At This Time

I love the United States, I love the brusque politeness, I love the easy provison of victuals and water.

I have developed a serious addicton to Snapple Grapeade.

What annoys me is the use of the phrase "this service is not available at this time."

When will the service be available? The Big Bang? The second coming of Christ?

It's hard to tell.

"Sometime around the second Tuesday of next week" is the usual reply. Or "how about Never. Does Never work for you?"

You must imagine these responses being delivered in a brisk Brooklyn accent, of course, to really give them the elan they deserve.

They WANT you to get hooked on it.

Speaking of the Big Bang, were you anywhere near Times Sqaure in the wee small hours of the morning?

Are you still there?
Actually were you ever?

Yes, I am back.

And no, of course I wasn't there. I am an insomniac fantasist who likes to post at 4 am.

Have a bagel on me.
