I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Since Limehouse was fulfilling Mags' wishes in giving the money to Loretta, he was probably also fulfilling her wishes in not telling that to Dickie. Otherwise Dickie would have gone after Loretta.

But then I guess I have forgotten how Dickie did find out eventually.

When they first gave Dickie the cooler with the smaller amount of money, they told him there were receipts in there. Dickie didn't look, but I have to wonder what those receipts said.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Joan = all class.

Ken Cosgrove is so my favorite, now.

I loved the way that she just calmly got up and opened the door, then sat back down.

I loved the interchange at the whorehouse bar with Don and the madam.

Victor Kartheiser did some great work tonight, from his desperate need to impress Don at dinner, to the exchange with the hooker, to the conversation in the cab.

Great writing tonight as well. loved the scene where Don calmly and efficiently fixed the sink while Pete was still screwing around with the toolbox.

Yeah. What's up with Don accepting his past? Weird.

So much good stuff in this one.

ION: I think I like The Killing again. The more it's focused on Linden and Holder the better it works for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"I read the one in Galaxy about the girl who lays eggs? Wow."

Heh!

I saw a little spark building between Lane and Joan but I didn't think anything would happen for years. Bam.

Trudy handling Don was just as much fun as watching Peggy handle Roger last week.

I could watch a whole movie of that.

to the exchange with the hooker,

"Nope. Nope. Yeah, that'll work."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Galaxy is one of the more literary-minded SF magazines. I'm not sure if Damon Knight was editing it back in '66, but 'Ben Hargrove' is rubbing shoulders with the like of Theodore Sturgeon, Harlan Ellison, et al.

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

Joan is my favorite.

"Ben Hargrove" is a great SF pen name - I had to do a mental check to see if they'd stolen a real pseud because it sounded so much like someone I ought to have heard of.

Also, the internet has answered all our prayers for a GIF of Pete getting punched in the face.
