Tony told me on the phone, today, that he had given up drinking.  ”Except for the beers I threw up,” he said.

He told me a story about his wife, Becky, designing “Ass Pads” which would allow people to reuse towels.    I said that no truly feminine woman would re-use such a towel,  even if a man put an “Ass Pad” on before toweling off.

I told Tony that i was working on a cartoon character called “Mega Shit Bird”  based on our mutual friend.    He said, “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”
