Electric train adventure. The doctor, the four year old, the art director for a tv show about a restaurant everybody likes. Also the one about firefighters nobody admits they like but apparently lots of people watch. Passenger in the corner in the upper deck, comfortable like he lives there. Previously undiscovered suburb. Legend from the old days, a brewery in a train station. Oh yep that's it right there. Pick us up by the THAIRapy place. Heard tell of, sure. Folks like it down around here. Our friends like it down around here. Stately brick house on a lot of land. What do you know about those neighbors? The woman was a genius, the guy was in a war, built the house himself. Your children are older than they were before, I say, it's funny how that works. Sorry in domestic settings I feel like I'm flopping on the tile with my gills out. Health news, stuff we hadn't heard about. Wow man that's a whole thing isn't it. Yep sure is. It's so dark at night is the only thing, someone says. You should buy a telescope. That's a great idea. You can see the stars out here. There's value in that. Speaking with authority I walk my face into a tree. Long ride back in the dark and we discuss politics, finances, the issues around owning property. I don't know what any of that is like but I'd like to. I thought you came back to fight. So did I. I don't even know how to start.
