(am I the only one who wants someone to write a Casablanca drabble for this week's topic)
(I first typed "right", which may explain why I don't do one myself right now.)
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Lee, that was my first thought when Teppy posted the challenge: "Of all the gin joints..."
But how could it be said better? Unpossible.

Lee, I'm trying to come up with something suave yet succinct. It ain't coming.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, y'all, here's something random that may be of interest: I just got Lawrence Block's newsletter, and he's trying to clear space in his warehouse. As a result, he's selling off the audiobook version of his book Telling Lies For Fun and Profit. They're $20 a pop, but he'll sell a carton of 25 for $100. You can buy them off his website, www.lawrenceblock.com.

More info:
If you can use these for resale, you won't have to sell many before you're in the black. If you've got writer friends, you can fill their Xmas stockings for $4 apiece. This is, as you may have guessed, a good deal lower than our production cost, but we have to free up some warehouse space.
It's a limited offer—once we've sold down to the level we want, the deal's over. I want to give you newsletter subscribers first crack at this, so it won't be listed on the website. You can order on the web, however; just enter "25" for quantity. You'll get a confirming email automatically, with some ridiculous numbers on it, but don't pay any attention to that; David Trevor will send you a personal email confirming the sale and the real price.
Or, as always, you have the option of ordering directly by email; just include your credit card information (number and exp date) and your shipping address. If you've ordered from us before and your information hasn't changed, just include the last four digits of your cc number, plus the exp date.

Can't scribble in an audio book, can't dog-ear the useful pages. Sigh.

Yeah, it seems like that kind of book would be especially weird/not useful on tape, but I thought I'd mention it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's probably why he has so many to sell.

I actually do want that book. But I want the book.

Connie, he says the book is in print in a $12 trade paper. So you should be able to just, you know, buy it.
