Ok, maybe not of fire. First, let me apologize for not keeping up with the “A Day in the Life…” section of this site for a few months. I guess I was too busy.
Anyway, today, at approx. 5:49 ante meridian, EST, I was driving in my new truck when I noticed the front left wheel stat wobbling. I pulled over andas I came to a stop on the rough ground of the should, the wheel FELL the fuck OFF! After calling my boss and the police and a tow truck, I became livid. I just bought the thing 4 days ago. Granted, it was used, but it was from a dealer with a good reputation that sells new and used cars. Luckily I didn’t miss work because of the rain. Everyone went home.
I had to laugh, though, at my luck. It seems in the last month or so, nothing has gone right for me. Instead of getting too down about it (I’d kill myself if I let all my woes seep into my thoughts) I laugh now. Maybe I’ve gone insane. I don’t know. But I remid myselfof the line in the old Sinatra classic “Young at Heart.” The one I speak says, “You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.” They’re falling apart, Frankie. And I am laughing.
