and what WERE they doing with that figurine

True to my word, with good old Edith Wharton in mind, I’ve written a new Sage Words column.

If you don’t want me to spoil the story, you should go read it now and then come back.

Back already? Did you like it? I hope so.

Almost all of it is true, although I fudged the time and place quite a bit. The real story took place in a library in Kansas City when I was eighteen, and I never did know what the woman looked like. That was my first attempt at plopping Todd into a fictional situation, and it was extremely fun, although a little harder to do when he’d arrived home and was sitting in the living room reading a book.

Did I mention that I’m highly pleased with myself? That higher wattage coming from your monitor is actually the shine off of my teeth because I’m beaming so hugely.

I’m different! I’m different!
