As the music throbbed electrically and pulsated I was running laps in the finishing part of aerobic dance class. The instructor’s voice kept calling out the steps.A quick sip from the water bottle.

One meeting was at the law office.I asked for a drink of cold water.I was given a mug with the inscription “Life is a bitch and then you die.“Using an electrolarynx I communicated to the lawyers, “This is a horrible idea.I want to smash this mug and buy you a different one with a better slogan.” … something’s wrong, something’s wrong, something’s wrong.
