 Your writing sure didn't seem rusty to me. That was hysterical. So is Clark going to smoke a cigarette occasionally, or at least stand near a smoker, so that he has the characteristic nicotine stench? I can't imagine Lois would be happy about that. (I know; I'm overthinking things.) Joy, Lynn

Taking those random items and turning them into Clark's excuses was a fantastic idea  . Loved it!

I'm glad you liked this little bit of silliness. It's good to be writing again.I miss it, but RL is just too busy. Thank you all so much for your kind words.

Haha, that was just too funny! And your writing isn't rusty. :-) Good Job! Yes, Clark Needs better excuses. @Lynn: If Lois isn't happy about the Smoking Thing, perhaps Clark should travel to a certain parallel universe where Lois goes by the Alias Margot Kidder...:-)
Up, up and away - to the next fanfic.

[P]erhaps Clark should travel to a certain parallel universe where Lois goes by the Alias Margot Kidder. At least Clark won't have to worry about smoke damaging his lungs. Joy, Lynn

How true. I, too, don't think that Clark would become a smoker or that Lois would like it for that matter. But smokers are known for running off, frequently. A friend of mine used to be angry at her colleagues for frequently taking a break from their work to go smoking. She, a non-smoker, was not allowed to take a break. So, one day, she told her boss that she was going to smoke an apple.

That was hilarious! And so very Clark! Nicely done - great idea to use the random items as excuses for Clark. Looking forward to more stories from you.

Welcome back!
I was laughing so hard, even the cat looked at me and was wondering what was happening! Thanks so much for a fun little snippet of a story.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.
