I'm lying in bed while Susannah's dad stands over me. He's telling me that he's taking te next three days off by using a combination of vacation days & half days. He struggles to remember whether or not he's using a Jewish holiday or all vacation days. He has a long grey mullet and looks like Dustin Hoffman. I ask him if he has a calendar where all this is written down. He looks perplexed & frustrated like he doesn't remember where his calendar is. I find a one-page calendar and ask him if this is it. I try to hand it to him but he can't grasp it. He looks at his trembling hands with fear. I begint o suspect he's having a stroke or seizure and try to get out of bed to call Susannah.
