Our summer neighbors were two women from Manhattan; “playwrights”, they said.
There was endless “lesbian” speculation.
The writers called their weekend cottage “Intermission” – tres cool!
Idiots foolishly obsessed over the whole gay thing.
“Who gives a fuck?” I argued. “They’re authors!”
“Says the storyteller!” the idiots jibed.

Intermission would be a great house name for someone’s last house…

Oh, yes, I agree. It’s absolutely perfect for playwrights, though!

Nancy, you do tend to find some great songs from some of my favourite singer/songwriters. This one being one. I’ve been following Elvis Costello’s (Declan McManus) career from the very beginning, when his aim was true 🙂

Thanks so much, Glyn. I try my best but I love it when someone comes along with an even better song. I can always count on my friend Ivor to do that!
I love the way you put that …. “when his aim was true”! 😁
I’ve become a fan of his wife lately, Diane Krall …. quite the sultry songbird.
