I went to work everyday, did the best I could and went home at night, just like any other assembly line worker.Chapter 9: The Country ClubIt was early...December 1999 when Trish made her next winning move against me. We had just sat down to dinner when Trish said, "I was over at the country club today. I talked to the head of the membership committee. I told him we might be interested in joining. He told me they would be glad to have us as members but that we would have to act fast as they only. It was easier to get to Rick than it was to Veronica. Anita in general could at anytime diffuse any tension in the household by embarrassing her son by talking dirty to him about sex or porn. Either would work and he would always do an about turn when it got too risqué for him. On the other hand Veronica found this sort of ribbing to be quite good fun and eventually mother and daughter could fire off various sex-based joke/insults at each other. Masturbation was always a strong topic for. I was looking for Prajakta, but she disappeared. But I knew I had to be closed to her in some way or the other as I couldn’t see that old bastard who mauled her. But nothing happened and I went off to sleep and got up at 7 in the evening.I ordered some beer and snack and was watching a movie to divert myself. I opened my beer. I just had a glass, there was knocking in the door, I thought might be the waiter had come with the snacks. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see Prajakta. I was. John could just make out the white dragon’s-head bowsprit, below sails bulging with a full tailwind.It was the elements around the vessel that caught John’s attention. A continuous wave, a hundred yards wide, and taller than the poop deck lifted and carried the stern forward at high speed. Now ships are not surfboards, so that shouldn’t have been possible. But given the way the crest whitewater ‘glowed’ with the same blue-green flavor as the entire water-filled bowl with throne and trident had.
