A few years ago, Jack dropped the C from his name and became Jak. He called me up at breakfast one morning to tell me this. He said he was frying bacon for breakfast and that all his roommates were away. He said that he was walking around stark naked. He could have been telling the truth, I don’t know. I could hear something spitting and hissing in the background that could have been bacon, or maybe it was just static on the line.

Thank you, Bug! I'm enthralled with Kelly Link since I read the zombie story

It's really good, too.

The capitalized BACON made me hope this was a bait-and-switch, and it was really a story that started with Beggin' Strips.

It was supposed to be this weekend, but a root canal got in the way. Dammit. Not sure when I'll be down now.

I always write BACON in caps. You don't?
