A little spontaneity was the perfect intermission between coming home from work frustrated and then after dinner taking the first step of dealing with that frustration. LeRoy’s name came up in our dinner conversation and Abbie said she remembered a really funny joke she heard him tell several years ago. She didn’t remember the joke—just that it was really funny. It had something to do with two men in a bar discovering they were related—maybe even brothers. Cindy decided we should give LeRoy a call and see if he might be able to retrieve the joke. He’s traveling now, but that just added to the fun randomness of the call. We got a joke about two men in a bar, but I don’t think it was the one Abbie can’t remember. We also got a healthy break from the ordinary and predictable.
