From the fine print on the first postcard Jack sent Ennis:

The Old Butterfield Trail used by the stage coaches from St. Louis to San Francisco passed by here.

Randy Quaid: In 1997, I was in a gym, on a treadmill, and I was looking for something to read. I saw a copy of The New Yorker, opened it up, and started reading this story. I was just so taken with it that I swiped the magazine, took it home, and finished the story.

"I" is infrequent

Quoting Annie Proulx:

One thing never changed:  The brilliant charge of their infrequent couplings was darkened by the sense of time flying, never enough time, never enough.

XXX - zinfandel
« Reply #1329 on: May 02, 2006, 10:27:18 pm »
After careful review and consideration, the Moderators have determined that southendmd's "zinfandel" in Round 45 is hypothetical and not related to anything BBM. A replacement "Z" follows.
