Dear friends, I might've mentioned before that I'm currently working on a memoir project: Put Me in the River. I'm typing up my hand-written draft. It's a bit of a slow process, but fairly satisfying once I'm done with a chapter. Chapter four is done so far,
We entered the church before midnight. The ceremony had already started when we got there, and we were the last ones. We certainly were an odd combination, and most definitely not fitting in: two non-believers, and a half-believer. The priest was giving his speech, of

I think I told you on the phone how this town has lost the meaning of time, and that nobody really cares. The church bells ring, but people don't seem to care. Their lunch breaks are on-time, and they drink coffee a few times a
