. sam was feeling philosophical ." life isn't perfect , aln . you avoid one thing , something else gets you . fate abhors planning . do too much and you become an easy target for the gods ."
i had been convinced for almost a year that what fate a abhors is contentedness . but i kept remembering contented times , and didn't know what to do with the contrary evidence ." a target for what ?" i asked .
"more fate ." he attempted to finish his beer for the second time , returning his glass to the table with some force as a sign of his disappointment that the glass was already empty ." that's it for me . i want to be all chipper in the morning ."
i had slept in my own bed for a total of three nights before i boarded the flight from DIA to LAX . mona was back with the dogs .
the rental car that hert assigned to me in losgeles was a hybrid camry . the sedan was significantly greener than the summer air that day in the 'la BASIN , WHICH i imagined was the point .
over the prious couple of days wallace had given me some background on his daughter's life in LA . via e-mails and two additional phone calls . cara was sharing half of a dulex in mt . washinton with a couple of other people who were " in the business ." he e-mail me a map and directions to her house. inever actually spoke with cara by phone during the planning stage for my visit ; wallace palyed intermediary in making all the arrangments with her . wallace maintained that was the way cara wanted it . i gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was true .
once 'd made the airline resercations i let wallace know what day i was going and when i'd get to LAX / within a few minutes he e-mailed me back to let me know that cara was expecting me to stop by her place midafternoon .
my paln for my meeting with cara was simple . i would wing it . while she and i talked i would assess what was going on with her and - ideally - be on my way back to denver the next day , at the latest .
