@achewood Terrible dream where Bobby Flay came to my childhood home, danced on the table, recited verse, and we had nothing interesting for him to do.

Anybody else read this yet?

I get a distinct feeling that Onstad's childhood was very much like Ray's.  Also, I like the subtle way that Ray's Mom is being developed as a shadow character.

I was nearly inspired to start cutting up paper towel tubes, until I remembered I was a grownup.  But I don't know a kind of rubber ball that turns to dust when you step on it.  Maybe  it's something they hadn't invented yet in my day?

Sachertorte and fries, though.  Yuck.

I used to have a block & marble set just for this purpose. It was glorious.

I think he's talking about super high bounce balls. You'd usually get them like 3 for a quarter out of drug store vending machines. Although I only rarely encountered the cheap dusty-break-apart ones. They were always translucent.

I loved the calico mention. Just to remind us they're cats.
