Yikes! Philip and Mindy in cahoots. Not a good combination! Can't help feeling sorry for Philip, though. Poor kid's so mixed up.
The differences in Lois's attitudes, then and now, as she perceives them, were interesting.
This segment, we got more from Karen, and once again you bring her to life, with some beautiful introspection.
And I just loved the whole conversation with Clark and Lois. Everything about your writing flows so naturally - the dialogue, the introspection, the prose. It's a joy to read, Susan, and absolutely fascinating.
EDIT: LOL. Just read the other comments.
Yikes! Philip and Mindy together can't be good.
GMTA, Tricia.
