Bi-Focal View Of The Day

I.

Today my father had his colonoscopy. They found a malignant lesion and a "large obstructing mass." That large obstructing mass has to be taken out of there pronto. So tomorrow he's scheduled to go back into the operating room at 1 p.m.

When I visited him tonight, his spirits were lower than they've been since he broke his hip.

II.

Today at work, the call went out over the walkie-talkies we all wear for this hot boy I work with to let him know that he was needed somewhere in the store. After a pause, the hot boy got on the radio and said, "I can't right now. I'm all tied up."

I smiled.
