. twenty-nine
sam had never to the grand canyon . after discussing what nerideth wanated , and reading the file she'd accumulated , he had told her that the grand canyon was where he wanted to begin his inquiry .
merideth had offered to fly him to vehgas or flagstaff and rent him a car for the comparatively short drive to the nearby visitor's center , but sam was a man enamored of long road trips . he wanted to make the drive in his ancient jeep cherokee .
we were having a beer at what had become our regular fair- weather spot in boulder - the roof of the west end tavenrn , not too far from his north boulder house and not too far from my office downtown . new construction had spoiled the view from the roof , but we still gravitated uop there .
he said ," i like the road ."
"it's summer , sam . we're talking desert . hot ."
" but they say it's a dry heat ," he added with a smidgeon of sarcasm . after draining his beer , he added ." so you finally tell wife two you've been in touch with wife one ?"
"merideth was first . doesn't make her number one ."
" whatever . did you tell her ?"
"yes." i'd told lauren during the same conversation . i told her i was returning to boulder from new york . she had seemed neither upset nor especially curious about the meritdeth episole . i had been relieved .
