Round and Round
While Carol was finally figuring how her favorite author
was also the ‘dang fool’ with a motorcycle …
Curtis was about to head into round umpteenth thousand
with Sherman Thomas …
The unlucky soul BlackSand Industries had saddled with handling
Curtis’ account in regards to the new book.

”Ah-No … Not You Again!
You have been bird-dogging me for days,
and we have been over this again and again.
Do you even own a phone …
At least that way I could ignore your calls?
I’ll tell you what …
I’m gonna go around back and fix me a drink.
You better not be standing here when I turn back around.”

That poor fella Sherman wasn’t entirely stupid,
And he wasn’t technically standing where he had been when Curtis turned around after making a drink.

”Please Curtis … You have to work with me a little.
Maybe we could drop in just two more stops … Huges Ferry and Port Mitchell.
That’s all I am asking.”

”Okay Shirley, Sherman, Shemp …
Whatever your name is ...
We have been over this before.
I am absolutely thrilled the book got published …
Thoroughly ecstatic BlackSand Industries and I are making a boatload of money,
And I will make every stop previously on the list and required by contract.
But if they want me to stop at every pothole between point A and point B …
BlackSand has had a lot to do with what’s been going on in my life …
And they have already made a ton of money off of Curtis Stevens.
I’m not worried about it, and don’t mind telling them no.”

Sherman Puts Up Another Desperate Plea
”But Curtis … Please, ya gotta help me here!
I could get fired!
Okay, so it’s not your fault I got caught with my boss’ daughter in the broom closet
at last year’s Christmas party, but that was a black mark on my record.
How in the heck do you think I got assigned to your account?
No one in their right mind at BlackSand would have volunteered …
they weren’t even interested in drawing straws.
Come on Curtis … Help a brother out.”

”DUUUDE … READ MY LIPS!
You ain’t earned brother status in my book.
I don’t care if you get fired …
And you’d be better off working as a deck hand on a Japanese whaler
than for those crooks at BlackSand.
And look at yourself …
I try to look sharp when we are out on the road …
And what do you and that suit have going on, the duffle bag press?
Just tell me you are not sleeping in your car.
Better yet, go inside, take a shower …
and crash on the couch.
You are about to drive me crazy …
And we ain’t showing up in Valleyview with you looking like that.
Eh … Shut It … Don’t say nothing and go on inside.
Do as I told you … Dangit Boy!”
Friends … If I wasn’t thoroughly convinced Curtis was really a changed man,
I might just have to sneak in there and hide his shovel
so Sherman doesn’t end up as fertilizer.
And to think about it … Adele ain’t had nothing to do with any of this.
Lord Child … Hahahaha!
To Be Continued …
