I already "am" friendly .....HEY there ... I already "am" friendly ... but sure as shootin' like that I got a signature bar out of this BIJOU showcasing. Echo, echo all that the cool boys up there just said ... We want a series, Leon! Jacob Gunn's just begunn and folks'll remember they read him here first AT THE BIJOU!<br /><br />As MJ said, so timely your depictions -- I grew up around a turquoise formica table that I know Mom and Dad must've bought in the 1950's. Your rehab may be writer's dream'scape. (Remember when Anthony was on cold meds -- man oh man, did he crank cool stuff out then.) (Hey, if Ant comes around, tell him I like to read him when he writes cold sober too, but . . . just sayin'). <br /><br />~ Kate, who has the teals and knows how to use'em ... thankin' you again for the honour of debuting Jacob Gunn here AT THE BIJOU of Web*City.Kate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-66361060993612864542009-12-03T16:24:51.386-05:002009-12-03T16:24:51.386-05:00Amazing tale.

Cross between Dragnet and Sam Spade - a little Bogey and Jack Webb in this guy - great homage to the Katester giving her a bar, making her friendly and leaving her a big tip. What a guy. This piece just took me right back to the 50's i saw the whole thing with your grand descriptions - It was swell!Feel Better, though if this is what you can do when you are at half speed, look out world for the hat man.Michael Solenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120045114297450520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-28155992576530528662009-12-03T15:38:10.463-05:002009-12-03T15:38:10.463-05:00It looks like you've been using your rehab tim...It looks like you've been using your rehab time constructively Leon.
