<< however that I realized to what extent I took just those last few pages of
 the book and how much doing things for "the fat lady" became a sort of
 existentialist mechanism for creating and developing myself. Err...I don't
 think that explaination was at all clear.  Does anyone have any ideas or
 thoughts about "the fat lady" at the end of the book?  I know for me it
 was probably about the most important fifteen or so pages I have ever
 read. >>

When I read about teh fat lady... I practically dropped the book. It certainly
wasn't the most important fifteen pages I've ever read because I constantly
read things out of Salinger and others just not as often that strike me to the
point of either laughing or crying or grinning or just plain getting chills
and that was one big one. It just makes so much sense. EVERYONE is the fat
lady! I do try to apply to life and remember that everything is part of
everything...
