Oh, Jim. None of those exotic dishes for you. Stick to ham & cheese. And mixed berry yogurt.
Author's Response: He just won't learn, will he? ;)

I love updates to this story.
“Maybe you should call her,” she says, and he can tell it hurts her to say it. Oooo...hurts to read it, too (in a good way, of course).
And this: “So, going for the old stand-by then?” she asks, smirking. Poor Jim. And poor Karen. I certainly don't toss that one around. In fact, it might be a first.
I hope Dorothy continues to provide you with inspiration :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you're sticking with me (and enjoying it). :) I try to make Karen as real as possible because we never really found out who she was on the show. She might as well have just come onscreen and said, "Oh, hi. I'm Temporary Roadblock, or you can call me Speedbump." I try to see beyond Speedbumpery, haha.
And I think Dorothy's got me covered, thankfully. :)

I have so enjoyed each of these chapters. I love the angst and glimpse into their thoughts at different points. The poems/parts of poems are so appropriate. Are you using poems from one Dorothy Parker book or several? I'd love to know your recommendations!
Author's Response: Thank you. :) Glad you liked it. I would recommend The Portable Dorothy Parker - it's a collection of her writings (lots of poetry). I love it. You can also find a lot of her poems online at poemhunter.com.
