I was inhaling the best pain au chocolat that had ever been baked while Blag hoovered up an eggy train- wreck-on-a-plate when my phone buzzed. Okay, you know it’s the brand new ultra-cool one, etc.
Hey Mac, it’s Rudee I’m on sail on the chip.
I assumed that meant “ship” and texted him back.
Hi Rudee how r u & Sashay?
We are waving.
This could mean many things. Was it auto correct or a Rudee-ism?
At CAFTA with Blag, he says hi.
Lying seemed so much more harmless in a text.
Are you a navy gator?
I thought about this for a minute. Navigator, it had to be.
Yes!!! Blag is a gr8 trainer!
Blag looked up from his breakfast.
“It’s Rudee. He’s on the cruise ship.”
“Did he bring his own beets?”
“As a matter of fact …”
The food is for birds so I give it to them. I brought my own.
R u having fun?
We went to Pompous yesterday. Big fire place!
Pompeii. Cool!
Yes. And bowling and playing with the cruise control band while Sashay reads for tunes.
Fortunes, I figured. K Rudee <3 to Sashay
Be cart full at the rally Mac!
Yes, I’ll be very cart full, I thought.
