I

'm

so

damn

absent-minded

,

I

gave

the

driver

my

regular

address

,

just

out

of

habit

and

all

--

I

mean

I

completely

forgot

I

was

going

to

shack

up

in

a

hotel

for

a

couple

of

days

and

not

go

home

till

vacation

started

.

I

did

n't

think

of

it

till

we

were

halfway

through

the

park

.

Then

I

said

,

"

Hey

,

do

you

mind

turning

around

when

you

get

a

chance

?

I

gave

you

the

wrong

address

.

I

want

to

go

back

downtown

.

"

The

driver

was

sort

of

a

wise

guy

.

"

I

ca

n't

turn

around

here

,

Mac

.

This

here

's

a

one-way

.

I

'll

have

to

go

all

the

way

to

Ninedieth

Street

now

I

did

n't

want

to

start

an

argument

.

"

Okay

,

"

I

said

.

Then

I

thought

of

something

,

all

of

a

sudden

.

"

Hey

,

listen

,

"

I

said

.

"

You

know

those

ducks

in

that

lagoon

right

near

Central

Park

South

?

That

little

lake

?

By

any

chance

,

do

you

happen

to

know

where

they

go

,

the

ducks

,

when

it

gets

all

frozen

over

?

Do

you

happen

to

know

,

by

any

chance

?

"

I

realized

it

was

only

one

chance

in

a

million

.

He

turned

around

and

looked

at

me

like

I

was

a

madman

.

"

What

're

ya

tryna

do

,

bud

?

"

he

said

.

"

Kid

me

?

"

"

No

--

I

was

just

interested

,

that

's

all

.

"

He

did

n't

say

anything

more

,

so

I

did

n't

either

.

Until

we

came

out

of

the

park

at

Ninetieth

Street

.

Then

he

said

,

"

All

right

,

buddy

.

Where

to

?

"

"

Well

,

the

thing

is

,

I

do

n't

want

to

stay

at

any

hotels

on

the

East

Side

where

I

might

run

into

some

acquaintances

of

mine

.

I

'm

traveling

incognito

,

"

I

said

.

I

hate

saying

corny

things

like

"

traveling

incognito

.

"

But

when

I

'm

with

somebody

that

's

corny

,

I

always

act

corny

too

.

"

Do

you

happen

to

know

whose

band

's

at

the

Taft

or

the

New

Yorker

,

by

any

chance

?

"

"

No

idear

,

Mac

.

"

"

Well

--

take

me

to

the

Edmont

then

,

"

I

said

.

"

Would

you

care

to

stop

on

the

way

and

join

me

for

a

cocktail

?

On

me

.

I

'm

loaded

.
