Hey Zeil, another great chapter ! Like your sneaky approach to getting the boots for Nancy, via Montana. And you captured both Doc and Dottie's characters well. Keep up the good work and POST SOON !

Hope that you had a wonderful Christmas, despite any snow storms in your area.

And I can relate on the price issues for NY, I used to live in Chicago and they are expensive there but not as bad as NY ! (I consider Chicago to be the "New York of the Midwest".

Cute start to your story. Like Clint's response to the price of ladies shoes, very true and especially in NYC ! And he thought the apartment rents were high ! Keep up the good writing and MERRY CHRISTMAS !
