THOUGHTS FROM THE DEEP END WITH MISS JULIE’S POOL BOY, 8s & 9s: This rainy Saturday, Miss Julie is heading to Nashville with the girls for a shower celebrating impending nuptials & thereby leaving the Pool Boy unsupervised to ponder a tattoo sleeve & a chemical dependency to jump start his chef side hustle to global superstardom or at least to fame in Ringgold while binge watching Jonny Quest armed with a twin pack of Vienna sausages, a can of Spam, & his favorite cheese curls picked up on a late Friday run to the corner Everything’s Not A Dollar Anymore. He also dropped an extra George at the corner on an impulse buy, a card to keep the home fires burning while Miss Julie is gone so she can fend off any cowboy on Broadway that thinks he has a chance of replacing MJPB. Pausing the TV as Race Bannon saves the Quest clan again, this time from giant komodo dragons, the Pool Boy escorted Miss Julie under an umbrella to her waiting chariot. Opening the door, he presented the card & reminded Miss Julie he was the only one for her, to which Miss Julie replied, “yes you are, all before you were 8s & 9s”.
