"N" is nicknaming

erusing the short story, one observes that Annie Proulx always refers to the del Mars' elder daughter as Alma Jr. Apparently, Larry McMurtry and/or Diana Ossana can take credit for nicknaming her Junior.

Yes, the sentence construction is awkward, but I'm open to suggestions.

:)

In other news, the new puppy arrived on Sunday. I'm exhausted.

ierre-Simon Lebrun-Chaput, François Lord, Alexandre Lafortune, Matthew Rouleau, Philippe Sylvain, Robin Tremblay, Bruno-Olivier Laflamme, and Jean-François Lafleur are credited as 3D artists in the end credits for the film Brokeback Mountain.

=reply= Sonja, Paul, and Sandy
Thanks for the good wishes re the puppy.  He and
Ember are drinking from the same water bowl at
the same time, so it looks like things are moving in
the right direction.  I've never owned more than one
dog at a time, so this is all new for me, can you tell?

"U" is utopianism
« Reply #22356 on: January 18, 2012, 05:02:37 pm »
ositive Jack, and fearful Ennis: the idea of a cow and calf operation was like utopianism, in the light of Ennis' deeply internalized fear of being outed.

Round 937!

We move along to the letter "Q".

Each post will begin with a word
that starts with the letter "Q"
and include an unplayed word
.



Remember when Cassie was pumping Alma Jr.
for information while Ennis was away from
the table, selecting songs at the jukebox?


We're going to have some of the quarters Ennis stuffed in
the jukebox assist us with this round, so please be sure
to include the following symbol at the beginning of your post:

"A" is appropriate

uietly watching her husband in a passionate embrace with his friend, Alma didn't think that was appropriate behavior for two fishing buddies.
