on the outgoing message seemed to indicate his aliveness. Now, is he
both alive and speaking to me? That's the new question.

And just like that, I've given up my $10-a-week compulsion
to have fresh flowers on my window sill. Because instead my eyes are filled
with a future worthy of tiny investments like this one.
