“Can we watch Horsefeathers?” I said.
“I’ll make the popcorn,” Ira said.
I laced my hands behind my head and looked at the sky for a while. A police helicopter chopped by without stopping to circle the neighborhood. Time to be thankful for the little things.
I took out my phone. For a full minute I looked at it as if it was some ancient seer stone holding the great answers of life and all I had to do was wait for them.
Then I got tired of waiting.
And made the call.
