Good night, oh... and good luck with your Fourierism!

CK



you know perfectly the difference between How and Why, when you are talking about yourself. if I ask you, "Why did we go out today?" you would not answer, "Because we opened the door." The answer to Why we did go out is, "Because we chose to take a walk."

He hadn’t seen her for years, forgotten all about her. Then one morning a vision of pure light in a denim dress waltzed out of the Sprout Master with fresh carrot juice, and though this fantasia seemed oddly familiar, he rolled up curbside in his Datsun, announced he was new to town, asked for the way to the Nearmont driving range.

SLICE OF LIFE

SLICE OF LIFE IS A TINY SHOP NEAR THE RIVER MALL ENTRANCE, OR, I SUPPOSE, EXIT, DEPENDING ON YOUR WORLDVIEW. EITHER WAY, IT'S THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WHOLE JOINT THAT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE MALL. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT SMELLS LIKE HOME, IF YOU GREW UP A LONG TIME AGO AND YOUR MOTHER BAKED SODA BREAD ALL DAY WHILE YOUR FATHER WORKED THE BEET FIELDS, OR SMOKED HIS PIPE ON THE PORCH AND LECTURED THE LABRADOR ON THE MERITS OF WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF HOME.
WE HAD POUCH DINNERS AND REAGAN AND SUCH.
POINT IS, THE SMELL IN SLICE OF LIFE, THAT HOT BREAD SMELL, IT WILL CALM YOU, OR AT LEAST IT CALMED ME.
