Cal.E.'s Korner

d.: (ring) hold on, Cal.E., I’m talking to Trey. He’s about to go back to college and I’m giving him some advice.

“Trey, when you get on a short flight,

don’t try to carry on a lengthy conversation with the person in the next seat. And, when you get on a long flight, don’t just have a short conversation with the person next to you, because there will be an awkward silence for most of the flight if you do.

“Good talk, son.”

Okay, Cal.E., I’m back.

C.: Is Trey going to college in a different state?

d.: No, why?

C.: Well, is his college in West Texas?

d.: No, he’s going to school just north of Houston. It’s about a ninety-minute drive from here. I just wanted to give him some fatherly advice before he left.

Why do you ask?

C.:….N-N-Never mind. Anyway, I know that you went to a funeral this week, and I wanted to ask some questions about them, since we don’t have them on the Planet of the Talking Cats.

d.: Yes, Cal.E., I did, but Trey came home for Ace’s birthday. He lives in our neighborhood, so Trey stayed with us. He starts college classes next week, so I want to see him off…But do thank T for wiring me that money. Tell him I will pay him back when I get my next paycheck. My dad wanted eggs for breakfast every morning, and I only brought ten C-notes with me. I didn’t want to use a credit or debit card because you never know what will happen with computers in that part of the country.

C.: I will, but I suppose that’s the end of todays cat tail(e). Tell Trey ‘good luck’ with his classes and we’ll see y’all tomorrow right here on Cal.E.’s Korner.
