Thinking of something is the hard part.

Nelson’s brain is just a vast wasteland!

Cue wind whistling…….

Random Bev pic. When IS she coming home?

Wait, there’s more!

There are days when words just fail you.And then there are the days when you have no idea what the ▇ she’s talking about

Well, at least she talks to you!

Sorry, Susan , did you say something?

X… no.

Try baseball, Nelson. Everybody likes baseball.

Conversation ends when he talks about what he thinks.

Maybe a thinking cap will help.

My internet connection keeps going out tonight….and my brain is aimlessly wandering.Gonna give up and go to bed.You’re sure it’s OK, Fenton?Sid can stay another hour or so.Thanks.Rose, that excitable little apple-y grapey thing(??)… is… er… it’s …um….well… I’ll just say it’s truly Bev-worthy. Liverlips… except me, apparently. And Coyoty… that cap…it might not generate any thinking but it’s a conversation-starter all on its own.

Nelson’s not in the mood for conversation What’s wrong with sitting in silence? She has her paper to read. Yes, Rose, truly Bev worthy pictures. I love the little apple.

Monkey! You don’t need to scrub floors…Dimitri scrubs the floors….

Well, OK, Dimitri mops the floors…and it’s your bar….
