...RIP Way2, who will die of embarrassment from posting this...

Please forgive my lame attempt to sound like Annie Proulx's version of a Wyoming ranch-country narrator. Rest assured I do not consider myself to have succeeded. Nevertheless, I'm so obsessed with these characters, I wanted to share this with other BBM fans, as part of our massive, ongoing speculation about each of these characters' lives,

Thank you very much!

That's most definitely one of the best BBM pieces I have read. The characterization was impeccable, and you are an incredible writer. I loved it.

Wow! *BLUSH*

I'm overwhelmed. Thank you, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Hi!
I think this is WONDERFUl!
EXCELLENT use of voice, very engaging writing style,
fascinating and authentic detail, ie:
"...He didn't have to scope the whole damn bar for the one fella might meet his eye. Didn't have to offer a drink, pay for it with money he didn't have. Didn't have to come up with just the right line..." <--loved the specificity here!!
Excellent job of grounding us IMMEDIATELY into Jack's internal narration,
great and believeable job in imagining Jack's interplay with Lureen,
great characterization of Lureen, too, BTW.
Subtle, heartbreaking insights into Jack's yearning for Ennis...
palpably real.....excellent writing! Please write another.
