She hadn't been critical of my driving the day we were heading back to school in the snow and I...stopped to pick up Duane and his twin sister, Laura. The twins shared the passenger's seat and Wanda had sat on the center console, pretending to use the edge of a domino to shave me. How things had changed.

She said the wound was well. His name was Roy Rogers, no relation, he was quick to point out. Roy was more than willing to play along though.

Part of the appeal of my place for him was the need for only a few pieces of furniture.I watched Roy and two of his friends as they moved in his full size, but still somehow small bed. then.
