I also wasn\u2019t sure how to tell them their new digs lack water, electricity, cable, neighbors, a functioning police department, streets, schools, supermarkets, traffic lights, a roof, and walls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUm, sure,\u201d I said, because I have a tough time telling Indy <em>he\u2019s<\/em> the one being ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr,\u201d Indy continued.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr, you can give it to Alec Baldwin. He probably can\u2019t film his movie anymore. Let him film it there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUh, OK,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then I left. I just left. I\u2019m not sure how I got from opening a bank account to international relations to Alec Baldwin. But I did and I needed to leave because I didn\u2019t want it to get worse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I also had a lot to do, what with needing to contact the State Department, Alec Baldwin, Immigration, and maybe the president.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, I still hadn\u2019t opened the bank account with Willie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That came the following week. Willie was present and accounted for when Wednesday morning rolled around. So was her driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So we trekked to the Garden Level of the Temple of Doom, where the bank pops up every Wednesday morning from nine to twelve. We were early, so Willie chatted with a fellow Temple of Doom resident who was also waiting for the bank to open.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie introduced us, explaining that she and her friend were in the Temple of Doom\u2019s drama club together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes. The Temple of Doom has a drama club. The Temple of Doom also IS a drama club.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie and this friend exchanged gossip. Apparently, a fellow member of the drama club had done a one-man performance in which she said \u201cgoddamn.\u201d Willie and her friend thought this was offensive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And said so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To this poor lady\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In front of everyone in the Temple of Doom.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That is just goddamn ridiculous right there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After we opened the bank account \u2013 success! &#8211; I mentioned this drama club friend we had been chatting with to Willie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat woman is <em>not<\/em> my friend,\u2019 Willie hissed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d I asked. I mean, I\u2019m only human. The gossip around the Temple of Doom can be quite lurid. I was hoping for a juicy story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause. She was sitting at the bar at happy hour last week and she didn\u2019t save me a seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Like I said. Drama-goddamn-club.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe you should leave the Texas property to her,\u201d I suggested.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But Willie was still bent on giving it to me. In the hierarchy of people Willie likes, I fall below the lady who refuses to save Willie a seat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Days later, Willie would tell me that she, Willie, is doing a skit about being flat-chested.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s less offensive than saying \u2018goddamn\u2019?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, yes,\u201d Willie said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs there a part for Alec Baldwin?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie didn\u2019t think I was funny. So I\u2019m really getting that Texas property now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019ll open a bar. A bar where Willie always has a seat. A bar where little old ladies can say \u201cgoddamn\u201d and stacks of paper are banned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe I\u2019m just being ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So let\u2019s recap. &nbsp; Willie wanted to open a joint bank account with me, and Indy bought unusable land in Texas back in the 1960s. &nbsp; &nbsp; On my second attempt to help Willie open a bank account at the Temple of Doom, I discovered Willie had misplaced her driver\u2019s license. &nbsp; We had to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":700,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10,11,5,3,6,7,4,8,9],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
