I'm tempted to keep this going. I almost said "Volvo" but something nudged me to throw in Subaru at the last moment. Probably because I've been casting a covetous eye at the new Forester. Oh Susan.

Enough with the book, just come back and play! *Joe* - Sigh. I have a Subaru. Subaru was even one of my many nicknames in high school. And even though I saw PIL in concert, I had way more Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick records. Go ahead and say it - "She's not hardcore. Not even close." mattilda - Thank you. That means the world to me. Lauren - I'll be reading that one! xo Aurelio - I’ve missed you! Enough with the book, just come back and play!

It's about a window washer named Delilah Sampson who suffers from having an addictive personality. When she reads a pair of shoes described in a book, she becomes so fascinated, she seeks out the shoes. She falls in love with the shoes and winds up taking up her father's addiction - professional gambling - working her way through casinos from CT to LV to feed her Choo habit. And, yes, there's plenty of window-washing action. Come to think of it, there are lots of scenes with yo-yos and even one with Tom Jones too.

You are definitely hard core in my book after reading the blue dress story. Public Image huh? As long as you didn't drive to the show in a Subaru that's fairly hard core. I will admit it. I once owned the sound track to "Pretty in Pink" and wore a Member's Only jacket with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. But I never held a boom box over my head playing "In Your Eyes" to woo a girl. It was a New Order song. Oh Susan. You are definitely hard core in my book after reading the blue dress story.

I have this unreasonable fascination with window washers and tree limb cutters (the ones who climb the tree in special shoes and wear a cable. Lance - Oh no. You know when a wordsmith uses the word "something," he has decided to skip over the words he fears might be insulting. Lauren - Do you ever write about it?
