Scenes from a Relationship: The Trail of the Serpent Edition
Mike: Great.
Zach: Hm?
Mike: Well, it looks like the illegitimate child of Jabez North (now disguised as Raymond) is going to serve as some kind of nurses aide to Daredevil Dick, who thinks he's Napoleon or is at least acting like he thinks he's Napoleon, in the asylum he's been sent to after being unfairly found guilty of the murder of his wealthy uncle. We all know that it was actually Jabez North before he disguised himself as Raymond who murdered Dick's uncle -- only now, Jabez North disguised as Raymond has tricked Valerie into poisoning her secret husband, the opera singer. But I'm pretty sure that Valerie's husband isn't really dead, he's being kept hidden in the psychic/chemist's flat.
Zach: ...I--
Mike: I mean, the kid's only 8 years old now. What kind of help can he be? Sure, he's been raised by the mute police detective and the tomboyish Kuppins -- but does that mean he's ready for this kind of assignment? And will the mute marry Kuppins? Because that would be weird.
Zach: Do you talk to other people like this? Or is it just me?

1) Upon your recommedation I am reading NAKED by Sedaris. His writing reminds me of yours, only you are better.
2) Nerd question here: How do you make a strike-through on blogger? As in, how do you cross out a word? Can't figure it out.
3) Good luck with jury duty. I think they frown upon reading during testimony.
