  "the ephemeral presence of that unseen other, who seemed to always be nearby, watching and listening" 

  - good line Louise... 

    Sometimes don't ya just get tired of the distances between us and those we love, the 'unseen others'.

  Sometimes, I think, our lives are a symphony of sorrowful songs.

  Sometimes, don't ya wish... that the angels would just break through and take you with them... 

  Hmmmph...  soon enough.. I suppose...  Soon enough.



what a lyric!
 
" I just wish I hadn’t changed too late for you, little darlin."

tears, tears, tears; whenever  you mention "him" Louise

I have no idea where I am moving to!  Probably out of Germany but that is about all I know at the moment!

huh, you seem to be kind of international moving around. Excuse my curiosity, are you German or you just worked there?

I am working here.  This is my third stint in Germany.  Prior to that I spent 7 years working in Canada.

Hello! Back from a tough day slaving over the books. My brian aches. ITIL - such joy!

Anyway, two chapters awaiting me. Yipee!  ;D

SPOILERS


I love what Ennis has got for Ellery, discreet, but very symbolic. Did you have to think long and hard about what you wanted the boys to give each other as tokens?

Was happily reading along and then you hit us with the closet scene. Really brought a tear to my eye Louise, honestly. Poor Ennis, in a way it would be easier for him if he could simply leave Jack out of mind - but that's not the Ennis we, or Ellery, know and love.

As always a conversation between Wes and Ellery is an entertaining read. They have such a good rapport. Looks like Ellery may have another opportunity to cross swords with ADA Samuelson.

Oh and I loved this line - "offered Dupree thousands a dollars ta pay off his student loans cause he has pretty hair or somethin.”
 ;D

Hope you're feeling rested today.

Karen
