It's back in it's place and possibly usable again. :) A happy ending perhaps. I do like the fact that I was able to inspire sympathy for a rusty charcoal grill in more than one person.<BR/><BR/>The moral of this, Trevor, is: Despite my generally high opinion of myself, I'm occasionally really thickheaded and foolish. What I mean by that Salinger comment is, I hate Salinger and I actually did throw that "classic" Catcher in the Rye across the room after reading it, I hated it so.<BR/><BR/>Don't arouse my ire, Latty, with that drivel. But thanks for the kind words, though. :)Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337883736748271928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881420.post-1152865278162606392006-07-14T03:21:00.000-05:002006-07-14T03:21:00.000-05:00"I think I even miss that goddamn Maurice.
