Oh Louise,

That's so funny, how can you not remember writing that?  It's practically the last few lines of the chapter.
LOL

I was at a 'club' tonight... I was on the lookout for E and E.  Didn't spot them, sadly.  There were lots of beefy guys in bouncer/security shirts.  I couldn't help but think, "Is this what it is like at the Red Stallion?  Surely not."

I am rereading the saga from the beginning.  Does everyone remember how naive Ennis was at the beginning of Taking Chances?!!  I love this quote from chapter 20:

“Uh, Ellery, what is with you two? You go at it like cats and dogs.”
“Bill an me got history, Ennis.”
“Oh. You grow up together or somethin?”

LMAO!  How do you spell CLUELESS?!! :D



What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)

...and man do my feet hurt.  Sweaty, grumpy, and struggling to express myself verbally in my mother tongue but otherwise, peachy!

Louise took a rest and recovered from her night in the airport. After that, we walked around the corner and had a nice lunch at a middle eastern restaurant. Louise had lentil kofte and chicken. I had lamb on a stick and a tomato, cucumber, onion and feta salad. It was very good except the service was slow at the end.

Now we are back in the room and Louise is promising me she will haul out her computer and begin typity type typing, altho I haven't seen evidence of it yet. I'll start bugging her...
