It was drizzling rain . . . on my window pane. Its my town, its wet, but my finger is on the pulse. Its 1:15 a.m. - and its Sominex time - can’t sleep. . .
"Dollface, didn’t I tell you to get some Dr. Scholl’s Odor-Eaters for those Black Stiletto Pumps you wear? And baby - your toes feel like ice-cubes - - what’d you do, get a pedicure at the North Pole?"
"But Sugar . . ." I’d had all a man could stomach . . .
"Dollpuss - beat it - go get me a pack of Tiparillos and a 12-pack of PBR - and, hey -
You see that crumpled pack of camels in the litter box, throw it to me on your way out . . .
"And baby-doll, you really ought to pick up some more SlimFast - your back side is looking a little too well-fed!"
After it seemed like forever, she dabbed on a bit of SugarBaby Perfume, and slammed the door.
Solitude! Now, to crack my knuckles . . . my damn typewriter is begging me to write. Its this damn 30-year Reunion at Vandenberg. Here is the known line-up and a hint of what to expect:

These Camels are sooo good, you know . . . its almost like LIFE is good! - I just smoke ‘em right down and get scorch-lipped! Can’t pull my hands away from this damn typewriter. . .
(Knock on the door) "Hey, Sugar! How’s my little Shakespear?"
"Dollface, what took you so long? I’ve got a back-ache. Why don’t you slip into those Black Stiletto Pumps and walk on my back?
But first, get me a PBR and put my favorite movie in the DVD - Chinatown - I need some "Jake Gittes" to soothe my nerves - I have a 30th Reunion to attend in 6 weeks!
Ah, that’s good - real good baby . . . a little lower . . . that’s it!
"But Marlon!
"Shut-up Dollface, just keep walkin’ - low-back, Dollface, low back

FROM THE AUTOMATED DESK OF KEN LINDEN, August 31, 2007:

Best,
Ken"
FROM STEVE CUMMINGS, August 31, 2007:
"Larry-
Great update to the blog today. I have indeed had email messages blocked due to my last name. …also wanted to name my son Richard but realized that was not such a good idea. …been known to answer to “Scummie”, “Scumbucket”, Scumbag” and others that would definitely get blacked by your spam filter and get the FCC after you.
Apparently you never got wind of the nickname suitemates Charlie McGibony and Doug Martin gave me, “Short.” – for a reason only suitemates would know…
See ya in October."
