Miles, when I was about three years old Mama made some gingerbread. Nobody could have convinced me that this world held anything better than having all the gingerbread and cold milk I wanted.

Then I discovered other things as I grew older, some of them having to do with girls, that made gingerbread pale in comparison.

Our speculation about the hereafter is sort of like me and my gingerbread, I expect.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
