Between Here and There

“She was having a helluva time tightening her skate.”

This quotation from Catcher in the Rye  was suggested
by a rather different quotation, source not attributed,
posted tonight by a Hollywood celebrity.

The death date of the quotation’s source  was apparently
October 22, 2014.  See, from that date, the Log24 post

Claves Regni Caelorum.

Sunday in the Park with the Welldigger

“… the walkway between here and there would be colder than a witch’s belt buckle. Or a well-digger’s tit. Or whatever the saying was. Vera had been hanging by a thread for a week now, comatose, in and out of Cheyne-Stokes respiration, and this was exactly the sort of night the frail ones picked to go out on. Usually at 4 a.m. He checked his watch. Only 3:20, but that was close enough for government work.”
