What a great line.... literary, even. Like something George Orwell might have written while channeling Raymond Chandler.
Thanks. I’ve written creatively for a long time, and expect to do a great deal more of it now that Barry and the Obamanauts are about to hit the stage. BTW, I borrowed the “rough stranger” phrase from William Butler Yeats, one of Ireland’s greatest poets and an inspiration to me in my formative years.
