It was a dark
and stormy night. I said, “My love, let us linger awhile longer.
Life is too short for worries of the morrow.”
She said,
“Okay, but we’re out of champagne, and I could use some
crackers.”
“Crackers?”
I said. “We’ll send out
for crackers.”
“And the
champagne?” she said.
I looked deep
into her saucy brown eyes. “That does pose a problem,” I said.
“But maybe we don’t need the champagne, if you know what I mean.”
She did
know. At least I thought she did. She ran her
fingertips lightly over my face. “I think there’s some beer in
the refrigerator,” she said.
[From
Chapter 14, A
Listening Thing]

William, with all that is going on in my life right now, I haven't had a chance to start reading this wonderful book of yours. I had hoped to start reading it last weekend, but as you know that didn't work out. It will be soon that I will be able to get lost in this wonderful story from cover-to-cover~~~
Well, Jan, our friend Stephen Monroe has waited this long, so I’m sure he will wait as long as necessary. This is life — there’s no choice but to take it as it comes.
This is so funny!! Love it... maybe then there are some dregs left in the old tequila bottles LOL... found you while wandering virtual space via Jan :)
Hi, there, Shelle — so nice of you to drop by. Tequila?... hmm... you could be right.
