Blaming typo on fatigue and fatigue on 3:30 AM noise: asteroid 279 instead of 179 begets “Thule.” Insomniac mind remembers conversation day before with cashier in a store where once upon a time a few years ago, a savant cashier knew people’s five-digit membership numbers by heart. He died of heart attack at a young, middle age. Early morning mind recalls more about asteroid 179 and weekend webinar on Gemini, but typo 279 accidentally suits newer, younger cashier better — one who struggles and cares to recall first name hidden behind initials on payment popping up on register screen.
Day before yesterday, first name on a tag worn around his neck is focus of our conversation, i.e., its origins, the R&B singer honored, his father’s genetic roots.
“What about your mother?”
“Oh, Scandinavia, Northern Europe, somewhere over there. Andersen with ‘en.’”
“Danish?”
“Yes, Danish!”
