Got into it with August this afternoon while floating on glitter floaties, slathered in contraband sunblock and blasting acoustic gems from the playlist I made just for him.
Operator came on and he swore up and down that it was Elton John. Swore. Tried to bet me money but I wouldn't take it. Told me I was fucking with him. Listened intently and said I was totally messing with him and finally he sat back, content in my deception even as I floated and insisted that it was Jim Croce, and he needed to do his research.
Lochlan came out and August hailed him. Who's the singer?
Lochlan stopped in his tracks and listened. Jim Croce.
For fucks sakes.
See? I crowed from my air mattress. I don't mess around-
With Jim?
No, with music. Ever.
How did you get such a vast knowledge of it?
Only stuff from the seventies and eighties-
Yeah, but how?
Lochlan grins. Easy. We had some really long drives from one site to the next and the radio was always on. I quizzed her constantly. Eventually she outlearned me and now I work to keep up.
Serious?
Very.
It's the only thing I'm good at, I venture from the middle of the pool.
Lochlan shakes his head. I beg to differ, Bridge.
