The Power of Observation

Megan and Mom and Marc have got me hooked on mysteries.  What is it about mysteries and the Dempsey family?

Of course, now I want to be a detective.  Do you think I would be a good detective?  You would have been a good one.

The other day I was wondering if I could get a tiny tattoo on the inside of my left wrist and hide it for eternity from Mom, who would hate it.  As you know I wear my watch on my right wrist despite being right-handed.  I thought, well I could just switch my watch over to my left hand every time I was going to see Mom, and the band would hide it.  I knew that if you were here, I would never get away with that.  You would notice within minutes if I changed the wrist I wore my watch on, and you would ask me about it, and probably before I even had a chance to answer you would have discovered the tattoo.  You noticed everything!

I can think of more than a few times when you noticed me doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing and you just caught my eye, made use of raised eyebrows to make sure I noted that you had seen me, and then never brought it up again.  Detective Discreet Dempsey, that's what they'd call you.

Miss you.
