Bruce's eloquent delivery of spell binding stories is better than listening to Studs Terkel on NPR. I could read his posts over and over, then close my eyes as the characters come to life in my mind's eye. Donna-ski will often catch me dreamily living vicariously through Bruce's velvety posts. She, knowing of my transcendental yearning to walk through the monitor screen and join his stories, will often crack the back of my head with a pot or pan to cause the stars and birds that she knows add so very much to my cyber journey. The deep, therapeutic sleep that immediately ensues completes the cycle. Ahhh, refreshed again.
