The Monkey On My back
So it's trash night, a bit warm but with a nice breeze and low humidity. No biggie as I lug the bags from the garage to the curb. As I am returning from a trip to the street back to the garage the old familiar devil's advocate approaches.
"You know, you could just walk down the hill to the pizza shop for you know what. She'd never know, you'd be back in a jiffy. suck em down in the garage." The wise man in the corner chuckles and scoffs, tossing aside the advocates suggestion with irreverence.
The old hippie dead head chokes out a smoke ring and says Dude the music! The Advocate comes back with how you many times carried two duffel bags for two miles when living carless in Philly loaded with a 30 pack each. One on each shoulder, of course you can't start the car because she would hear that but you can make it four blocks to the pizza shop no sweat.
Ehh, the wise man grunts do you really want to go there? Just like that the three vanish and I am left standing at the garage staring at the last of the garbage. Back out to the curb a few more times, load the cans with liners and go wash my hands. Fix some Ice Cream for my Wife and I and we all live happily ever after.
Until the next time...

Tune in next time for another thrilling episode of Late Night Reverie starring SudzNoMore and those wacky alter egos, The Three Doodz. Brought to you by Hope, Dreams and Life, 'Sobriety: It's not just for breakfast anymore'.
