Jerry,
Your story is both charming and a bit fanciful, proving that you truly do have the heart of Southerner beating beneath your gently heaving chest. I like that about you. Yes, it is true...ever since the virtual death of my partner --I'll call him Mr. Kennedy (I grieve for him still...sniff, sniff)-- life has been a little challenging, to say the least. First, of course, I have had to suffer the slanderous accusations that I escorted him to his grave (again, a virtual one) a little early. Am I not an instrument of the Lord's will? I think so! And, yes, I did have to return to New Orleans on not one, but two occasions to --what's the expression?-- settle affairs. I am so grateful to whoever it was that put me on the airplane home, and for the cash that arrived in the mail shortly thereafter.
I do regret having to shoot that Yankee. But his thoughts were impure, his pockets were lined with jewels and I am frankly just a little tired of turnips. For the record, my thoughts at the time were "He can't be serious....that's it....closer...closer."
I know that if you take the long view of what has transpired....if you pull back and pan the battleground, so to speak, all you will see is fire and human carnage, all you will hear is men crying for relief, and all that will be left is devastation, and, you now, wills and testaments, for which I am grateful. Please don't think that just because I mounted the masked horse and rode out of this that I caused all of it. It's so easy to jump to conclusions!
But Tara...right now, it is the only thing that matters. And I have the deed! And if I have to lie, cheat, steal, evade and take full advantage of the intricaices of the law for which I am well-trained, then so be it.
Mikewj:
"Midnight" is a great book. In, fact, I just shipped it over to Hawaii (along with some others). My favorite quote from that book is his statement that it (Savannah) is like "Gone with the Wind on mescaline". It's certainly true. I am so very proud to say that I was kicked out of the Marriott Riverfront there, and that, when I left, I demanded that another guest return a book to me: Yep..."Midnight".
Devany -- you mean to tell me these were a trend? I thought my (faux) pearl tie was very rare. I need a back up as the clasp has slipped a little. And yes....Black and White night....that's it, although I don't know why anyone would want to wear black.
Jerry: Disguise yourself and go to Wal-Mart They have memmory books.
Anyone know where I can get some breadfruit starts?
