JULY
WEDNESDAY, July 1 â I had trouble getting out of my bedroom this morning. No, I wasnât sleeping in; the damn door wouldnât open. It was binding along the top. Eventually, I yanked hard on the knob and the door popped open. So I sat on my bed and phoned Luco.
âAre any other doors sticking?â she asked.
âNot that I know of, darling. Is this normal?â
âPerfectly normal, Nick. Iâll get a hand plane and swing by on my way to work. Or is this just a ploy to lure me into your bedroom?â
âNo, but thatâs not a bad idea. Should I tell my dad about the door?â
âBetter not, Nick. We donât want him freaking out again.â
âIâll say I invited you to breakfast. So be prepared to eat with us.â
âNot a problem. When Iâm working, I eat like a horse.â
Being a native, she came the fast way via Mulholland and Roscomare. She downed half a cantaloup and several large slices of Leftyâs savory quiche. Probably more expensive to feed than my other marriage prospects.
Teejay attempted to cop another feel, but he does that with all the girls. I think that kid needs to be locked in a room with Maya Chan for 24 hours. It might do them both a world of good.
Dad proudly showed Luco the âmacerator awareness signsâ heâs posted in all the bathrooms. Banned from flushing are feminine products, wipes and towelettes, hair, cigarette butts, and âforeign matterâ of all types. Small type at the bottom adds: âIf in doubt, do NOT flush it!â
âVery good,â said Luco. âPeople shouldnât take plumbing for granted.â
âI just hope the bastards mind the signs,â sighed Dad.
Down in the privacy of my bedroom Luco shaved off a bit from the top corner of the door.
âYou wield that plane like a pro,â I said. âHow come the door was sticking?â
âMostly itâs our California weather.â
âHowâs that?â
âNo rain in summer. Not for months. The sun beats down, our clay soil dries out, it shrinks, and houses settle a bit. Voila, sticking doors. Is your room always this neat?â
âPretty much. We could mess it up a bit, if you like.â
âSome other time, tiger. Iâm late for work.â
I settled for a kiss and Lucoâs second feel of the morning. Such a great antidote to the lingering Maya trauma from yesterday.
Before the day got too hot, I took a long walk down our road. I noted down in my phone all the addresses with on-street parking places. Most were quite a jog from our place. Up the road from our house is only one other house, which straddles the crest of the hill. Itâs behind a tall stone wall and a fancy iron gate that closes off the road. No place to park or even turn a car around. Lefty says itâs occupied by a reclusive actress who made her last movie in 1974. Perhaps itâs Gloria Swanson waiting with her dead monkey for Bill Holden to show up. Sheâs probably pissed that we moved in next door.
I emailed the addresses with the parking places to everyone on the burgeoning guest list.
