...nice outside you play two, but you always, rain or shine, darkness or no, play one. That's a given. A bedrock assumption. So when it comes to the question of lights at Wrigley, I suggest we defer to Mr. Banks. After all, he socked more than 500 dingers, which to my mind makes him more of an authority on the game than Mr. Will...

...weekends Bianca often visits her grandmother, with whom she was especially close in the pre-Leonard days. Since Bianca and Sherri moved, Bianca's affections have shifted in the direction of her mother. Last November Bianca wrote in her school journal, "I would like to say something nice to a special person, Mom. My mom always stand by my side when I needed her. My mom always love me, took very good care of me. And always teached me wrong to right. I always love my mother." Mother and daughter grew up together. In some respects, they were raised more...

...instead of button, Ella's sensible shoes with heels th' size of hockey pucks, Emma's cute little shitkickers and Ellis' golden drugstorecowboy suit. I 'specially liked what th' two thugs (Laurence Thomsen n' Eric Oleson) wear: plaid bellbottoms n' white chaps, respectively (n' the yo-yo is a nice touch, Laurence).
