Creating momentum
How to create momentum? Well, see what is there for inspiration, what are the pros of the idea exposed, and exacerbate any potentiality, perhaps make some of our very own. What sophists we are. I called my aunt and heard her saddened at the possibility of us not attending. She argued that it was a time to spend with family and only once a year. She asked me directly if it had something to do with Isabel not wanting to attend, and I reassured her that that wasn’t the case. Right there and then, I decided heartedly to go with the family to encounter my other estranged family. I also called Bobbie and asked if he wanted to smoke something good, and he said it was always good to have some of that around. So, I will take some with me and share. Plus, I’ll have some before going, and buy a few drinks for the family. For now, I will also purchase a bottle of wine or something to drink before heading to Queens. We have planned to leave, as I suggested, in an hour or so. It’s only seven thirty-five in the evening. I said in an hour or so, but I thought to myself we would do so at ten o’clock, in more than a couple of hours from now. That would give us a chance to get drunk. Now the dog is barking because I put my coat on and took his leash on the side… he knows where are going together to buy liquor. So smart of him, well, that he got surely from me.
