Dreams Under the Sun
♠
The day is glorious. The sun came out early, and it looks for real this time, with the temperature idling in the perfect low-seventies. This is the first time in a long while that the sun has been a problem hurting Monk's eyes, reminding him that sunglasses are not just a cool luxury.
On the afternoon rounds, Monk was tempted to take a walk, even though he does not have any bread. He is due for a shower. If he were more his own man, he probably would have taken that walk and just had a very late snack and putting off dinner until even later in the evening. Ah, what thoughts of freedom!
I cannot leave it at that. Let's dream a little better. If Monk were his own man, he would have held off on that walk for another hour or so, and then he would walk to that Chinese restaurant that serves a passable chicken fried rice for dinner, and then take the bus home. You see, the car would have been left behind in favor of exercise. And I guess the current girlfriend, the flavor of the month, is out of town this weekend, leaving Monk to rough it a little.
