"C" is commitment

Jack shows up and says “And here I am” at the pivotal point. Ennis, panicking because now he has to make a commitment or at least a decision, uses his daughters as his latest excuse.

  • Have a great day. . .
"E" is effaceable

Ennis was an effaceable guy, particularly when he and Jack first met.

Def: to make (oneself) modestly or shyly inconspicuous

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"G" is gallivanting

Jack drove down to Mexico and went gallivanting in Juarez.



Def. gallivanting: To roam about in search of pleasure (or amusement).

"H" is heels

Ennis "turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get them full on."  [story]

"I" is inference

Because of the ambiguity around Jack's death, we have to make our own inference.

Mika, gallivanting is my favorite word today.

"J" is jetsam

Ennis’s relatively few possessions in his trailer look like jetsam thrown up by the tide – what is a big inactive fan doing haphazardly placed on the bed, for instance?



=Aside=
Not *that* kind of fan – there isn’t any question why he/she would be on the bed!  ;)

Our boys lustily embraced each other.
