Wonderful story!!! You all are setting a real high bar for my series preview debut on May 17. I'm really not worthy.

Seriously. RB needs to work on the denouement.

Sounds like it might have needed Bartender's Friend.

Seriously. RB needs to work on the denouement.

I just looked this up, and yes, yes he does.

I substituted myself for Ron and made my own.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Actually, I found it fitting that he left questions unanswered, as the Astros are poster children for unanswered questions. My imagination of the ending was worth experiencing. She was probably hard to get rid of is my guess. And there could have been a restraining order involved. Who knows?

I don't want to provide an answer key or annotation, but there's a fair chunk of metaphor lurking in those tales.
