How to hang a cliff
I’ve been writing a lot lately. Once again, it’s a bit of an escape from real life. So, an update.
After my brother went downrange, I sent him a note about something “business” related: I asked if he had one of the keys to a set of locks on a storage room. We use the locks on our storage room as well as his (he stored a lot of his household goods here in town when he moved to Germany). The set of locks have a set of matching keys, which makes my life simple if I need to get into one of the rooms.
Anyway, I couldn’t account for one of the three keys, and I thought I might’ve given it to him when he moved his things into the room. So I sent him a polite note, all business. Now, I was genuinely interested in the key, but part of the reason for the note was to test the waters, of course.
