What? I hear “encore” all the time.
Sharpen up that routine, and it will be followed by an exclamation point... ;-)
The garage guy has departed for his home in Georgia for some weeks-with his wife, not the paid companion he’d negotiated a deal with. Yesterday, Ms. garage guy engaged me in conversation about their reconciliation, and she was clearly on a fishing expedition.
Either she heard rumors about him being seen around the county with flashy blonde, self-propelled arm candy 1/2 his age, or-more likely-after some 18 years of marriage she knows what he does when she isn’t looking. She asked for my “professional opinion” of a man who plays when the cat is away, and I told her honestly that my work had been voc rehab/workers comp cases, not couples counseling-and as far as what I might have seen/heard around the garage, I know nothing...
