" Johnny rolled the name around his memory like an oyster worrying at a nascent pearl."

Oh, that's a nice line. I like that line. Also, this story is yet another reason I'm glad I was homeschooled; I don't have to worry about ex-school buddies stealing my girl. My only schoolmate was my sister and she's a year younger than me. . :)

1. Not of late, no, although I did find an old action figure of Batman I used to play with when I was small recently, so that counts maybe?

2. Coffee? I don't believe I've tried espresso and I have had coffee. Didn't care for it but I tried it.

3. I do! I'm endlessly curious about other people's stories.

Meeting old High School friends can be awkward. You usually don't have anything in common anymore (hopefully not a wife. 🤣) A little "What are you up to?" or "Do you remember...?" and the conversation is over. "Nice seeing you, Bye."
