Fish in a barrel is one of my favorite games! The joke was on me. Naturally, it took awhile to figure that out: I did eventually break through here and there, however. A hotel clerk spoke little English, but when I arrived sans francs, she let me have a few beers on credit; the next morning, unasked, she drove me in the rain to the guy who rents cars.
But my favorite exchange came when I donated books to the library. Four Blondes , Candace Bushnell's tales of ultra-jaded New York women, is certain to give the librarian, lithe and catlike, far too sophisticated for this town, something to dream about. And so I will now rebut myself and my petty, snarky list of reasons to skip St. It's weird to rebut yourself, but you try to find someone else who's been there.
