Day 33. I ride along in a haze, a haze caused by drunkenness. Drunkenness caused by myself to mask withdrawal. The combination of the two blurs my vision as we drive past the park giving the scene the feel of a painting, maybe Matisse or an early Sharon Ramsey. The air blows in the window - cool but humid. Progeny coos from the back seat as My Love expertly handles the difficult left turn off Rachel across the oncoming traffic and two bike lanes. Even though the block is long, and we are tired, we grab the first available spot having learned the ways of the neighborhood. We abandon Car and after coaxing Progeny from her seat, she too abandons Car. We stroll up the block as a happy unit. I drunk on beer, Progeny on bocce ball and chips, My Love on lack of sleep. We pass the empty parking spots closer to our rooms without comment, without even the thought that we could have been closer. Yes, we have learned our lessons.
