David and I were on the phone last night and I had just told him something (deeply personal and very meaningful, but no matter) and there was silence at his end of the line because he was distracted by a tv ad for a freakin' big box store. He started to describe it to me.
"Oh, is that the one with the woman who wants to be her daughters' hero because she can put up shelves now?"
"No, but there's a lot of soft focus and people wandering around outside. There is a woman."
"Oh, is that the one with the woman who wants to be her daughters' hero because she can put up shelves now?"
"No, but there's a lot of soft focus and people wandering around outside. There is a woman."
"Oh! Does she have lots of red hair?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah. That's Sue. She moved into the building a few years ago and the garden was sad and desolate so she went to the store and got lots of gardening advice and bought lots of gardening stuff. The garden has turned their apartment complex into a home."
Dialogue reconstructed from my rather poor memory for that sort of thing because who the hell takes notes when she's on the phone chatting with her Man?

Ok, who is that aimed at? The FBI? Just in case the official transcript doesn't match your account?
No, David, just in the his memory doesn't match what I typed. He can be brutal.
