I handed Deb a pork-filled tortilla, slathered with mayo and mustard the way she ordered it. She tore the top part of it off like a mother lion shredding a wildebeest. I raised an eyebrow. She glowered.

I threw up a hand. “It’s your food.”

She was sitting in bed, at 2:30, swaddled in a blanket because she was cold.

So I told her: “A thousand people just called me to say they liked my last column.”

She said: ”You mean one person called and you multiplied by a thousand?”

“Yes. But Dad said that is what you are supposed to do. When one person calls to comment on something in the paper, 999 thought about it but just didn’t follow through. That’s an old rule in the newspaper business.”

“Who was it,” she asked.

A woman, named ‘Jerry’  Or maybe ‘Jeri.” Anyway, she loves the paper. And  said I should write more often.
