It is the click clack of his high tech "HP12C Financial Calculator" as he announces our lives deficient by threehundredeightysixdollarsandfiftyonecents, that gets me.
It is an ominous sound. I hate it and I wonder why we must listen to it, why numbers like these are allowed to exist at all. I really don’t WANT to know how much we owe the IRS, or the mortgage company. Can we talk about something else?
That is a lovely painting....
