In the morning I tried to leave without calling my sisters which my mother viewed as a duty every time I stopped by home. Lucy was easy. I caught her at her Washington, D.C., office where she worked on some sort of antipoverty program, a decided improvement over her music groupie period. I ineptly suggested that she have a baby at which I got an ear-burning lecture, including the fact that I as a hopeless sociopath should avoid giving advice. I unluckily got Marianne who lived near Lawrence, Kansas, with what I suspected was an honest-to-God girlfriend though my mother didn’t have an inkling of this. I was on a roll so suggested a baby to Marianne which only drew forth a long silence, not counting barking dogs in the background. Finally she said, “Oh fuck you” and suggested if I finally was in the mood to help the family I could try to retrieve the two hundred grand that mother had lent to her art dealer buddy, adding details. This took my breath away and I lamely asked how? She said since I’d always been good at violence I could “threaten to drown the cocksucker.” I said I didn’t have time today but would think the project over.
