RIC: Do we have any plans?
ME: Just that NYE party tomorrow night.
RIC: What about tonight?
ME: Well, some out-of-town friends may stop by and stay the night on their way somewhere else.
RIC: What time?
ME: I don’t know. They are supposed to text an e.t.a.
RIC: What are we doing about dinner?
ME: I thought I might make some spaghetti.
RIC: It’s not Sunday.
ME: I know.
RIC: But . . . it’s not Sunday.
ME: I know.
RIC: What will we do on Sunday?
ME: I don’t know.
RIC: This just ain’t right.
ME: Open the wine.
