You have a tremendous talent for
observing, and I love your tone of almost clinical detachment...

Conversations like that remind me of those old-fashioned gramaphone records that got stuck so you heard the same musical bars over and over again.

Wow. You have a way of sucking your readers right in. Plus, who of us haven't known someone like June? You hint to them that the conversation may not be appropriate for younger ears, and they plow along like they didn't even hear you; because their pain is more important than anyone else to them. An awesome read, Pat.
