the next morning i was civil to him but not chatty , thought about calling roger , but didnt , thought about walking over to a bar on king street and ordering a cold bud , but didnt , thought about going for a jog along the battery , but didnt , thought about calling jinny and gale and asking them if they had been eaten alive by their new friends , but didnt , and thought about not letting the dog out into the back yard , let him suffer , but did .
