                          Betty’s hamburger was unusually dry

considering it was the middle of July

                                            [leans back in chair]

what does that have to do with …. ?

                                           [clicking the mouse]

hmmm …..

was that the riddle of July?

no

it couldn’t be

but then again ….

It might be

what if she played her fiddle in July

would Howard  griddle in July?

howard :

                        Eve, the pancakes are ready

                                             [Eve smiles]

                        alright Howard

                        i’ll be down in a second

                                           [logs out]

                                          [at breakfast]

howard :

                        so how did your meeting at Middle Tennessee State go?

                        did they give your proposal a try?

                        i was talking to this girl from Embry Riddle and she said ….


                                   {hearing the word proposal

                        made Eve remember the day she heard Howard’s proposal}

howard :

                        anyway, so i told her ......


                        {did he have to make her cry?

                        he was such a sweet guy

                        think of it Eve

                        we could live in the middle of Oregon

                        or even Riddle, Oregon

                        i could get a job teaching middle school and …



                       but she never did reply}



                       Eve … ? …..  Eve ….. ?

eve :

                       i’m sorry what were you saying

                       i must have been daydreaming again

howard :

                       your meeting at Middle Tennessee State

                       how did it go?

eve :

                       oh that

                       i think they’re still in the middle of deciding

                       can you imagine it?

                       me .... in the middle of presiding!!!

                       it would be great Eve

eve :

                       so,  what about you

                       you’re looking spry this morning

howard :

                       i’m feeling spry

eve :

                       what's this?

howard :

                       open it …

                       Eve opens the box

                       wow!!!!!!!!!!

                       another Riddle

                       thank you Howard

howard :

                       don’t thank me yet

                       you feel like getting wet?

                                      [handing Eve the brochure]

                       Cabo San Lucus!!!!!!!!!

                       you won the bet!!!!!!

howard :

                                           of course





                                                                                                    love,

                                                                                                    eve & howard
