Jackie seemed pleased, and it is something to try, and if it works, could provide a new revenue stream for the Village. It is at least something to try before we have to confront the prospect of clipping the Raven’s wings and locking him down.
 
I thought about that option for Sturmer, too, as I finished my brief remarks to the Board about the pool. Then I said I had a little water that pooled on my balcony, too, and so long as they were being so generous to the residents, I might be able to use $5,000 myself.
 
The President actually smiled at me as I sat down. They say irony has been lost in this world, but I don’t think so.
 
I checked the mail this morning, still a little fuzzy after the late night imposed by the meeting. I got a note from an old pal whose Mom just made it all the way to confinement, since she had developed the same penchant for wanderlust that the Raven has.
 
She said given the inevitable path we seem to be going down, and the way we all depart this world, she was thinking about taking up smoking again. I considered that Raven also has a predilection to remove his clothing when upset, which could remove the tag. He is a clever old bird, even if not completely himself after all.
 
I lit up a Lucky, and decided to hope for the best.
