Pasternak and Bradbury greeted each other

  • Pasternak and Bradbury greeted each other warmly at Peredelkino. Oranges glowed in a bowl, tea brewed in a samovar, and crows and owls congratulated each other in the autumn wo
  • Ods whilst ten people nearby had copies of their books ready to be signed. Bradbury had homemade dandelion wine, freshly bottled.
  • He was surprised how sober you could get drinking dandelion wine. Since he was always drunk, it was a good thing to have around. However, book signings always bored him, so he
  • signed off. He loved books. They were his friends. Clarisa too. He floated downstream on a river of words. They carried him far & wide into worlds only he dreamed of.
  • The words brought him useful information like "How to have a social life" and "How to talk to strangers", it was just putting it into practice that was the hardest part. Clarisa
  • twisted her finger together as he approached, but let them fall limp as his voice died in his throat and he walked past without a word. Words only gave information, not the courage
  • to say what must be said. She hesitated, but then turned on her heel. "So is that it then?" she said, louder than she intended. It wasn't a regular thing for her to be so assertive
  • but she was damned if they were gonna watch another UFC Fight Night instead of Jane by Design. She'd play the conjugal rights card if necessary- though only as a threat, of course
  • she knew he really liked Jane by Design more than UFC Fight Night. He just acted as if he didn't because his father was a UFC Fighter who was supposed to be on an episode of Jane
  • by Design, playing a Haute Couture jockstrap designer named Kanye Westmount. If the UFC had found out...well...he would've had to change his name from Bruce to Kathy. Ouch!

    That was an unusually coherent story! I think I had better check the ephemeris ...
