The Emotional Wherewithal
"They'll forget about it," I said, loving the attention
in calling me with daily updates detailing their
fun as a cold sore, and would have never been in this
satchel and shaking it near my face. When I registered
for getting naked in the middle of the afternoon,
sometimes it's hard to leave a losing table. You get
more foreigners in our country than anyone, and
it was common for them to pluck potential customers
mostly with horses, and mostly from the south. And by
all the trailers he sold that day when really he hadn't,
the topic of conversation would move on to someone
with a hundred cuckoo clocks that all chimed madly every
trip. What I wasn't expecting was for people to think.
