I don’t think it’s just my damned good mood, but that gave me a whole lotta joy, kinda the way a particularly adventurous Vietnamese meal might, except that doesn’t convey the humor element. In case you didn’t know, you are a black-belt wizard with name creation.

Small sidenote: yesterday we attended the wedding of our daughter’s fiancé’s mom (her second). She’s 56, is married to a 72-year old guy named Billy.

He is much loved and we easily support this. I haven’t known her long, but everybody says it’s the happiest she’s ever been, and he’s a guy we all like hanging out with. Knows how to fix anything, generous and nice to all, good adventure partner for me

That was a good one!

Good chuckle at the ending.

Very long "short" fiction, but well worth the read.

Clever story title.

Again, this is perfect. I’m glad i waited till morning to read this.

It tasted as good as- maybe better -than sweet black coffee.

I still like it this morning too. I don’t always. I start picking at it, so I let you guys decide if it’s good.

A glimpse of a life most of us, son-of-a-factory-worker suburban kids, will never know. Well done.

What a nice "makes ya homesick" piece, Jimmy!

In a strange way, it made me think of Rivertown's own Bruce-Bruce. "A name so nice you have to say it twice."

Nice one.
