Early evening, around 7:oo pm....

Luke read over the report he was currently typing up, making a correction here and there. He held a pen clamped between his teeth, a bad habit he'd had since high school. Frowning at what he had written, he consulted his notes, then corrected things on the computer. Finally he gave it a last read through and hit the print button. He also threw in a disc and burned a copy on that as well.

He leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms over his head. He glanced over at Rommel, who was sprawled in front of the door. "Hey, mutt, what do you say we go for a walk before watching the game?" Luke had taped the previous night's hockey game between the Avalanche and the Sabres, and was looking forward to watching it.

Rommel got up, tail wagging as he watched his master pull on his sneakers. "All right, let's go." Luke snapped his fingers and started towards the door. He paused as his computer beeped, indicating a new email. "Hold on a sec, just let me see what this is." He sat back down and opened his mail. "Hey, it's from Roger. It's late at home, wonder what's up..." He sat back and read what his brother had to say.

Hey, Sasquatch,

How's things? Haven't heard from you for a while and wondered if you'd run off with some stud from Malibu. I mean, now that you're a Cali beach bum, you mustn't have a lot of time for us way up here in snow country.

Anyway, as you probably know, hunting season has started. Sarah is old enough to go to hunting camp this year, and has been pestering me about it. Can you get some time off and we'll grab Dad and head up to the cabin for a few days? I haven't seen you since July and it would be good to catch up. And, Mom's starting to miss you. I know, hard to believe since I'm her favorite, but it's true. Besides, I'm not going to be trapped in the woods with a 13-year old all by myself.

Give me a buzz and let me know what works for you. Things are pretty slow around the office at the moment, so my schedule's pretty open. Stay out of trouble. Or better yet, go find some.

Rog

Luke chucked to himself as he started his reply.

Hey yourself, shorty,

Great to hear from you. Things have been hectic here, with juggling the studs and all.

You have snow already? Man, one thing about this job, I do miss the seasons. But, I'll just have to suffer and deal with the sunshine.

I just finished up a big project, so I'll talk to my boss about getting some time off. Maybe around the 9th? A nice trip home is just what I need at this point. Do me a favor, check the store and see if you can pick me up a pair of Bauer's or CCM's, size 7 women's. Not sure what that would be for men's. Just make sure they're hockey skates. No frilly figure things. Black too, no pink or blue.

Gotta run, I'll let you know about coming home as soon as I can.

Luke

P.S. Mom's favorite? You? Man, I'm away for a while and you start suffering delusions of grandeur.

Luke hit the "send" button and turned back to his dog. "Whadda you say, Rom, want to head home for a visit? Have Grammy spoil you?" The word "Grammy" had Rommel's tail thumping and Luke laughed. "C'mon, let's go for that walk." Together they headed out the door.
