good luck can do you some good, the universe will absolutely conspire to make
your dreams come true.”

Follwing up my “bad beat” story: I guess it’s been posted to USENet, which is just awesome, because now I know where all the alt.wesley.die.die.die people have been hiding for all these years. Look, the point of that entry was NOT what a terrible player I am. I know I should have listened to the…

More from the rewrite, with some overlap from yesterday: A huge smile spread across his face as he stood up. “W!” he said, “You look great, man!” I love it when he calls me “W” (pronounced “double-you”) — my whole life I wanted a nickname, and it?s the closest I?ve ever come. He closed the…

He said if I get there the 27th, I should be on time for the reading the 28th. [dates are still fuzzy for me, use caution.]
how sweet!
Paul-
my suggestion: call the barnes and noble (or whatever it was) in huntington beach and ask them, they should know. although a week before wil came to my Borders i had no idea he was coming. a customer told me. hopefully the barnes and noble employees are better informed lol
It’s amazing how just a few words can give you a surge of emotion. That was so beautiful. Great entry, Wil!
