“Still raining, Twiggy.”
“Means I’m going to hunker down right here.”
“We have that tent out there, which means we won’t get wet.”
“But it is still chilly.”
“Yeah, that’s true. By the way, why does Dad have his underwear in a bunch?”
“Don’t worry. He’s just launching a new book is all.”
“Hasn’t he done that before?”
“Yeah, like eight times. But he gets into the same bunch with each one.”
“You would think he would get used to it.”
“I heard him telling Mom about the tour schedule, which will impact us.”
“What do you mean? Are we getting a vacation?”
“No, but Dad is switching us to Saturday. He will do posts during the week highlighting the tour hosts and always hates running two posts daily.”
“So he has no tour stops on the weekends?”
“That’s right. So we will be on Saturday the 8th instead of Thursday the 6th, and his regular Views of the Neighborhood will run Sundays.”
“How long will this go on?”
“The first stop is Saturday, February 1st. The last will be on the 26th. A total of fifteen stops.”
“You know. I think I’m going to join you. All that information made my head hurt.”
“This is much better than trying to battle the rain, don’t you think?”
“ZZZZZzaz”
