I lucked out a found a parking spot,near a few of the new food joints, in a lot next to downtown's semi-famous gay bar. I parked the car and wandered ...the area for a while,checking out the people making the Thursday night bar crawls, and themenus at a few of the new places. I finally settled on Johnny Chen's, aAsian-American fusion place.The food at Johnny's was good. They did a spectacular job with a few newtwists on some sushi, and the waitstaff was top-notch. The free saki theygave me, as. The girl in blue and red’s first impulse was to grab the closest body in white in the hope that they could tell her what was happening. Then she discarded that thought, figuring that she could just as well wind up with some grad student who didn’t have a clue. No, she had a better idea.“What is going on here?” Supergirl shouted at the top of her lungs.The force of her voice carried across the compound like a shockwave, causing many of the fleeing scientists and engineers to momentarily pause.. She had to smile as Amber's Mom asked excitedly, "Did you get thatmarriage proposal? Get him while you can, dear! You can't be a PA allyour life!"She sighed regretfully when 'Amber' told her, "No, not yet, Mom."'Her' sister Beth was disappointed. "I sure hope you marry soon and getout of the house! You're such a pain!" You're such a bitch!" laughed Jake. And as usual, Beth went stormingoff to her room and slammed the door."I wish you two would get along," sighed Mrs. Chase.The world was upside. “Okay, I guess,” I said. “We’ll see.”“But one thing,” he said. I shrugged. “I’m her father too, not only one but too. Okay?” I didn’t answer him. He knew where I stood on the matter. He was a father of course, of Ronald. So, I let things slide for the moment.We talked a little more, well, one more beer’s worth. Then he cut country.It was Father’s Day, and I had two kids in actuality, not just Zoey. But I had so far not heard from either of them. I wondered about Tina as much as Zoey. Still, it.
