BORN AGAIN

HAVING THE AZ CAR OUT IS CONVENIENT, WITH MARY AND I WORKING DIFFERENT SCHEDULES AT WORK. INSTEAD OF DRIVING THE GAS GUZZLING BIG RED PICK-UP TRUCK I CAN DRIVE THE MORE FUEL EFFICIENT AZ CAR.

THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK I GOT DONE WORKING AT 1 AM IN THE MORNING AND MARY WAS SCHEDULED UNTIL 3 AM. WE ARE USED TO RIDING TO AND FROM WORK TOGETHER AND AS WE DEPART WORK IT'S A HABIT TO REACH INTO MARY'S TRUNK COOLER AND GRAB A DIET PEPSI AND COLD BEER FOR THE RIDE HOME.

ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR AFTER WORK, I RAN INTO MARY IN THE HALLWAY AND COMMENTED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY KEYS TO RAID THE COOLER IN HER TRUNK FOR THE RIDE HOME. SHE JUST LAUGHED.

WHEN I GOT HOME I DISCOVERED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY KEYS TO GET INTO THE CAMPER EITHER........

DAMN..... IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I CAN'T GET IN? I SEARCHED FOR THE HIDE A KEY WHICH I KNEW HAD FALLEN OFF MILES AND MILES AGO, AND I SEARCHED THE PICK-UP FOR AN EXTRA TRAILER KEY, NO LUCK.

I HAVE TO UNLOAD THE BACK COMPARTMENT AND GO UP THROUGH THE LAUNDRY SHOOT INTO THE CLOSET. NOW MARY HAS DONE THIS BEFORE BUT NEVER HAS REX. IT'S A BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE, LITERALLY. AFTER YOU GET YOUR HEAD UP THROUGH THE HOLE YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET ONE SHOULDER AT A TIME THROUGH THE OPENING. SO YOU BACK UP AND PUT ONE HAND AND ARM UP OVER YOUR HEAD.

AFTER BOTH SHOULDERS ARE UP YOU REALIZE THAT GETTING STUCK NOW MEANS YOU CAN'T GET BACK DOWN OR UP........

NEXT MOVE IS TO TWIST YOUR BODY TO GET YOUR HIPS THREW THE SMALL SQUARE OPENING. JEES, THE CLOSET DOOR IS CLOSED TOO? IN THE END, I SQUIRTED OUT HEAD FIRST ONTO THE DARK BEDROOM FLOOR.
