After Five / January 2020 / Page 3 THE POSTSCRIPT I glanced up as the bells rang to herald new customers walking into the used clothing store. I was looking for a pair of warm dress pants. Visiting my parents in Minnesota, I had forgotten entirely about the possibility of extreme cold and the idea of going out that night in tights and a skirt seemed preposterous. Luckily, I found a like-new pair of black jeans with just a little sparkle on the pocket for a good price. I was wandering around the store with these jeans in my hand—just in case I saw something else that I might need—while I waited for the line at the check- RXWFRXQWHUWRJHWDOLWWOHVKRUWHU0D\EH,FRXOGÀQGD silver jacket, I thought, that would look nice on a cold winter night. A woman and man had parked their pick-up outside and come into the store. The woman marched in a determined fashion to a rack in the middle of the store. She was a heavyset woman and it looked as if she had located this rack on a previous visit. She approached with a grim determination. She and the man she was with were standing in front of the rack of dark colored clothing as I slipped by with my sparkly jeans in hand.

The whole transaction took less than ten minutes and seemed completely void of holiday cheer. I went home with my sparkly jeans and wore them out that night with an old friend. We stayed up late, laughing at the crazy things we had done together over the years and sharing crazy plans for the new year. But, after he was gone, for some reason I thought DJDLQRIWKHXQKDSS\ZRPDQ,·GVHHQHDUOLHULQWKHGD\ I wondered where she had gone, where this room of sparkly women had been and if the black garment had SOHDVHGKHURQFHVKHKDGÀQDOO\WULHGLWRQ,VXGGHQO\ felt unreasonably sad and wished that she had found something with sparkles on it—something silver or red or gold or green—something that would have made her happy and excited to greet the New Year.

His wife, Debi Durst, didn’t reveal the news about the political humorist until it was reported in the Nov. 26 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, a day after After Five Magazine went to print for the December issue. Durst and his wife reside in the Bay Area and he had recently started writing an exclusive column for the Chronicle called “Durst vs. Durst.” The 67-year-old Durst, who reportedly had not missed a performance in 30 years, was hospitalized after suffering the stroke backstage before a scheduled performance at the Presidio Theatre in San Francisco. “Will has never lost the ability to speak or communicate, and he jokes with his nursing staff every day,” his wife, Debi Durst, said in the Chronicle story. “One day this week he asked one of them if she would be so kind as to fetch him a beer.” Debi Durst said her husband can read but cannot write, which is a struggle because he would write every day. “His brain is trying to reboot itself and reinstall many apps,” she said. For those who have contacted After Five and inquired about the absence of his column the past two months, if and when Will Durst is able to resume writing, we will publish his column again.
