The Monday Morning Memo

I bought this old pencil sketch of a farmer with his hands on his hips shortly after I purchased the unpublished manuscript of Don Keehan, Marshall of Manchon from the estate of John Steinbeck. Everyone in the Cervantes Society assumed that Stanford University was the winning bidder, but the head of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Literature at Stanford is a member of that Society, so they soon learned they were wrong. When you come to Austin for our little soiree on Tues/Wed, April 5-6, I’ll make the same presentation to you that I made to them. Prepare to be astounded, amazed, impressed, and entertained.

“

The invasion took place on Thursday about sunset.

Hundreds of tiny black ants invaded our kitchen. They had been well trained, marching in single file up and down our cream colored cabinets.  They split near the sink, one regiment headed toward the bread box, the other straight to our fresh fruit bowl.
I was ready, wiping them out with advanced technology, Bounty Paper Towels dampened with a deadly spray of Windex. I thought I had got them all.  But no. One brave tiny black ant kept marching forward. I saw him looking around wondering where the rest of his team had gone.
Ready to smash, I picked the ambush to take place next to the yellow pepper shaker. However, as the little guy advanced, I remembered how I felt in earlier times full of fear and loneliness. I extended an index finger of peace.  The little black ant climbed up on my nail and I escorted him safely to the front yard.
Silly me. Somehow, I felt good deep inside. Later, I read little black ants have a life span of four months. I’m hoping my new little buddy has three months of splendor in the grass.
