Author Reading on a Hot Afternoon
Yesterday afternoon, my friend Bernadette organized a reading in a private home. About eight authors presented an eclectic mix of poetry and prose. My wife read a short story she's intending to send out. And, despite a five-minute time limit, I got a good response from "Dagon and Jill." (At least the portion I could read in five minutes.) Hot as the surface of Mercury outside, but the air conditioning worked and there were numerous fresh-baked goodies. We stole several small, easily pawnable items from our host but we're caught and asked to return them. This marred the event somewhat, but will make a nice story for the next one.

If "Dagon and Jill" has any connections with H.P. Lovecraft's Dagon, then consider me a fan!

Pawnable items, that could mean ANYTHIMG in Alabama. We put some roof vents out by the road one day, they're at the pawn shop a week later
Aww, no video?
Next time, I'll try roof vents.
No, takineko.
Though I am wearing your friend's favorite shirt.
Nate,
Yes, it is a cross between a children's textbook and HP Lovecraft.
So few exist; and so few of those have a pop-up section.
Those are runner's legs
