A POV I'm grateful for and a great short story, "The Summer of '82" only to be made into a cash inhaling film complete with 80's wardrobe of short-short Boast tennis shorts, short-short Lili P tennis skirts, Le Coq tennis shoes and wooden Jack Kramers while a soundtrack cranks up a Flock of Seagulls, Big Country and early Bruce. The Mrs Robinson-like house wife drunkenly cruising the club for tennis and golf pros while her fat husband wonders why he's sexually attracted to the same men. If not a movie then easily a Mad Men episode with a changed STrack.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-64697423896172042322009-08-08T21:22:23.462-04:002009-08-08T21:22:23.462-04:00F Scott she ain't.

I'm out before the contest ever got goin' good. The fact that I say things like "ever got goin' good" is evidence why I can't write good shit like that.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-7671137320480526722009-08-08T07:45:53.483-04:002009-08-08T07:45:53.483-04:00Back to Charleston for the weekend so I will go ah...Back to Charleston for the weekend so I will go ahead and solve the puzzle here for both cultured and otherwise commenters: The belt is Gucci, acquired when I worked in Italy. It is on it's second leather, this one will not be replaced. As an astute type might have noted, it has been brazely chewn by my Akita rescue. The one who stands by my side during endless deloyments and came to me after a brutal attack on a city street where a man tried, very hard, to rape me and end my life. The bottle, Argyle, is a sparkling pink - Oregon. A vineyard run in part by the husband of my oldest friend - also a tennis player from Bedford G&T and a staffer. The art, I can assure you, is neither faux nor Italian"ate": It was the result of long deliberations on my Husband's part re whether to purchase or not while in Turkey - to remember his second wartime deployment - you know, in his lifelong quest as an officer to defend an idoits right to type anything they want.The Blushing Hostesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303502206261407536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-73673567523018577462009-08-07T21:34:47.776-04:002009-08-07T21:34:47.776-04:00Way to long in my opinion, and slightly annoying t...Way to long in my opinion, and slightly annoying to read.

What happened to your great Friday belts ...Tintin,<br /><br />What happened to your great Friday belts series?<br /><br />So this week it is "faux Italianate art, gauche Italian belt, and Oregan wine"?<br /><br />And then a story of "all the boys want me"? I worked at country clubs and now belong to one. Sadly for me, it did not happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-32670058678393295412009-08-07T12:56:23.486-04:002009-08-07T12:56:23.486-04:00"...others take a lovely, summery, blonde-blu..."...others take a lovely, summery, blonde-blue eyed muscular path. But they all end up in the same wasteland."<br /><br />The above pull-quote - and basically the story characterizations - reminds me a lot of the female leads in "The Last Picture Show" played by Cloris Leachman, Ellen Bursten and Cybill Shepherd. But then, I just saw the movie for the first time this week.<br /><br />I suppose some show up to play the game, and the rest come to "play the game."<br /><br />-DBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-17240615686218068892009-08-07T12:15:07.178-04:002009-08-07T12:15:07.178-04:00You really do want that book.You really do want that book.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.com
