Racoon Down

Is it?

There's a lot of living between 44 and the nursing home.

Do ten bad years remove the benefit of thirty good ones?

I'd take thirty good years and then ten shit ones rather than dying at
44.

 

Thank you. Someone who's actually fucking thinking.

 

Are you not actually happy then?

 

That's true enough, but given the choice at the moment I know which I'd
choose.

Very, very poor bait old man.

 

I suppose I can forgive you that, yes.

 

You've not read "The Black Veil", then?

Oh, and while I'm here, VAM, I'd recommend "If Nobody Speaks Of
Remarkable Things", I think you'd like it.

 

Yes, you

 

No, that wasn't it at all. It was a book,

But that wasn't actually the book I ment, it was another of the books I
read over Christmas, they've all merged together, I think we got
through about 14 each. The one I had in mind was "Basket Case" by Carl
Hiaasen
