This morning, I had a pleasant surprise. Sophia sends me a photo of herself at work, taken with her cellphone. I called her a half hour later, telling her I have a surprise for her in return.
Neil: “Sofotchka, cute photo! I made a post out of it for the blog. Check it out. It’s in draft.”
Sophia goes into my “manage” area of WordPress to look at the post. It looks something like this:
Thursday Morning, 8AM, Los Angeles –
Thursday Morning, 8AM, New York –
Sophia: “Uh, I don’t get it.”
Neil: “It’s supposed to be romantic. It’s like we’re 3000 miles apart, but I’m still dreaming about you in bed.”
Sophia: “Huh? You’re really losing it. No one is going to get that.”
Neil: “No?’
Sophia: “What it actually looks more like is, “Look here. Sophia is awake and is already hard at work as a Russian Dialect Coach early in the morning while I’m still in bed lying around.”"
Neil: “Why would I write a post like that?”
Sophia: “I have no idea. That’s why I was confused.”
Neil: “It’s supposed to be romantic.”
Sophia: “Well, thank you. But how old is that photo of you? It doesn’t even look like you.”
Neil: “A few years.”
Sophia: “A few years? At least five or six. You don’t have one white hair on your head. Are you trying to fool your readers?”
Neil: “No, I just needed a photo of me sleeping. I’m supposed to be dreaming about you, remember?!”
Sophia: “I remember this photo. This is like SEVEN years ago. I took it while you were sleeping… of your tush. You’re obsessed with this naked thing! What is this — a porno blog now?”
Neil: “It’s supposed to be romantic!”
Sophia: “Email me this photo. I forgot all about it.”
Neil: “No.”
Sophia: “Now you’re shy?”
Neil: “I don’t feel romantic anymore.”
Sophia: “Aw, come on. You flirt with every girl on the blogosphere, but won’t send your own (separated) wife a photo of your tush.”
Neil: “OK, here…”
I email the photo to Sophia. She starts laughing.
Neil: “What’s so funny?”
Sophia: “Forget about your gray hairs. Your ass doesn’t look like that anymore, either!”
