C.: I think I’ll call d.c. and see why he hasn’t tried to communicate with me concerning our script for our blog for the last couple of days. Maybe he has, but that meteor shower blocked the transmission. If so, I have three days worth of scripts to reply to. I’d better try to call him and see if the call will go through. (ring).
d.: Hello?
C.: Hi, d.c., have you been trying to reach me via text, email, instant message or, your generation’s favorite way of communicating, phone call for the last couple of days?
d.: No, why?
C.: Then are you mad at me for some reason unknown to me?
d.: Why would you ask me that question?
C.: Because you haven’t sent me a script to respond to with my wise and playful answers since Friday. It’s now Sunday, so I assumed that you had either forgotten about our blog, or the meteor shower was keeping us from communicating across the planet. Is that what happened?
d.: No, but I do feel as if my head is about to explode
C.: Is that why you haven’t written our script for our blog for the last couple of days?
D.: Not exactly. I did forget to write the script this weekend, because I’ve been trying to figure something out.
C.: Is that why you feel as if your head is about to explode? That must be a doozy of a problem. Maybe I can help with your problem now that I’ve stared at a carton of orange juice that said ‘concentrate’ for ten hours in my husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken’s refrigerator. I’m now considered to be a genius, so tell me what your problem is. Maybe I can solve it.
d.: Well, on Friday, Eudora and I were having a discussion when she said, ‘You overthink everything.’
I’ve been trying to figure out if I do that or not for the last couple of days, but I cannot come up with an answer. I feel as if my head will explode if I don't let off a little steam.
I do like to take my time before I answer some questions, but doesn’t everyone if the question is important? And what makes a question important? Is it only important to the asker, since s/he is the one trying to elicit information, or is it important to both parties?
C.: d.c. we’re running out of time.
d.: And that’s another thing. Who decided that one of Earth’s revolutions was 24 hours? That’s a strange number to come up with. Man invented time, so we could have made it a nice, even number like ten or twenty hours. Even 25 hours in a day would have been easier for most people to understand.
And who decided that one revolution around the sun equaled 365 ¼ days? Maybe we wouldn’t have leap year every four years if man had used a different number of hours to make a day.
Oh, yes, that’s right, I was asking you a question, and it is very important to me. I hope that you can answer it now that you have the I.Q. of a genius.
C.: Okay, tell me your question.
d..: Cal.E., do you think that I overthink things,?
C.:....That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow (hopefully) for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
