Thinking points
"How about their legs? They don't
need them."
I was thinking about everything. I have tried to do
what Feinman does (I'm reading his book these days) and reduce everything to
just what we know...not the names of the things. I'm trying to look at the
bird, not learn the name of the bird in three
languages.
So, Ron got drunk and fucked
my wife. I know I can't talk about his feelings for her. I don't much need to.
But, he at the very least got drunk and fucked my wife. Then he called her any
number of mean things (suggesting that SHE is the slutty one who tricked
him...never his fault). Then, he stopped talking to me altogether. I'll stop
with why that seems odd, but for a guy who is so clearly not at fault, he is
sure walking the long way around even regret that it
happened.
Or...is he
angry?
Yeah, he's probably angry. Poor
guy. I expect that is why he had such a long after-relationship to try to help
my wife understand why she is in need of his widsom. I'd do that if I were
angry. I'd probably, like Ron did, castigate Janet for disclosing (what he
called) a "lover's affair"...he's so
poetic!
In the end...again...what do we
KNOW? Not much really. I know Ron has a little dick. I know he is less hairy
than I am. I know he was too drunk to finish. I know he doesn't worry about
safe sex, neither does Ray. I know he thinks he has it all under control.
He learned so much with Curtis killing
himself. I used to be moved by this idea. But, I wonder if Curtis had called
before he killed himself, if he would have called HIM back. I wonder if that is
just the tough love that Curtis needed.
Who knows, maybe Ron helped back then
too. I'm not saying anything is his fault. He'll tell you he has none. I'm
just trying to sort out what I know...and I know Ron has been really helpfully
stern with all he has learned from his friend killing
himself.
Too low?
Nah.
I have had friends kill
themselves. It has changed who I am. I don't ever take it lightly. I don't
ever mind being made the fool when I take the 'bait' of a possibly unreal
threat. See, messing THAT one up...being wrong just once...well...it is
expensive.
Ron ain't paying any bills
though....wait...maybe I have one or two for him.
