Why wait four effing years?

Maybe Jack said that he keeps his friends "addresses" in his head, if Laureen had asked about Ennis' address......saying friends....then it wouldn't sound like Ennis was anything special, and that he had lots of friends, personal and professional, that he didnt need to write down their addresses.

Your right, that is a good reason, but Jack didn't seem to really hide Ennis from Lureen, I mean she certainly knew about the fishing trips and he was even complaining to her about having to drive so far, so I don't really know why Jack would have to hide Ennis's address from Lureen because she knew about him anyway (well not everything about him) but she knew who he was.
And if the friends were farm equipment guys wouldn't he need to keep track of them?
Unless they were 'friends' he met while on the road who didn't have anything to do with farm equipment. ??? ???

Maybe when it came down to it, making the arrangements and all for the interment of Jack's ashes, Lureen realized there was nobody to contact - that Jack did not have any other close friends. Hence, her comment about Jack 'keeping his friends' addresses in his head'. I took it to mean she was not aware that he had any other friends. - in other words, if he did she would have known them and been able to contact them for notification of his death.

Well, yeah, it's one of the few things that bugs in me in BBM!

I thought of that--"friends" who have nothing to do with farm equipment--because I was reminded of the line in the story about Jack having a vague managerial title in the farm equipment business, traveling to shows and sales, and finding ways to spend the money he now had, but I didn't mention it because it seemed too strictly a "story" thing.
Did Jack really complain about the driving? Seems to me it's Lureen who passes a remark about the distance. Jack just points out that he has 14 hours of drivin' ahead of him--meaning he needs to get on the road--but he can't get on the road because he can't find that goddamn blue parka! ;D

Barbara, thanks for posting the photo!
Shall we analyze the time on the clock and the two different colored lights on the wall over their heads? :)
