Oh, I'm tired!", Mari says, back from work. "Want to watch some T.V.?"
"Sure!", I answer. "Hang on!" I pour myself a drink, and settle down.
We watch . . . oh, something. Anything. It is early evening.
A nice time of day. Mari home. The cats have been waiting.
Mari loves TIVO. We skip the commercials.
We watch . . . maybe . . . "Chopped!". It is a relaxing time.
I finish my drink. My glass is dry, and so am I.
I need a bathroom break, and some way to avoid dehydration.
I make a double break, for the bathroom, and for
another drink. I am good at that. I have experience.
Before I get to the second stage of my break,
Mari has TIVO'd the commercial breaks away.
Joel gave her thumb-flip lessons. "Tick, tick, there!"
So I miss out on all the best chefs.
I miss the critical clues in those British dramas.
The third quarter of the basketball game is gone.
I return, relieved, replenished, and Mari asks,
"Want to watch some more T.V.?"
"Sure!", I answer. "Hang on!" I pour myself a drink, and settle down.
