Norm
Wizard
State of the State
1) All In: This is how my sister Marlene described my relationship with Norma and it is an apt description. All my resources, all my attention, all my intentions, are wrapped around our union. It has the feeling of an arranged marriage. We were put together by some force since such a relationship between two people from opposite ends of the globe was anything but likely. Now we are finding things out about each other that normally would have preceded betrothal. It’s all good though since we are both committed to a lasting union.
2) Radio Silence: I have been out of contact with 90% of my previous world. Norma and my daughter Avery are my new Universe. After Jake died I said the only chance I had for future happiness was a complete rebuild of my world. I told Avery that everything looked different to me now except for her; she was the one and only piece of my world that hadn’t changed. Even a blade of grass looked different to me now. I now will begin the process of putting the pieces of my past life that still are meaningful to me back into the present iteration…if they’ll have me.
3) Motorcycles: Still love them! I sold the C14 to buy Norma a Prius. Professor Fizz supplies all the adrenaline I need. A spill (tried to take a 35 MPH turn at 85) hasn’t slowed me down. A scar on my right forearm is there to remind me I’m human. I still like passing cars like they’re standing still, passing Harleys like they’re part of the road, and scraping a peg now and then. Norma loves to ride with me on the back. She rode many years ago and even had her own motorcycle. Now I know I met the right woman!
4) New House: It’s beautiful! My motorcycle friends must come to visit.
5) Mommy wasn’t there: My mother doesn’t like that I left her for Norma. She’s suing me for living room furniture she says I promised to buy her. I’ll show the small claims court judge the $20,000 I spent on her in 9 months, tiled her house, bought her a freezer, a barbecue, a DVD player, took her on a cruise, bought her a house sized shed, an air conditioner, food, sundries, you name it. I don’t know what she wants from my life. If she wins she loses. If she loses she loses. Sad.
6) Well I can’t end on that note. Here’s to a beautiful woman in every sense of the phrase and motorcycles. L’chaim.
