When the Sacred Ginmill Closes
“I called Syosset first, talked with Anita and the boys. I talked with her about money, saying I'd collected a fee and would be sending some soon. I talked with my sons about baseball, and about the camp they'd be goingto soon.
I called Skip at Miss Kitty's. Someone else answered the phone and I held while they summoned him.
"I want to get together with you," he said. "I'm working tonight. You want to come by afterward?" "All right." "What time is it now?Ten to nine? I've been on less than two h...ours? Feels like five. Matt, what I'll do, I'll close up around two. Come by then and we'll have a few." * * * I watched the Mets. They were out of town.Chicago, I think. I kept my eyes on the screen but I couldn't keep my mind on the game.
There was a beer left over from the night before. I sipped at it during the game, but I couldn't work up much enthusiasm for it, either. After the game ended I watched about half of the newscast, then turned the set off and stretched out on the bed.
I had a paperback edition of The Lives of the Saints, and at one point I looked up Saint Veronica.MoreLess
