ouncing a bed at a motel or paradisiacal trips to the Rockies, their meetings didn't happen nearly enough for Jack, nor Ennis, truth be known.

"S" is skittish

ack pulled a squalling burr out of the harmonica, flattened a little from a fall off the skittish bay mare, and Ennis had a good raspy voice; a few nights they mangled their way through some songs.

Southendmd,

You're welcome!   It's one of my favorite of Annie's descriptions from the short story, of the many, so I couldn't resist when I saw the letter J.  Ha!  So evocative - what a great story and film.  :)

ack was ready to catch Ennis when his muscle tonus gave, and he collapsed on the ground.

Next up is letter .

Each post will begin with a word that starts with
the letter "K" and, as usual, include an unplayed word.



Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana co-wrote
the Oscar-winning screenplay for Brokeback Mountain.

McMurtry uses a Hermes 3000 typewriter for scriptwriting,
whereas Ossana prefers using a computer.  We're going to have the "K"
from her computer keyboard assist us with this round, so please
be sure to include the following symbol at the beginning of your post:

"A" is averts

nowing how hard it is for Ennis to acknowledge his feelings for Jack, we are not surprised that he so often averts his eyes from looking directly at Jack.

owtowing to Ennis's fear, Jack said he wouldn't blab about their liaison:  "...nobody's business but ours".

"C" is cromulent

eeping the real nature of his friendship with Jack to himself, Ennis came up with "fishin' buddies" as a cromulent reply to Alma's question.
