S04E17 Tall tales -- He was walking slowly
In his dream he felt a horrible urge to urinate. This need ate at his viscera, sent chills vibrating through his spine into his shoulders and neck, bolting out of the top of his head. As long as he walked the pain was bearable, but when he stopped to try to figure out where he was, the spasms would cut deeply where his legs joined his body, he would rush on again, shivering violently.
Welcome back to Tall tales on you're listening to radio revel. This episode, called He was walking slowly, is the second fragment from the 1989 novel Exile which I began reading last time. I don't know how many of these I'll share with you all, it's been an interesting exercise in editing and evaluating the actual value of this material from over three decades ago.

S04E16 The women will take them down
Hello again!
Did you all notice that it was the "porn star" case that became the first criminal trial? Doesn't matter that secret documents were stolen and strewn about on the floor. Doesn't matter that threatening calls were made demanding illegal acts. Doesn't matter that rioters were convened and let loose on a governmental building. What matters is that he did/didn't take his clothes off with that woman who wasn't his wife, then tried to buy her silence, then tried to cover it all up. Don't we just love a good sex scandal?
The women will take them down is my look at this theme. I don't know if I'm right or not, but when all else fails, when no one wants to point out what they've really done wrong, we always seem to fall back on between-the-sheets behavior with these men.

S04E13 A visit to the Midwest -- Part one
I didn't really plan on ever going back to the Midwest. I'd moved to the East Coast years before, then to Europe, I actually doubted that I would ever set foot in the USA again.
Still, circumstances after the few months I'd lived in Ávila led me and my mate to get on a plane, then a bus, and make those final visits to those haunts that I'd wandered through during the first two and a half decades of my life.
