I was burning through the complete season 1 DVD set of Dukes of Hazzard when I got a text from my pal Gil.
*Dude, it’s getting hot in here. Where are you?*
I texted back:
*Feeling down right now, bud. Talk to you tomorrow?*
Gil knew about Clarise dumping me four days ago. I had been hurting at first, then the pain subsided into a dull ache. I remembered how watching Bo and Luke cause vehicular mayhem in weekly re-runs during my childhood had never failed to make me happy. Now seemed like a good time to get some of that happiness back. Gil had called me that morning to see how I was doing and to invite me to a party he was hosting in his newly modified garage. Not wanting to upset him, I had said yes, but my heart told me no as it was telling me now.
Gil texted:
*If you’re thinking this is going to be like the last time when you got bored ten minutes in and had to leave, I’m telling you, man, this ain’t that time. Check out the video I just made. Can’t argue with you anymore, bro. This lady demands full attention and I’m giving it! Dayummm!*
