I really liked this piece Chuck. We always start out that way dont we, then say what we think would be better.Such a strange dance we do here. I dont know about the others but I had one question when reading. " Why cant she have someone ? " I kept waiting to read how she had been home bound by some terrible accident or some unusual illness. Maybe it is just my romantic nature or undying faith in fate but hard for me to accept that anyone is doomed to a life alone.Even the pudgy little man, Charlie, who shaved before signing in, shared my views. PS: Great pictures..and yes just as in your written vignette the visual version left me wondering about more.
