Or perhaps I am overly thinking it. I think back to a favorite jar story and it involves someone else catching fireflies in Michigan but I sadly know this story is long gone because my friend had her MySpace account obliterated for reasons I will not go into, and besides, I am sad in grief and my dog is hungry and doesn't know where I am.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-18142242857579747572013-07-02T19:32:26.568-07:002013-07-02T19:32:26.568-07:00Funny stuff here, Pearl.

She didn't answer. He rushed back to her house thinking the worst.
