A New Record...
One day is all the longer the Rod lasted this time. A new record, most certain.

I wasn't there, but the stories the others tell are a direct repeat of his last disappearance. Except they say it was a different white whale this time.

As if my brain didn't hurt enough the first time.

The major difference this time is the lack of shock at the happening. Everyone just accepted it, and most just nodded and waved goodbye.

Some were glad to see him go.

As far as the graveyard desk is concerned, we won't be missing him. Blackbird is working out fine, and we have a new man - a Sicilian called Frank The Palm.

For some strange reason, he makes some folks nervous. Probably just stereotyping. Or maybe those of us who've worked the graveyard desk for a while are inured to such vibes.

We'll see.

Keeping things short this time since there's been so much work to do lately. I'm heading off to try to catch up on some long lost sleep. Definitely more next time, and another deskman portrait.
