She checked out and left again thanking me. I checked out walking to the parking lot. On the way to my car I see the little woman just staring down at...the tire on her car. It was flat.Of course I asked her if she needed help.“I hate to bug you but yes I do need help. I have to take little Sue to her dentist appointment and if I wait for tire changing service I will be late.” she said.So I started changing the tire. We did make small talk.Her name was Kate She asked if I was married. I asked her. "This meeting is turning out to be a higher level affair than I had expected."Pete Williams, who had just come in, answered for him."I was hoping to hear more about what our chances are of getting licenses for the proposed Reno shuttle, but I gather that they want to talk about West Coast operations in general."Right on time, a car drew up outside the main door, and the three FAA men were ushered into Carlos' office.Mr. Bishop was introduced to everyone, but it turned out that he had known Pete. ?Yes, Ms. Thomas, I believe Chrissy here is ready.?Ready for what? I wonder, as Jillian continues, ?Come on, Chrissy,let?s go over to your place. We need to find something nice to go withyour new look. I?m thinking I know just the ensemble.?She takes my hand and just pulls me along.?Isn?t Serge just wonderful with all the things he can do with hair?I?m so lucky I found him. He?s got just the right color for you. Youlook so natural. And Danny, I just love what he can do with cosmetics.Like. They looked good!!!We were curled up and about to blow the candles out when we heard Katie and Geoff coming up from downstairs. I could hear Katie's soft footsteps, but Geoff sounded like he was clomping along on the hardwood floors.It turns out he was crawling on his hands and knees. Naked. Katie ... er, Mistress Katya if she was in character ... wore a bathrobe as the rest of us had come upstairs. She held a leash in her hands that was affixed to a studded dog collar around Geoff's neck."Up.
