i overhear my mother's morning prayers through her bedroom door... she prays for my sister to find a good husband now that ricardo & her are apart; she prays for godfrey's health & my well-being. i scuttle off when my sister bustles past...

carol leaves after work but i abandon her (i usually accompany her to fetch er eldest, sean from the train station) to stay on & play on the library ‘puters.
