they liked different things but...

He liked jazz, old school masters, John Coletrane, Miles Davis, and Thelonious Monk. She was a rock and roll girl, mostly alternative with an occasional Dixie Chicks ballad thrown in. He liked to eat chicken-fried steak, garlic mashed potatoes and hash for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. She was strictly vegan and only shopped at the health food store off Lamar and 6th. But they liked the same beer and after a couple of them, they had everything in common.

Excellent storytelling! The story is so vivid and is well put together, especially considering the length. There is so much truth seeping from the last line. I give another brilliant vote for this story.

I love this.... a motion picture in flash form... to say this is brilliant would be a serious understatement.

Well done, well done indeed.
