Hi Jai,
I had no idea that the G.O.D. trucks, so ubiquitous on the paved ribbons wrapped around Jersey, ranged as far as the Midwest. That's interesting. Maybe you're right about a book (if I'm ever up to writing something that long). I could see drivers in white coveralls with embroidered tags bearing names like Mike and Uri (short for Uriel) and Gabe (carries a case with a trumpet in the front seat beside him). I guess you can't take the Catholic out of the boy, especially urban Irish Catholicism as I've experienced it. It has a certain tongue-in-cheek quality to it, a knowing wink and roll of the eyes. Thanks for all your posts. You're very sweet, and it means a lot for a writer just reclaiming his skills (and his mind) after almost a decade to have his offerings read by another writer. Ta. :) Atticus
