Al is a little on the fat side, which is why I didn't like her at first. She has a very high I.Q., she says. But she doesn't work to capacity. She says things like that all the time, but I don't like to let on that I don't always know what she is talking about."I'm a nonconformist," she told me, like she was saying she was a television star or Elizabeth Taylor or something. Al's mother and father are divorced. She says she doesn't mind too much that they are divorced. She gets more presents that way.We figured out the night before last that Al and I have known each other for exactly three weeks. It feels like forever. Some people you just feel like you have always known. That is the way it is with me and Al.
