Miss Yvonne always reminds me that Mr. Henry didn't get to
be the way he is by living in a nice little house behind a
white picket fence.

For December 16th, in honor of all the Mr. Henry's out
there:

You're welcome!

That one still upsets me every time I read it, even though I
wrote it.

I vividly recall exactly when the essential fact of Mr.
Henry's experience that night sprung into my head - it was
like a kick in the stomach.

Thanks for reading,
Bob

It'd be a helluva lot better world if more things like this did.

I find that the older I get the more these kind of things upset
me. It's getting so that I'm glad that it's dark in a theatre
showing a tragedy.

Some folks will never get it. I guess you have to have been there.
