Good story though. Even without describing the scenes, it is a vivid story. Still can't believe I forgot to read it though. Hell, that's like, say, buying the Little Beige Book twice!
ROFL! Paul, you are never gonna let me forget that, are you? LOL!
I'm holding on to the second copy of "Little Beige" and will give it to a friend, who does not yet exist, whom I turn on to FPW and who becomes an insane fan. There's someone who could fit that bill, a lovely pregnant doctor with whom I work to whom I gave "The Barrens and Others" as a pregnancy gift. Certainly it's not for the baby, but I thought a book of FPW short stories is oddly suitable for a women who is going to give birth any minute, who doesn't have a lot of time, who is suffering from "pregnancy brain" and can't focus on anything for very long. She was excited to get it. We'll see....
Do you know that awful sentence in PDHM that I mentioned earlier? Could you figure which it was? Ye gads, that never fails to get me. Yewww!!

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
