PERSPECTIVE

The evening had been an ordinary one with nothing to distinguish it from any other. Dinnor and the dishes were dispensed with the chores having been shared. This was our agreement 50-50 in everything, though sometimes it was 60-40 in my favor.

Amid sounds from the TV, Sherrin and I began a discussion which had become typical and seemed to fit in with the rest of what was fast becoming a mediocre life or 30 WO thought. As we sat talking, the phone rang. This had become a source of invasion into our evening reverie. The usual gossip "How is your job?"...(rotten)..."Did you hear about Toni?...Sho slapped Sandra in front of everyone Saturday night!...(no, I hadn't heard and furthermore, I didn't care.) But these people wore our "friends" (a word ad all too loosely) and I must be nice, if only for Sherrin's sake. After I hung up, we began talking again about our "friends," our jobs, the noisy tenants upstairs. These discussions usually turned out the same, leaving us disgusted and no closer to a solution than before. This one was no exception, and we were more anxious than ever to rid ourselves of such problems and "fly away to the land of sunshine and opportunity."
