ABOUT POSTING TO BLOGIT

CHAPTER 13 – LICENSE AND TITLE, PLEASE

An hour after his blunder with Jasmine, Al knocked on Jake’s door just as Jake was about to leave for the Owl & Thistle. “I know it’s short notice, Man, but I got fired and wrecked my car. I need a place to crash. My cousin’s coming from Boise to pick me up, but he can’t get here until tomorrow.”... Sign in to see full entry.

CHAPTER 12: BREAKING UP IS HARD - cont'd

“No, but... I didn’t come here for this,” she said. “I don’t ….” “Okay, if that’s how you want to play it. Tour’s over, baby. Button your shirt. Go.” “Al, don’t be mad. I’ve never....
