Veronica sat in Joe's cab.  Well, a Veronica sat in both their cabs twice, but Veronica sat in Joe's cab so that she could speak more easily to Guy as they rode along.

As in many relationships where one party likes someone well enough and the other party is totally smitten with the party of first part, Joe observed, the party of the first part managed to chat glibly and comprehensibly.  The party of the second part mostly gibbered.  Like an idiot.  So much so that Joe, being the good brother he was dropped back and stopped to examine his chain.  Just to give his brother time to recover some acumen.

Guy pulled to a halt as well, but needed to stay up ahead because it was bad form to make a loop with passengers, he did start to dismount and walk back toward his brother.

“Guy, right?”  Veronica said stopping him.

“Yes, 'M,”  Guy came to full halt and looked right at her.  “I think my brother's cab slipped a chain,”  He explained the hold up.

In the other cab, the one where Joe was fussing over nothing to give his brother time to re-oxygenate his brain, the Veronicas were going over things like itineraries on their iPods.  “The Palace looks so beautiful,”  Veronica said.

“It is beautiful, we were just there with our Uncle Howie.”  Joe told them.

“Joe has it well in hand I am sure,” Veronica said.  “So how long have you known Veronica?”  Ah, there, she saw it.  Yes, he had a very bad case.

“College, I was a freshman.” Guy replied simply, where he could have described everything she was wearing that first time he saw her.  He could have described the song playing over the radio nearby. He could have written a sonnet about it.  (Actually, he had not only written a sonnet about it, he had written two.)

Both the Veronicas in Guy's cab nodded to each other.  It the one who had asked who inquired further, “and how long has she known you?”

“So how did the four of you end up with this gig?”  Guy asked, because his brain worked better around these two Veronicas than it did around that one Veronica.  


Cut to Commercial:  Find out more about Alzheimer's by going here: http://www.alz.org/index.asp This is a terrible disease, stealing our loved ones from us long before their time.

“All of us have Grandparents with Alzheimer's, and all of us are named Veronica, like the song which is about a woman who has Alzheimer's,”  Veronica explained.

“We decided that if we got together, and we used the song and played off of all that, people might take notice," The other Veronica said.

 “And we want to bring awareness to the disease, which is really a lingering living death for the people who get it, and so hurtful to their relatives.”

“Does it run in families?” Guy asked solemnly.

Both of the Veronicas in his cab nodded.  “Deterministic genes  Still, no one knows yet why those cells which carry memories fail.”

“Can I do anything to help?”  Guy asked, his own problems suddenly fading into the background.

“Have you ever worked a kissing booth?”  Veronica asked.

“Or been auctioned off for charity?” The other Veronica asked.

“Uh, no...”  Guy said, imagining Joe's reaction when he found out what he was about to get volunteered for.
