“They would never #accuse him of treason. His celebrity and numerous connections were the perfect cover. The government would have to publicly admit their years of poor judgement and risk punishment at the ballot box. Some people, like some companies, were too big to fail.”

“Starting at the part by her uncle’s left ear, the combover rose like lines on a music staff over the top of his head, then fluttered to rest among sideburns on the right side. Unlike the rest of the family, she didn’t #cringe at the sight, instead she saluted the engineering.”

“She told him a week ago that the bathroom faucet had a leak, but he hadn’t fixed it. Only when he heard the #drip while restocking the medicine cabinet did he mention it to her like it was breaking news. It took a great effort on her part not to roll her eyes at his observation.”

“He believed in the wisdom of redundancy. He wore suspenders and a belt, just like Chester on ‘Gunsmoke’ and Lumbergh in ‘Office Space.’ Always carried two phones for a #chat , in case a battery caught fire. Second breakfasts were the norm. He enjoyed working for FEMA.”

“She loved coffee. Though she didn’t drink as much as Voltaire or Lorelai Gilmore, the steady buzz helped her day move faster. That’s probably why she also enjoyed #tap dancing, the rapid-fire dialog of ‘30s movies, and the way actors back then stretched out the word, ‘Say…’”

“When he was a kid, he used to live and die following the local club. A time before owners openly set cities against each other in a bidding war to build the swankiest ballpark on the public dime. His #team moved far away to a swankier new home. All he had left were ticket stubs.”
