Dana was finishing up the omelets when Alice made her entrance into the kitchen. Dana turned and looked at Alice as she entered the kitchen. Alice had what Dana always called in her head ‘adorably cute Alice wet head’ then as she placed the omelets on plates and headed toward Alice she was thinking that Alice didn’t have any kind of hair she didn’t think was cute. Wet hair love it, Bed hair love it, messy hair love it, bangs needing cutting over eyes loved it. OK she thought I guess I had a thing about Alice’s hair.

Dana was so wrapped up in her contemplations about Alice’s hair. That she didn’t notice Alice was watching her until Alice snapped her fingers in front of Dana face. “Alice to Dana, wake up Dana.” Dana just snapped her head back a little, slightly embarrassed over her daydreaming. “Glad to see you’re back with the living Dane, so tell me why did you come over her and wake me up at 7am, even though I spoke with you last night. What is so important you couldn’t tell me say at 11or maybe say noon?”

Dana’s face light up with such a big smile that Alice new this had to be big. “Al I didn’t tell you about this yesterday because I wanted to tell you face to face. And I knew you were out last night with Joy at the art thing, what ever. So I waited as long as I could. I’ve been up since 5 so you’re lucky I restrained myself from coming over then.” At this point Alice was moving her hand in a circular motion trying to get Dana to tell her what ever she had to say. “Dana spit it out, at this rate I could have slept another hour.”

Dana took a deep breath. “ESPN West called a few days ago. Al, I went and spoke with them yesterday, they said they wanted me to do a guest sports analyst at the Virginia Slims Tournament and if I did a good job, they are willing consider me for a permanent spot on a new sport show that focuses on women sports.” As Dana was telling Alice this is was all she could not to jump up and down. But she didn’t have to because before she could even finish Alice was up from her chair reaching to embrace Dana in a large bear hug. “Oh my God Dana, That’s great. Wow, I knew something would turn up for you.”
