Frank J: Well, it’s after 8:00 and we really need to start. I appreciate everyone showing up.

Basil: Hey. Where’s Harvey?

Oppo: I cannot believe you have not heard the news. Harvey’s retired, and we all have the blues.

. . .

. . .

Basil: Um. What?

Oppo: I’ll say it again, if you feel that I must. Harvey has gone now. You believe me, I trust?

Basil: Well, who’s in charge?

Frank J.: I’m in charge.

Basil: No, seriously. Who’s in charge now?

Spacemonkey: Can I have his office?

Oppo: Usually a face I never forget. I don’t think I know you sir. Have we met?

Spacemonkey: You can call me Spacemonkey.

Oppo: I know your stuff from old, and it carries quite fame. It’s so nice to finally put a face with the name.

Basil: Yeah, when Frank and Sarah moved to Florida, Spacemonkey caught up with them outside Mobile and run ’em off the road. Frank gave him a spot here so he’d let them go.

Spacemonkey: So … that office?

Basil: First we have to figure out what to do now that Harvey is gone. Who’s going to hand out assignments?

Frank J.: I’m in charge.

Oppo: If I was able to post more, I already would. Life gets in the way. I’ve done what I could.

Spacemonkey: That’s what happened to me. I needed to step away to deal with some really important things. It’s not that didn’t enjoy it, I just had things I really needed to focus on and do.

Keln: I’m in the same boat. We’re all real people and we have to step away from blogging for our own personal reasons.

Mr. Right: Yep. I’ve been there. I’m still there.

Keln: We all have to respect Harvey’s situation. He shared the situation with us last week and made the public announcement Saturday.

Basil: Wait. What?

Keln: You didn’t get the emails? There were several.

Basil: How would I know?

Mr. Right: Open your app on your phone and read them. It’s not that hard.

Basil: Is that what those numbers mean? That I got emails?

Keln: Anyway. It’s a difficult situation. Not talking about it could lead to speculation, but talking about it would violate a trust. So, I’m just gonna respect his wishes and not talk about it. I do wish him the best.

Spacemonkey: As do I.

Mr. Right: Same here.

Basil: I don’t mean to sound callous, but who’s in charge now?

Frank J.: I’m in charge.

Oppo: That’s not so important as us just doing our part. I’ll commit to posting when I can. At least that’s a start.

Spacemonkey: Well, I’m heading out. I’ve got stuff going on. I’ll post when I can. Maybe some classic stuff from time to time. I don’t know. I’ll … I’ll do what I can.

Mr. Right: That’s an excellent idea. Me too. But right now, I’ve got lots of stuff I need to see about.

Keln: Yep. I’m gonna cut out, too. But I’ll post when I can. I just don’t know if that’s today, next week, or whenever.

Basil: I’ll be in my closet … um, my office … if anybody needs me.

Frank J.: I’m in charge.
