"Hey Morrie, How goes it up there?"

"It's cool, Mitch. But you don't get harps. You get accordions."

You have a great point David, unless he continues to talk with him on Tuesdays after death through a medium

Comment by David Stafford on July 20, 2012 at 4:23pm

Hmmm, then shouldn't it be called "Tuesday with Morrie"?

Comment by DKeys on July 20, 2012 at 4:07pm

LoL--except he won't, as Morrie dies of ALS:)

"Yo Morrie"

"Yo Mitch"

"It's Tuesday!"

"Yep, it's Tuesday, alright."

"Tomorrow is Wednesday."

"That's what they tell me."

"Morrie, good talkin' with ya."

"Same here, Mitch. Catch you next week."

He has to reduce Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. I think some of these English teachers are more interested in bending students to their will than actually instilling a love of literature.  I don't drink, but I probably should. I love the way you are caressing that spleen shaped rock in the photo-

"As he led a reporter across the pile..."  I MUST know how this story ends David

I should have my son do a reduction of your story-would be much more entertaining

I've had fig reductions but not Chaucerian reductions. EB White once reduced a Hemingway novel to a single word: Bang. And someone else (anonymous) reduced Dave Barry's oeuvre to Booger. Who's getting reduced, Diane? Maybe I can lend a hand though I am a bit drunk at the moment. This will pass.

Yah, a literary reduction is losing weight while reading Chaucer. (Honest, if i remembered i'd tell you!)

Spleen-shaped rocks will keep me up tonight.

Any  of you literary brainiacs know what  a literary reduction is? My son needs to do one and the instructions are about as easy to understand as assemble it yourself furniture.  some kind of free form, stream of consciousness synopsis spreadsheet-only completely not???

I know Angie-I wondered the same thing. It would seem unlike David to leave something out unintentionally. I hope there is more to the spleen=shaped rock story-I will never view an oblong rock the same way again
