A spellbinding mini-memoir from our friend the PPRScribe. My favorite moment: a neighbor, visiting the Scribe and her husband in their garage, goes on a bigoted rant about a Japanese guy who lives down the street. Their reactions:
The Mister, who is less tactful than I am, got up and abruptly walked into the house. Leaving me to say, “__________.” (I leave that blank in the hopes that I come up with a sufficiently appropriate anti-racist come-back to insert later.)
There’s also a very nice photo with the post.

/ January 27, 2010What I meant to say is I don’t know whether, for example, the featured story is supposed to illustrate morals or humor or irony. I don’t understand the intent- the story leaves me confused.
