MONROE:

(( Blows nose and dries eyes))

** What's that I hear? "A mustachio ees just the thing for a mid-life crisis"?!? And here I am, quietly going through an extensive and shattering nervous breakdown, - totally unnoticed, very discreetly and all hush-hush. I might as well start the path to healing: Take the advice of the expertice and acquire the thing - right now. **

%% Hmmm.... well, would you look at that. But is it helping? %%

JACK:

((After a quick run down to the Sacred Relics Storage Chamber, Jack emerges with his new look.))

**Well, don't know much about mid-life crisis, but this glue sure as hell stings.**

HIGH PRIESTESS:

** Oh, yes, very nice! **

FAMOUS DEAD COMPOSER:

**Ma certo, signore, a very good move on your part! **

MONROE:

(( A bit dubious, still depressed:))

I don't know, signore Verdi, - somehow I don't feel it's helping all that much....

** Think I'll go sharpen my set of carving knives. I'm in the mood for knives, all of a sudden. **

(( Can't find knives anywhere ))

Alma-Angel, do you know what happened to all my especially-imported surgical-sharp designer carving knives?

((Listens to Alma's shouted response in surprise))

Seriously? You gave them all to Ennis? Both the old set and my new one? What on earth did you do that for?

(( Listens to response and grumbles a bit ))

One each as a gift from the girls, all right - but still, it seems way excessive! The man's hardly a chef, now is he? I seem to recall he mostly excists on beer and the occasional can o'beans!

((Decides that he must definitely have misheard Alma's next reply: What you might do with them knives in the house just now don't make for no food nor for happiness nohow.... ))

((Plaintively))

But Thanksigiving's coming up!? How am I gonna carve the turkey if I've got no proper knife at all? Did you think of that?

MONROE:

(( The last days of peace and quiet, of rest and contemplation has made MONROE a world of good. He's starting to look ahead optimistically again after his small mid-life crisis. ))

**Stacking bean crates at the SuperMarket for hours on end is *just* like meditation. And it provides effective physical exersice too. A combo that's great for the body, that boosts the spirit, and that's better than courmet cooking on the soul! **

(( Ponders))

'%% Wonder if I should market this as a newly developed "wellbeing & workout" technique...... starting small, right here in Riverton, before going world-wide? It would even help me get the S-Market re-stocked for free! %%

(( Ponders some more, then turns to more immediate concerns ))

%% It's soon Thanksgiving. My first one as a proper, responsible Pater Familias! It's so important that I observe traditions, but..... I'm worried about the turkey.

((Studies his most recent gift from ALMA: ))

** Not that the new plastic cutlery isn't nifty, and functional, and trendy, and colorful, and .... mallable.... but it's just so..... wobbly! **

(( Sighs in near-exasperation ))

%% Well, I've still got some little time to figure it all out. Let me see if this can give me any ideas... %%

(( Grabs hold of Hamley's Carving Catalogue and starts leafing through it, pausing here and there to study a particularly fine item ))

Eureka!!!

(( Grins))

This will do the trick! Of course! Electrical carving is *obviously* the way to go in this day and age!!!!

**Guess we're gettin' close to Thanksgivin' now... At least Ah think we are... Lureen's gone grocery shopping... and I'm startin' ta worry 'bout her cause she left two weeks ago.**

Random potential audience members

We better get a move on for the marathon! We're going to camp in front of the theater this week so we can get good seats.
