The perking coffee perked up sleep-deprived Jack who was commuting four hours a day and had spent his nights checking for coyotes.

Ennis opens the door of the refrigerator and removes a half-filled bottle of white wine, a legacy of Cassie.

The stale coffee is boiling up but he catches it before it goes over the side, pours it into a stained cup and blows on the black liquid, lets a panel of the dream slide forward.

"T" is tastes

Ennis was a man of simple tastes - beans, apple pie, beer, round steak and coffee. His taste for Jack was the exception.

From the kitchen window of the little ranch house, Alma has an unobstructed view of her clothesline the vast, high plains.

There is a ventilation fan - with its own power switch - near the range in Alma's Riverton 'above the laundromat' kitchen.

As Jack prepared the corn for boiling, Ennis drove up with a surprise:  beans just like the ones supplied by their x-boss, Joe Aguirre.


=compliment= Fran
Xcellent "X."
