It Takes A Man To Cry

David Sedaris broke into tears tonight. He'd just finished watching the season finale of The Sopranos 4th season. I offered him a kleenex, but he asked for a towel instead. He wept quietly while I strummed the guitar and smoked cigarillos.

I told him rain likes company.

TV shows on DVD are so addictive! Near-instant gratification. Cliff-hangers are a thing of the past. Whew. I watched 66 Alias episodes last Spring. And didn't you just start Season One of the Sopranos this Winter?

Addictive!

Can I come over and meet him? I'll bring a meatloaf and some mashed potatoes. That's a manly meal, isn't it?

Your buddy David is the cover story on the latest issue of the Northwest Airlines "World Traveler" magazine.

The interview is silent on the subject of his current sojourn to St. Paul....

David Oppegaard said...

You're right, Becca. Very addictive indeed.

Michele, Mr. Sedaris is still weeping quietly. You don't want to meet him in such a condition. Please leave the meatloaf dinner on my doorstep, if you must.

Rand, that was a great article. And that picture of us playing tether ball together was fabulous.

Rand said...

Ummm... I don't know how to break this to you, but I don't think the technical term for what's going on in that picture is "tetherball"....

Voix said...

No meet, no meatloaf. Sorry, babe.

You guys should come over here some night. I just froze some walleye I bought at Rainbow Fresh that I could dethaw and fry up.

David Oppegaard said...

Mmm. dethawed walleye! I'll ask Sedaris.

Welcome to Blogagaard, Moncrief!

Thanks! You've got a nice blog here.

How is that "thaw" and "dethaw" describe more or less the same process? Ask Sedaris if he knows.

Considering that I'm going to pick the last disk from Season 4 within the next couple of days, should I grab a box of kleenex while I'm out?

I think someone dies at some poiint during that season of The Sopranos. Not sure though.

David Oppegaard said...

yes, get tissues, but not because of a death...
