Pansy goes bye-bye

My dad's girlfriend went bye bye after perhaps 15 years of catting around Skaneateles. By day they hardly knew each other, but at night they slept soundly in each other's arms, Pansy purring all the while.

I turned her over to Doc Nichols and left dropping my tears in the driveway between his office and my parent's current abode - Old Doc and Annie Nichols' house.

On Sunday January third I drove into the village from the East just before twilight. It had snowed all day and was still dusting. Gray and white, very cold. The village was closed up tight like it used to be the day after Labor Day. A lone pedestrian was making his way through the snowy route 20 in front of Cliff Park - it was Chris Roy in a trench coat.
