In the midst of the Gallery and drabble postings etc, did you folks happen to notice I posted a new chapter today?

just in case it got missed:

http://louisev.livejournal.com/61012.html  "Chapter 41: Lies, and More Lies"

I am home and writing again so I will be updating again.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

Louise, this is what I want to know...when Ellery got out of the shower to talk to Wayne, did he wear that skimpy little robe or did he throw something else on?

Leave it to you to ask.  If Ellery's thighs walked into that room uncovered, Wayne would have commented and Ennis would have leapt out of his chair.  Let me put it that way.

I had a feeling but I just wanted to clear that up...as I run the movie in my mind  ;)

We have so few women in this story, I think we need to cast Carol, the admin in Ellery's office. I vote for Lily Tomlin who began her career as Ernestine the telephone operator (Carol seems to take a lot of phone messages). I saw Lily in Prairie Home Companion this weekend and she was probably the only reason I didn't go sound asleep! LOL

Leslie - 
I updated the Galleria with bigger pics of Ellery's car and house.  :)

I also have a Carol, but she is much more tame than yours!  ;D  Yet has that flirty look about her ...

I picture Edna looking more grandmotherly...she is always putting chicken and biscuits in baskets, after all! (That couple looks familiar...aren't they in a Viagra ad???)

I like that Bill...just on personal grounds, I mean. And remember, there had to be some sort of physical attraction to keep Ellery involved for four years, more or less...
