That Old Cape Magic
“Hed allowed himself to drift off too early the night before. On the heels of wakefulness came an unpleasant realization, that what he hadnt wanted to admit yesterday, even to himself, was now all too clear in the solitary, predawn dark. He should have swallowed his petulance and waited the extra day for Joy.
It had been their long-established habit to flee the campus as soon as Griffin taught his last class. Usually, they hopped on the Freedom Trail (his term for I-95), drove to New York ...and treated themselves by checking into a good hotel. During the day he would evaluate his small mountain of student portfolios while Joy shopped or otherwise amused herself, and then, evenings, theyd catch up on movies and go to restaurants. The whole thing reminded him of the early years of their marriage back in L.A. It cost a small fortune, but there was something about spending money they didnt really have that made him optimistic about more coming inwhich was how it had worked in L.A.and it got him through the portfolios.MoreLess
