L.D. was wealthy enough to offer Jack his freedom.   ;)
I just want to celebrate another day of living.

Marsha Lance of Yakima, Washington, was the only person in the Yakima Herald-Republic's "Pick the Oscars" contest to guess the winner in all ten contest categories, including "Best Director" Ang Lee.  (She won $100 in Mercy movie money.)

Not of any great relevance
but still a "Y".

"Z" is zealously

When he got news of Ennis' divorce, Jack was elated.
He drove zealously for 14 hours to get together with his beloved Ennis ...
only to be disappointed.  :'(

"A" is artistry

Ennis thought Alma was capable of artistry in "fixing up" their ramshackle house (we saw that she didn't have much talent in that regard, either in the house or in their subsequent apartment).

"In August Ennis spent the whole night with Jack in the main camp and, in a blowy hailstorm, the sheep took off west and got among a herd in another allotment."    [short story]

"D" is dreaded

Alma dreaded another pregnancy so she asked Ennis to use "protection" which put a damper on the party.
