Hamsters

At first that little cartoon light bulb went off above my head, then the hamsters started running on the wheel inside my head. Damn! Those little guys run fast. I vetted my idea with my confidants. Each seemed genuinely enthusiastic – and, as I had hoped, started coming up with ideas for me.

I now realize though, that my idea is not entirely unique, as noted by my confidant and cousin Gabe. Gabe, by the way, is a talented writer, and the only Jew to fight in the Gulf War (according to my grandmother). During dinner at Sidebar, he gave a voice command into his iPhone, only to find a few pages of people living differently. I won’t be deterred though. I’m convinced this idea has legs (four, furry little legs).

Sue, confidant and Greyhound owner extraordinaire, also thought this idea could fly – problem is that she started implementing – my idea-without me! (BITCH). But I’m not too concerned, she’ll Peter-out. Even as my confidants begin sending me ideas, I’m going to have to find the time to implement. This will likely be the biggest challenge.
