A guy just can't go away and enjoy himself. I mean, I play a tiny bit of
hookie to watch the wonderful new Jays display their prowress on the field
and return to find more messages than a bloated bananafish can handle.
Mattis, ignore Scottie, and enjoy your refound youthfulness. Have you
changed drug plans recently? Tim, what a classic post, with the obsidian
OSR tagged on at the end! No one took me up on my offer of bus fare.
Catherine, once again, WOW! You'll love New York.
Sometimes it's all a bit overwhelming in the bananafishbowl....
But how about them Jays?!?!?!?
Cheers,
Paul
OSR--In some ways, JDS was almost the opposite of a sports writer. Sports
writers describe utterly insignificant events as though they mattered more
than anything else in the world--and those who are truly magical can cast a
spell that convinces us it's true.... Jerry, on the other hand, tackled
absolutely overwhelming topics in a style that can seem, at times,
misleadingly uncomplicated, and almost unimportant.... (I was about to say
that I'd rather go to game seven of a World Series with Roger Angell than
sit in the Glass bathroom with JDS and Zooey when it struck me that our
reclusive mentor would never agree to such a meeting, and I'd never want to
be stuck alone beside a steaming bathtub with a naked Z. Glass! Perhaps
this means I'm a bad bananafish, and I should ask Tim to take me off the list?)
Cheers,
Paul
