. emily , our big bouvier , rushed to get outside before ther door close . she was protective of me , i could tell that she didn't trust marty , emily had good instincts .
marty's agenda items for our latest terrace tete-a-tete were , one , the sale of adrienne's house and , two , janas's summer plans .
until that moment , i hadn't give either topic a moment 's consideration .
over the next few weeeks - during some tortuous phone calls between colorado and newjork - marty and i reached an accommodation . he would postpone pressing for the sale of the house for six months if i would prremit janas to fly east to new jork to stay with him angd his wife and their kids for three weeks during summer vacation .
once marty reluctantly accepted that our intransigence about the issue of jonas's guardianship was not a ploy , he began insisting on a long summer visit . the negotiations started with a demand by marty for jonas to spend the entire summer in new jork .
i'd counted with one weeek . the three-weeks interval was our compromise .
although three weeeks felt like an eternity in jonas time , i tried to feel good about the middle ground i'd manuevered .
i chose a pitching change during thesixth inning of an early season rockies game at coors fiel to present the three -week option to jonas for his consideration . the rocs were alreay five games back in the NL west . a righty and a lefty were warming up in the bullpen .
after jonas yelled his advice to the manager - jonas wanted the southpaw in the game - my stepson had some advice for me , too .
jonas had a primitive understanding of the position he was in - he was a chess enthusiat , knew the consequences of being down a piece , and knew well the role of pawns - buthe wasn't eager to leave he anchor of his spanish hills homes , old and new , to spend an extended summer holiday with relatives who were almost total strangers to him.
