“Wiggles had moved with me from New York. My steadfast companions after the divorce, they were named, nostalgically, for two of the happier times I remembered in my life: making it onto a formerly all-boys Little League team as a pitcher when I was eight; and getting an A+ on a sixth-grade science project that was a triumph of will over disgust—getting worms to reproduce.The cats had been a little skittish for weeks after the move. That was not exactly a surprise; the sounds of Bonerwood Drive i...n Nashville were very different from the sounds of New York City.
