Mom? Women are tempted?
But with as much as she has
to travel with her books,
if either of us had to worry
about that, where would we be?
Has Nikki been tempted too?
We’re married, of course.
That is a stronger commitment
than living together. Although
Nikki would probably argue that.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
For Nikki, living together meant
every bit as much as having a piece
of paper giving us the legal right.
I still have no idea what my next
move should be. How can I make
this up to her? Dad puts the roast
into the oven. Washes some big
potatoes. Wraps them in foil.
“Do you ever wonder where
you would be if you hadn’t met
Mom? She told me once that when
you first met, your dream was
to be the next Johnny Carson….”
I didn’t know who that was, so I looked
him up. He was pretty famous back then.
“Does it bother you that you’re not
a late-night TV host? Or that Mom got
to be the famous one instead of you?”
He keeps working but laughs softly.
