us, be Siamese twins, we're so mushed up together! So<br />

I'm seeing Cecil Hedgerow about one of those nice new<br />

Cape Cods over in Astor Heights. The one on Pilgrim<br />

Boulevard. Did I tell you this? With the green dutch<br />

doors? I sure wish you two'd bought down there<br />

instead of building out in the middle of nowhere.<br />

'Course, I mean, you got a gorgeous house. But we<br />

could have been neighbors again, like on Long Branch."<br />

"Well, John wanted—"<br />

"Say no more! What can a wife do but grin and<br />

bear it? Now, you know me, I wouldn't trade Joe and<br />

the boys for all the coffee in the A&P, but not a day<br />

goes by when I don't wish one or the other of them<br />

would get eaten by a bear and save me the trouble of<br />

buying a gun to shoot them. Lord, you've ruined me;<br />

that ten was supposed to lay away Tommy's overcoat.<br />

Once you break a ten these days, it's like a dollar used<br />

to be, you might as well flush the change down the john.<br />

Come over and take pot luck with us tonight, no sense<br />

to cook just for yourself what with Hawk away. Liz<br />

Taylor's going to be on channel six, too; I can't help it,<br />

I'll just watch anything she's in.
