Au claire de la lune

TONY
“Did you see Bruce today?”

PHILIP
“Who?”

TONY
“Come on, you know the guy I’m talking about. He had the scraggly beard and was shouting inside Alternative Grounds and pressing doorbells. You know the guy I’m talking about?”

PHILIP
“Yup. What happened to him? He seemed totally out-of-it the last time I saw him.”

TONY
“Well, he got himself cleaned up, got his beard shaved and everything. You know, what he told me was that he finally went down to the St. Joe’s and asked for some help and they actually gave it to him. If you ask me, I didn’t think he had it in him. Shows you what I know.”

“Anyway, believe it or not, I gave the guy a loonie; he really needed it.”

    Hmmm. Tony can spare a loonie for someone who needs it more than him yet a huge portion of our population that make a decent living don’t even think about donating to anything anytime. I find that very interesting. Good on ya Tony!

    A loonie is the dollar coin with the loon on the back. Loon = Loonie

    Hello from London, guys.
    I miss seeing you at AG every day.
    Glad to hear Bruce cleaned himself up.
    I didn’t think he had it in him, either… although he *did* quote some interesting stuff from time to time. I guess you can’t quote interesting stuff if you don’t know interesting stuff.
    Everybody’s got a little bit of cool in them.
    Keep on rockin’.
