“Lynchpin,” “Advertising,” “empty office.” What mind could generate such.
Loved the title. Even the best of friends have a limited time together.
Tasty, like a raspberry humorette.

Only the betrayed will call it betrayal the rest of will rationalize it as personal advanacement . This one hits the solar plexus with punch splendid story the humor being oddly placed

A insightful story of how we skip along through a lifetime of relationships, some painful, some joyful and most just superficial. Our friend Jimmy sadly let his ego lose the most important one. “Oh Boy”

I really loved this poetic work. Jimmy the character has grown and grown for us over the years. This one cut hard for those of us who watched the Mad Men of the 50s and 60s buzzsaw through their lives with such passion creative energy, narcissism and heartache. I knew so many Links who lived and loved and died with such fire and grace in those days. As a kid I literally adored their silent fire while the younger bucks like Jimmy blustered their way through inevitable self-destruction and (for some) humble resurrection. This is a perfect rendition of those lives and relationships. The language is getting crisper and crisper Mr. Jones. “Oh boy faced man” indeed.

Robert has never lost his way with words! Always great to read whatever he writes. Of course we were both in The Marine Corps in Korea years ago–so maybe I’m prejudiced! Only kidding–he was a great Marine and a great writer. I love it when old guys like us are still up and at em every day. Semper Fi, Robert!—Jack

Bob is great at giving us the journey, the vicissitudes, and the treasures we all find along the way.

This resonates powerfully for anyone betrayed in a friendship. Or, isn’t that everybody?
