However, knowing how people around Blogger like to goof around... Here's a few questions only Skip can answer:<br /><br />1. What was the play we were in when we first met?<br />2. Who was "the big-nosed kid?" (The one you dated, not the super-villainess from "Hawklad?")<br />3. What was my first paid writing job, thanks to you?<br /><br />I will not take a chance on stepping on anyone's toes by printing "Jack" unless I'm sure.The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-86598596596283371332009-05-15T11:51:00.000-04:002009-05-15T11:51:00.000-04:00Hi.

Sorry, just kidding!!!<br /><br />The good(?) news is that sometime in the next few weeks, I'll be telling the story of the Simpson/Lynch partnership. (But don't hold your breath; I have many irons in the proverbial fire at the moment.)<br /><br />And by the way, after that surreal phone call from Roland himself, the only other mention of Roland in "Jack" is at the story's end, when Jack is advised by his dad to sell his ruined Jeep Cherokee to a junkyard called "Roland's Wrecks and Repairs."The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-80314932507090740482009-05-14T19:38:00.000-04:002009-05-14T19:38:00.000-04:00That Jack is the dullest tack don't ya think?
