flew direct baltimore to detroit. think about that. overheard:
'my mother had a version of irish alzheimer's. she forgot everything but the grudges.'
'i always thought of myself as an honor's student. yes, your honor. no, your honor.'
'i have a spare one of those airplane oxygen masks. i like to wait until mid-flight when the guy next to me has gone to sleep, then put it on and nudge him real gentle till he wakes up.'

..and grapefruit-scented casino lavatory soap.
underground-partied in abandoned buildings..
..with innovative guitar picks.
heard a great band name idea: 'jenny mccarthy and the we-don't-vaccinate-our kids.'
late-night dined in coney island..
home to steady-armed servers..
..heels that double as vampire stakes..
..and genealogy disputes that pit brother against brother.
