Cricket in a Fist (2008)
“One week ago, I opened my mailbox to your handwriting. I read your letter once, then drove to the middle of the bridge and tossed it in the bay. Three years and five bullshit letters — and then this. You clearly weren’t looking for my blessing, since you did it first and told me later.
You must wonder why I decided to respond after all. Was it the suspicion, sneaking into my mind over the course of the week, that I should take some kind of responsibility for skeletons I left in the closet you’v...e chosen to occupy? Or maybe the memory of all those nights we spent drinking at the Laff, debating brain vs. mind? No, Steven, at the risk of causing a rift in your newfound domestic bliss, I’ll tell you something you don’t know. Two days after your self-congratulatory confession drowned in the Pacific Ocean, I received a postcard with the same news again. It was from Quebec City, a lovely picture of the Chateau Frontenac. Have you ever noticed that Ginny’s handwriting looks compulsively neat at first glance but turns out to be practically illegible when you go to read it?MoreLess
