March blew in my back door, and I knew the cold months were gone.  The
icicles were melting off the eaves in front of my office on Maine, and
children were starting to appear, joyously, on the streets in front of
houses newly shed of frosty panes and snowy rooftops.  Two boys batted
an old tin can as they slinked across a grassy overgrown lot, books in
each arm.  The City was awakening again; and so, similarly, was my own
life revived.  I need the city, and it needs me.  I'm an investigator.

Richard Sterns, age thirty-one, was sitting in my better chair.  Story
is, his wife disappeared without any trace.  No suspect.  No clues, or
guesses even.  One photograph, badly developed and wrinkled.  A single
letter, written in shaky handwriting, was left in the kitchen.  Sterns
either could not or would not identify the author.  I tsked, squatted,
reluctantly shouldered my rifle, and put a round into his left temple.

I do not have pierced ears.  I never wear jewellery of any type.  I have a
matt black Casio wristwatch, and matt black Italian-designed frames on my
glasses; apart from my clothes, that's it.

For Christmas, Helen bought me some moderately expensive perfume.  (Of
course, I'm not supposed to refer to it that way because it doesn't sound
macho, but let's be honest, it's perfume.)  I didn't think much of the idea;
I don't really want to smell of anything except soap and deo-perspirant. 

Eventually I decided it was a sort of territorial marker, like the way cats
rub themselves against you to mark you with their scent, and I'm getting used
to the idea.

I still don't like the idea of having needles shoved through my ears.  It
took quite a while for Helen to convince me that it didn't hurt to put her
earrings in.


Squeamishly and puritanically, mathew

last saturday, i went with a sizable group of people (most of them
part of either the uchicago bi union or uchicago gala) to see 
THE CRYING GAME.

(i'm not going to argue with c j as to whether it's a "talk.bizarre"
movie.  i *will*, however, say that it gets points for plot twists
guaranteed to freak the normals, and that one of the straights with us
was *very* quiet after the movie...)

in any case.

after the movie, in one of the world's perfect little followups, we
were approached by a derelict.

he very calmly walked up to our group, and, very politely, said,

"Excuse me.  Please tell Broadway to suck my prick for wasting my
time in the sixties.  Thank you."

then he turned and went off down the street, stopping to repeat his
message to broadway to every passerby, leaving us stunned by the
sheer ... RIGHTNESS of it all.
