Wolfe’s Woofers: Good Reason

Dennis-Wolfe-Wolfes-Woofers“Hey, Juan. How are you doing?”

“Not so good right now, Mr. Dennis,” Juan said, as he took a seat at the table.

I was seated at the picnic table in front of my favorite local restaurant waiting for my dinner. I had watched Juan came up the road from his house dragging a big suitcase.

“You’re not doing well?” I asked. “Are you sick?”

I texted Maria and told her I was coming home early. I got home and she was there with a naked man in my bed. I packed up and left for good.”

“That does not sound like something my Maria would do,” the mother-in-law said. “You wait here and I’ll go talk to her and find out what happened. There has to be a very good reason why something like this would happen.”
