a fresh response.”
“Well, you know.”
“What about last night? What did you do?”
“Same old thing.”
“Which is?”
That’s when I realized that I couldn’t exactly recall what I did last night. It was a nothing night. “I guess I did some homework, listened to the radio. I must have gone to bed early.”
Dave was looking at me in that Dave sort of way. Then he tugged at his ponytail and looked out the window. “Know anything about Salvador Dali?”
“Yeah, he was way out there. Melting watches over the branches of trees. Some kind of painter. Spanish, right? Big moustache.”
“I wanted to look up something about Dali, so I check out a couple of search engines. One keeps taking me to this really interesting site where I find all these paintings. Dali, Picasso, some other stuff that’s unlabelled. I click on something called ‘Stuff to Consider,’ and I get this little lesson about something called ‘neutron soup.’ Are you familiar with neutron soup?”
“Sure. Collapsed stars, electrons rammed into protons. So dense that a piece the size of a sugar cube would weigh a thousand million tons.”
“Right.” Pony-tug. “Then I check the web address and discover it’s something called Emerso.com.”
“Probably an acronym.”
