He completely forgave himself for selling Gary the Sextasy book. Because after all, he knew that what Gary had to learn about sex wasn’t taught in a book. It was taught by Ichor and his mushroom soup (ample dash of cayenne) and Bev’s face when Ichor kissed her hand.

Bev when she toppled him into the wading pool. Ichor when he pulled her in.
