Maybe it's because I'll be in Florida for a week soon, and I associate that state with old folks (mostly), that I couldn't help but dream, lust even, after a Patricia Highsmith mystery club with me and a handful of old ladies with peach and purple hairs and nice slacks and wide brimmed hats.... dreams. At least mine don't involve murder and European identity swaps. Or do they?!]]>
