Mrs. Hemingway .... “Living in Paris in attics and garrets, where the coal merchants climb every stair … Sometimes I look at old pictures and smile at how happy we were, how easy it was to be hungry.

"She was boarded up and gone like an old summer song,
nothing but an empty shell,
I pulled in and stopped into my old spot,
I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a paper bag,
Poured one for me and one for you as well ...
Then it was one more shot poured out onto the parking lot ...
To the Moonlight Motel" Bruce Springsteen
