Sachs wound up in the Sack with Lulu. Somewhere in this text, I found the number 156, and an extraneous carriage return that broke my flow, causing me to wonder whether you stepped out to pick up your shirts at the Chinese laundry? I became curious about a Baccarat glass of Branneri pink gin. Sounds exotic.

On a personal note, I thought of my parents (how the mind makes connections?) my father’s family hailed from the Kosice region of Slovakia. My mother’s favorite actor was Paul Newman. The odd coincidence is that while exploring my DNA history on Ancestry, I was surprised that Newman’s ancestors lived twelve miles away from my father’s.
