It is a day of prophetic visions and startling communications. I read enviously,, though I admit without full comprehension, Gaugie and Flicker's posts. I felt so left out, because it was obvious that this was really important stuff, deep, packed with symbolism and possibly containing the answers to the meaning of life and that they understood it all and so would the Beatles, and I knew nothing. And then you undergo what can only be described, even by a doubter, as a religious experience-perhaps even a conversion. And me..well-the high point of my day-and I know that it means something if someone will just help me to understand-was when I finally found my cup of coffee which had irresponsibly wandered away, and finding it cold, walked over to the microwave. One minute should do it, I thought, and I stood there watching the little red countdown, sipping my cold coffee. When the timer went off, I sipped again and realized the coffee was still cold. Was the microwave broken? No--I had been standing there drinking the cold coffee and heating an empty microwave. I find this behavior, even for me, extremely unusual, even bizarre. CW came in and got the leftover pizza from the frig and came over to the microwave. "Are you done?" he asked. I looked at the microwave and then at my cold coffee. "Yes, I think I am." "I'm gonna heat up the pizza," he said. "Well, I don't think it's working unless you put the pizza in the microwave" I said. And walked away.
