Sunday. Still raining. We elect to forgo wet, cold rock and head back to Seattle. Roberta, of coarse, insist on making breakfast again. Pancakes, sausage, cereal, cake, fruit, coffee, juice...
"Is there anything else I can get you girls?" - Roberta
"A wheelchair." -Me
I am almost relived to leave. I am running out of different ways to express my profound apprieciation.
We go to the airport to rent a car and I make a big deal on the way about how I don't mind driving. Spring and Shelly are more than happy about this. Only I forget my drivers license in Mike's car when we go into the airport. So I have to frantically find Mike. I run up to the counter with my license. It's fucking expired! And people wonder why I'm so self-deprecating. Or maybe they don't anymore.
During the ride, I make a big deal about the huckleberry milk shakes and sweet potato fries at Burgerville. Spring and Shelly get excited. We finally find a Burgerville. Huckleberry milkshakes and sweet potato fries aren't in season. Fuck! Idiot!
We eat our consolation burgers on the way cos we are trying to get to Tacoma in time to see Tao in the final of his badminton tournament. We navigate the maze that is Tacoma and find the tournament and Tao and his partner reward us with an nail biting win. Shelly gets busted for flash photography but I don't think it will go on her permanent record.
