After a half hour, his blather sounds much like the unintelligible utterings of Charlie Brown's teacher: mwah-mwah, mwah mwah. Finally, Nick has decid...d that we have been exposed to his glory for long enough to be rejuvenated, and he dismisses us with a fat-lipped smirk and a casual wave of his hand. As we trot out, we can hear suppressed chuckles all around us."Well, that was fun," Phil says as we walk out into the street to head back to the parking garage."You know what was missing from that. Which way will I go, Andrew? Which way?''With my note placed on the toilet for someone to eventually find I took the razor blade in my hand and sliced through my wrists from right to left.

That was when I found out I was pregnant. The doctor. I’ll tell you over lunch.”Thankfully, the rest of the day was uneventful. After a special Tuesday karate class, I called Kathy’s apartment to check on Bethany. Kathy said that Bethany had gone to class and was doing homework, though she was crying a lot of the time.
