"But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine month."
"Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."
"But the plans were on display ..."
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a flashlight."
"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
LOVE IT, love it, loveitloveitloveit!!! And I see a year-end review below as well; delicious!
Even if I truly am terrible about keeping in touch myself. Ah, guilty! But you are right, I've found dribs and drabs of ways to keep in touch with you, for example.
And I so love that you keep up with your thoughtful cards!!
"It occurred to me that if I went in with guns blazing, big surprise, how would Ian react? Since I wanted love and good humor, maybe I should try bringing those tools with me instead? Duh. Don't ask me why it's taken almost 37 years for me to figure this out, but I'm running an experiment with it this year!"
Nice! I feel very fortunate to have learned all the wisdom I have already by my almost-21 years of age. I guess it helps to always have some good friends who are (well) older than you and read wisdom books constantly...
