Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for April 29, 2010
Transcript:
Baldo: Why do you like playing bingo so much, Tia Carmen? Tia Carmen: Well, it keeps my mind young! Tia Carmen: It keeps my body moving! It keeps my reflexes sharp! Baldo: What about winning? Tia Carmen: Ha! don't make me laugh! The only people who win are related to the announcer! Baldo: So it keeps you cynical, too. Tia Carmen: Cheaters!
Ah, sorry. Now that I can connect it with the song (great song, too), I’ll remember that. Perhaps the extra “T” I put in your name is the one that I left out of “buuterfly”…
If we met daily, we’d probably end up at each other’s throats (cats and coyotes don’t mix well); I can be pretty…intense when I’m engaged. One of my best friends is a guy I used to meet once a week for coffee and philosophy; our approaches and histories were similar enough that we could communicate, but our differences led to some fascinating arguments. However, anything more than about 90 minutes every 7 days was too draining. Since he moved to Amsterdam about 2 years ago, though, I haven’t had anybody to fill the role, a hard enough stone against which to properly sharpen my knives… Sigh.
