Roy,
Thanks again for talking with me after Nora's funeral. I emailed your friend Ruess. He's giving me a chance, I think.
You called him a spoiled priest. Care to elaborate?

Lange,
He was a minister for awhile. When I first met him years ago he was the embodiment of idealism. He claims the wine and women never got him, but the doubt finally did. I respect that.
Ruess and his wife, Jane, used to have me over on Friday nights for tacos when Sherry and I first divorced. Those two people kept me from drowning. Jane died two years ago come November. Goddamn cancer.

Roy,
Thank you.
This series knocked the breath right out me.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Please -- more.

Doubt... not sure it's as bad as it's rap, as long as it's not the core of life for us.
ReplyDeleteSeems to have saved Ruess from a life of idealism and pastoral desperation.
