I'm with O.Z on this! Quite enjoyable!

And I caught the Dr. Seuss reference as well!

Hey, MLC! - Glad you liked it. It was a lot of fun to write and I'm glad you poked back on Dr. Seuss.

Mitzie - Thanks! I'm so happy you enjoyed it.

Giving this a bump in hopes it will warm your heart, on this blustery Monday morning

Okay, I started cracking up at the description of Logan getting out of the Dodge Dart in the overcrowded garage and never stopped. But this gem:

nutmegger911 wrote:“It’s not like that. We were saving them to build a house. We read an article about this guy in New Mexico who built a house out of beer cans. So me and CindiLou – ”

“Who?” The crease between his eyebrows deepened.

“That’s right. You know her, too?” Logan looked surprised.

“Who?!”

“Yes. CindiLou.”

Mick looked confused.

“Never mind. That’s not the point....

I am assuming that Logan's CindiLou's last name is spelled "Hu"? Oh lord -- too funny!

Poor Mick, struggling to extricate himself from the trash pile in the kitchen. And the poor man obviously forgot what he even went there for since he was in such a hurry to leave.

(Pssst, um, Hoarders hotline? Yeah, I gotta hot one. It's a fictional character in Nutmegger911's library. His name is Logan. L-O-G-A-N. How soon can you schedule an intervention? ... Okay, thanks.)

Oh, Moonlighter.

Glad you got a kick out of it. Logan really does have some original ways about him.

The exchange about CindiLou was one of my favorite bits of silliness in this. A lot of people know her, but they mostly seem to remember her as "not more than two."

This is fabulous!

I remember it from the Coffee House.

Sigh. Those were good days...

Hey Jen!
Thanks for stopping by for a re-read. And thanks for the coffee house recommendation.
