It’s 3:00 AM. Dart has just finished writing a letter to Mr. Kershner, asking that he be relieved of his duties on the publicity committee for the fundraising effort at the church. He has been unable to cut classes to attend the meetings and he sees no chance that will change in the future.  Since he’s done none of the work, he feels he should get none of the credit. Such integrity!

Like last night, tonight was a slow one at work. The managers have Elsie (whoever she is)  scared enough to do her own work, and they have the copy boys scared enough not to do any of Elsie’s work, so their work is cut in half.

At a visit today, they found Pop greatly improved. He’s able to walk around a lot, although he’s still not allowed to stray far from the ward. He seemed happy and chipper, especially when he learned that Kathleen wasn’t with them.

Dart has some Spanish to learn, and as much as he’d like to continue this visit with her, he needs to “shake up this bag of bones and get moving.”

He wanted so badly to come home to her tonight that when he found that she wasn’t there, he had to put his hand on the couch to make sure.
