It's what, it's WHANTSDAY? Where's Golfford. Missing?! But only Golfford has the password. It's still too WHERE? Oh, Tuesday. Good. Colorado. ### Segments 1. **Cold Open — The Lamp Is Still On** — Sparky in a borrowed boat at nine; Golfford's rowboat tied off, folding table, lamp on, cable warm and drawing, one item face down and NOT turned over; "So that's the inventory. Boat. Table. Lamp. Cable. Item. What isn't here is Golfford"; "He's not here, Harold. And not on a Tuesday. Which is a different sentence." Harold: "There's an animal in his chair." Sign-off: "this has been — everything except the man." 2. **Breezy, Slightly Off** — the Tuesday music is a half-step under where he left it; "I did not move it"; "There's a thing that happens in a building when somebody who wasn't doing anything stops doing it. Everything stays. Everything settles. Settling is a sound." 3. **The Calendar, Unsupervised** — three voices confirm Tuesday into an empty office (one still chasing the memo, one reporting the Fifth Street layer place shut in August — "he'd have wanted to know it was over"); **THE FOURTH VOICE says "Nine." Twice, into nothing** — and MARGARET PICKS UP: "It is nine... the office has never once written this down before, because it was always written down by somebody else before the office got here. I'll take it every week if I have to." etc. I hope Golfford never comes back but it seems extremely unlikely.
