss you,” I said finally, trying to accept what I could not change with as much grace as I could muster.

 

Today I’ll try to accept the things I cannot change with as much grace as I can muster.
