Slim Hartman took his missss
duck hunting the other day. And
after five hours sitting in a
swamjp, she’d had enough! Going
home. Slim reminded her good-
naturedly of the time she’d taken
him to a woman novelist’s lecture,
and insisted that he sit it out.

Slim and the missus get on so well
—content to stay home nighss to-
gether, enjoying one another’s
company over a glass of beer and a
game of chess.
From where I sit, we can’t all
enjoy the same things—but we can
share those little pleasures that
we do enjoy —a glass of beer, a
game of chess, some music on the
radio — and live-and-let-live when
it comes to the others.
