This is something Harold has been wondering about every since he woke up on the side walk in front of the Midnight Massage Parlor back in ā45. Then thereās that fellow Undercover MonkeyBlue always poking into his business. And x_Tech, looks at him kinda sideways, with a just the slightest upturn at the corner of his mouth. Someone knows something, but what?And there are some things he just canāt bring himself to share with Gloria.
Unbeknowst to Gloria, Haroldās dossier has been sealed since ā64ā¦ So many coincidental near misses, the iron curtain tunnel, those missing pictures from Dallasā¦ And what about those Soviet satellite blueprintsā¦??? Incidents never revealed to those not priviledged to such information. Things and places not known to Gloria during their 47 years of comfy marriage. She was attracted to his European accent, but sometimes it was missing while talking in his sleep, and avoided discussing his āwork dayā with occasional trepidation and deference. He was always generous, almost too much, for someone on his salary at the Ballard Street Appliance World & Repairā¦ his double padlocked workshop in the basement is off limitsā¦ "Bahā¦ Thereās nothing in there that is of interest to you.." he would scoldā¦ And what of those occasional unmarked packages that he would pick up on the front porch only on months that ended in Yā¦ Today is the day, after paying a private investigator (a rather handsome and polite one at that) what little she could squirrel away from her allowance, nice of him to refund his feeā¦ his final report was shockingā¦!!! Her husband doesnāt EXISTā¦ In ANY file or record, and this inspector was the BESTā¦ Well today is the day for answersā¦ and Gloria will get some.. If itās the last thing she doesā¦
Oh myā¦. I seem to be missing too.Has anybody seen me? Cos I donāt quite know what I did with myselfā¦.. sighā¦..I was right here on Ballard Streetā¦.MONKEY! Help!Ohā¦.. waitā¦. here I am!
ā¦. sighā¦.anyway, I want to apologise for disappearing, right in the middle of so much preparation for Sundayā¦
Iāll have to catch up on everything tomorrow. I obviously came home very tired.Iām afraid I canāt help Harold find himself or Gloria find Harold while I can barely find myself.Perhaps in the morningā¦I meanā¦. I know it IS morningā¦.in the comicsā¦ butā¦.. Meanwhile I am very glad that the astute and knowing x_Tech and the (by his own admission) handsome and polite Undercover Monkey are on the trail.I feel so safe on Ballard Street.(Well, unless you guys get into Dogsniffās brownies.)
Good memory, Beviek, from yesterdayā¦. I do work at a farmerās market on Wednesday nightsā¦. I still have no speakers, but that little porcupine was adorable anywayā¦. but corn in May?Sorryā¦. not yet.I would, however, be happy to color Gloriaās hair.Hope she can wait till next week, thoughā¦.StelBel is sending so many out-of-town clients weāll barely finish before the parade.(Remind me to send her some roses as a thank you. Shhhhā¦. donāt tell her.)
And speaking of secretsā¦. shhhhā¦..pssstā¦.. Monkey?
Psssstā¦. MonkeyBlues?In re your posts after I left this afternoā¦ I mean yesterdayā¦My goodness, I wasnāt offendedā¦. I was terribly pleased and flattered!Especially when you rang my chiā¦ erā¦. bells.My cowbellsā¦thatās itā¦. my cowbells.Thank you.
Tomorrowā¦. er, later todayā¦. OK, Thursday afternoon I hope to get back to important things like writing lyrics and mulling the identity of Haroldā¦
In the evidence locker at the station, and assortment of international passports with Haroldās photo in each of them, which I was not looking for (I know I had no business snooping around, but I just needed to retrieve Essex90"s dehydrator and his chainsaw, jerky being extremely popular among the out-of-town guests at SCHAABS).
Has anyone seen my yodeling aardvark ? I was going to loan him to beviak for the festivities in case she couldnāt book Teddy. He must have gone of on one of his self-discovery trips again.
<sent from IMBās iPhone>Headin out of town on my way to meet with a āmoleā that may have some clues as to a certain āperson of interestā whereaboutsā¦ (donāt get yer hopes up, heās VERY unreliable)ā¦ and I noticed that the crew of volunteer carpenters from the BS Local 37 (and 5/8ths) have completed the setup of our surplus Yurts that we are going to use as vendor tents, comfort stations and parade staging tentsā¦. along the parade routeā¦
problem isā¦. theyāre 3 MILES SOUTH OF TOWNā¦ can somebody please get over there and tell the foreman (Frank I think is his name) the bad newsā¦. duhā¦!!
Iām on a borrowed PC right now, as weāve been having connection problems today. Hopefully, weāll be back to what passes as normal sometime tomorrow, at least I hope so. What a time to have these problems, what with the parade on Sunday, a full hotel, and all the internet orders to process, not to mention the one-horse pony express canāt pass a mirror or shop window without pausing and posingā¦Poor Alvin Aard. I thought he was a little depressed because the colors werenāt as vibrant as heād hoped, but heās crushed that he canāt be in the parade festivities. Why, heās little more than Argyle Sweaterās indentured servant. Isnāt there something that can be done???Wouldnāt you know thereās going to be an onomatopoeic orgy (linguist, I hope you spelled that correctly, because I copied you ā havenāt had to spell that word since high school!), and I can be there! I hope someone will at least do a video!Well, I must run! Hopefully, Iāll be able to check in sometime in the morning. Can someone please make sure that everything is quiet at SCHAABS? I would so appreciate it!
Whoooops! āWouldnāt you know thereās going to be an onomatopoeic orgy (linguist, I hope you spelled that correctly, because I copied you ā havenāt had to spell that word since high school!), and I can be there!

Harold is used to Gloriaās lack of short term memory. He knows he doesnāt have to answer her because she never can stay angry very long.
