Today’s game: musical chairs.

If one was to drop into the Kimberly & Eric show this afternoon midway through our program, one might come to the conclusion that it was instead solitaire. However, you would be mistaken, dear viewer, for lonely card games were simply a way for our damsel in distress to while away the time, waiting for the hero to finish the necessary vehicular repairs.

And just like that: Tada! The van is once again on the fritz.

But why musical chairs?
Excellent question, oh clever observer.

Our 1993 Hiace has no traditional hood that precedes the body and bulk of the van. The brains at Toyota decided to hide it beneath both diver and passenger seat to economize on space + heat our buns. The current problem: buns aburnin’ too hot + a needle on the dash pointing all the way flush with that ominous, red H.

And so:
We drive.
We pull over.
We futz and fiddle.
We buckle back in and cross our fingers it’s cool enough to continue.

Me, I’m not much bothered. I sit in the back in my place of comfortable dislocation, a pack of cards keeping me company. I lost every single round I attempted (Vegas style: not for the faint of heart) however, Eric ultimately succeeded in his mission and effectively saved the day. Hooray! Sir boyfriend wins this round!
