Yesterday (Thursday), Jimmy came to Jaha's to pick me up to spend 2 days with him and Jackie. Janice and Jaha came in from thir shopping trip to greet Jimmy and me at the kitchen table. I powered up Jaha's laptop in front of me, and clicked onto jahasworld.blogspot.com. Then, clicked onto the entry titled, "Dear Jimmy." Showed it to Jimmy, and he acknowledged that yes, Jaha's lawn did indeed look good.
Jaha scooted me out of my seat at the laptop, shook her fingers like a maestro about to play Beethoven's 5th Symphony on the piano, busted out in that Robin Reed grin, and said to the three of us, "I'm going to interview Jimmy now." I said, "You can't do that now. Jimmy and I are outta here." (Yes, I was indeed anxious to get to Jimmy's liquor cabinet and poolside and music.) She and Janice said almost in tandem, "It won't take long. Jimmy is not you or Don. He already knows the answers. And there are no questions." So, I had to yield. As Janice and I made our separate exits so they could do their interview, I heard Jaha's first question to Jimmy, and his response" J* Jimmy, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking of life at 2060 Orange Ave?" (I may not be quoting verbatim). To which Jimmy answered without batting an eye, without taking a second to think abiout it, "It was crowded and organized."
As I stepped out the back door onto my balcony office, I said a silent "wow"
Later today, I called Jaha to ask if she had posted on her blog, Jimmy's interview. I wanted to show Jimmy, when he got home from work today, how to access Jaha's blog, and to let him read his interview. I wanted him to see the power and love of Jaha's interview technique; and the illumination cast upon him by Jaha's artistic prism. But, since last night was Jaha's and Janice's first night together without me as a third peg, she obviously squandered the evening away relishing in Janice's company. (Hint: the last thing I heard them say as Jimmy and I were making our exit, was "We gotta get to the stor. We are out of Merlot.") So Jimmy's interview won't be posted until, when Jaha? Tonight as I type this? Tomorrow night...nope, tomorrow night is designated by Janice to be "Taco Blog Nite" You aren't going to put it off until after Janice and I leave on Monday are you? I know you better than that.
