Even the improvement in the weather didn’t help. The sky had become clear, although it was unseasonably cool for late May and forecasters were talking about how great the weather was for sports. Unfortunately, sports no longer interested Howard. There were no buddies at work with whom he could talk about football or politics. All he wanted was to be distracted from his boredom by the TV. He was finding it difficult to concentrate on TV programs if they lasted longer than fifteen minutes. Cartoons seemed to fill his requirements exactly; they were short, fast-moving and had been created with the idea of enthralling children with short attention spans. He took to them the way a duck takes to water. His strength was gone and his will was eroding rapidly.
