At My Very Own Desk

"A king fortifies himself with a castle”, observed the Count, “a gentleman with a desk.”--Amor Towles, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW
The heat of the moment is still the O.J. Simpson murder of his wife. Last month (on the 8th of July to be exact) there was a six-day preliminary hearing that ended with Judge Kathleen Kennedy-Powell ruling there is sufficient evidence for O.J. to stand trial on two counts of first-degree murder.   On July 22nd O.J. pleaded 100% not guilty to the charges. 
Mom arrived for an L.A. visit and while I went to work Alan and mom were glued to the latest with the O.J. scoop.  It was all over the media nationwide.   The latest for this week was that the Defense council for O.J. filing a motion for the personnel records of Detective Mark Fuhrman.  I guess they’re looking for any ‘dirt’ they can find on him.   
Alan and mom filled me in on the O.J. case whenever I called home for an update.  I was busy at my CHARLES SCHWAB & CO. desk; however, I’d rather be at home at my very own desk (one of my favorite places to be with my music).  
Ashley sent a duo letter for me and mom.  That was so genius of her.  How on earth did she come up with that idea?   I loved how she did it.  On the outside of the envelope she specifically wrote:  DO NOT OPEN TILL VIRGINIA ARRIVES!  Ha-ha... 
I’m thinking of spilling the beans soon.  Mom still has no clue that she’s leaving for New York City on September 2nd. 
Never wait for things to happen, just do. --A. C. Ping in his book “BE”
