My stories
Strange Days
This is a piece that didn't make it into the very unreliable Berlin memoir 'In the Mouth of the Bear'. (Available on the 'Zon, in big writing). It's just descriptive, it's not really about anything, so I left it out.

VERY lucky with Lola. Most definitely not food obsessed. She has one obsession and one alone... Her ball. Collies have as many things in common as make them different. Lola might be our last dog, but I think she might be the best of a fine bunch...
