An Evening with DRK
April 5, 2008
Dirty rat kid and I spent an evening without Mama/wifey. Wifey was at some charity event at the US Ambassador’s residence. I look forward to those times alone with DRK because they don’t happen too often. I’m the office guy. My beloved wifey is the stay at home Mom. Kinda wish the roles were reversed. Wifey’s a hell of a lot smarter than me anyway, with better income earning potential. Oh well. Picked up DRK from tennis lessons, where she was involved in a match with a 40 year old guy. She almost beat him! Hey, the lessons are paying off. Finally. We walked straight from tennis to one of her fav restaurants. Fully stuffed, we returned home. I wrote a few pages of my next best seller (???) before we topped the evening off with a round of SmartyPants, a Wii game. I ALWAYS win. Except last night. DRK was crowned SmartyPants and couldn’t have been happier. Defeated Dad retired to bed… Whip

Dear Whip,
I’m sure your book will be a bestseller. When I looked at your paragraphs, I was so into the story of you, your wife and … DRK. I am currently reading The View From Saturday, a book by E.L. Konigsburg (the two-time Newberry Medal-Winning Author), and quite frankly, I feel you deserve those medals more than she. Her book is tiresome, there’s no end… Plus everyone I know over forty years has read it and none of them remember the story! If it were a Medal-winning book, I believe SOMEONE should remember SOMETHING! Whereas for your story, I remember everything. The description of your job, your feelings about it, picking up you daughter from tennis lessons, her almost-victory over a forty year old man, the dinner, the Wii game, your loss and your daughter’s victory, and of course, your going to bed.
It was a fantastical story! My Congratulations to you!
Sincerely,
La Hija
