Bill Belichick Mopped my Bathroom
By admin | June 27, 2008
I received a call on the answering machine from NM that he would be flying in to town to visit AS and then he would be driving south. He told me to look around in the paper for something interesting to do and give him a call so we could meet up. I cleared the message and then watched a “bar indicator” move as a new message was downloaded. A message popped on the screen–very like an iPod–telling me that K had sent a movie. I watched a little girl with black hair in a sort of cheerleader outfit dancing and kicking and…well, cheering.
I went into the other room and found K mopping the floor. Outside it was raining and cold, even though I knew it was summer. She said something to the effect that, ‘it’s too bad NM is coming as we’re all tied up.’
I felt the urge to defecate and so walked down the hall to the bathroom. It was immense. I went inside and laid down on a sofa, as if waiting for the right time to use the toilet. I looked at the door while laying, which had a square window in it, and I saw his face in the window and groaned, “Not him.” It was Bill Belichick. He came in with a mop and was mopping the floor and I knew he wanted the room to himself. He asked, “What did you do today?” It was very familiar and I got the impression that he was my father or uncle or a very close relation. “We went to the park.” He said, “Good news about the kicker’s elbow.” And I knew he was referring to the place kicker, but couldn’t figure out why the kicker’s elbow mattered. Instead, I talked about the weather and said that in Fredericktown there had been hail that was “this big” I made and “OK” sign to show the size of the hail.
Later I was walking around the house and all the kids were asleep. I went to one of the “adult” bedrooms and saw MG laying on the bed almost asleep. I woke him up so that we could talk about a play we were working on.
