Five Fabulous Topics crammed into 11 minutes of conversation: A head cold, slutty drinks, the wondrous jicama, the Mystery Song, and non-fat French women. Fret not; there is no quiz and the cold only lasted one day!

The Intrepid Pair take on installing a new bathroom sink faucet. Thrill to the sounds of tools, water, marriage, and music! Better yet, get your own faucet kit and play along!

Reminiscing about a summer job with Patty, who always makes me laugh and who finally has a job she loves, working at the library. (Musical clips from "La Polka du Colonel" by Andri Popp.)

Kathy & her friend from childhood getting to, and into, the bus. Just the sounds of life, no big deal, but it adds up. (With a sentimental soundtrack from a group called "Danny Fong Extraordinaire.")

Our ex-chorus visits the state pen to sing. Voices of the interesting chorus characters (!), footsteps, doors locking behind us and opening in front...and a song.

Kathy teaches the young people how to change a bed and muses about other bed topics.

A melancholy short story (my first). It grew from the question, "Do our opinions have any value in the world?"
