In Montana I was in a little ghost of a town. We had to eat at a greasy spoon. The place was lined with books that apparently had belonged to the library in the town when the library existed. I found "The McBain Brief" and bought it for Martha. It is a collection of his short stories and I believe the copyright date is 1962. There are some AMAZING gems in this book. Now I get why you, Martha, love McBain. Most of the stories are told in pure dialog but the lessons, the TRUTH of these stories -- simply left me almost breathless. Let me know if you have this book Martha. I purchased it for you.
It's crazy around here. We are down to one car again. I can't get home long enough to get something done before it's time to pick someone up or drop something off.
aarrrggghhh
