His mother is very neat

I love the slight shift involved in "Eileen." Vivian's husband is also Larry; this name has some thematic resonance.


Thanks, PHX, for the styleistic commentary. I'm with you.

My office is messy, but no one is paying for me to be a cleaner. I have so much work to do that I do not have time to clean. Once in a while, I do, but not usually. My home is also kind of a mess, except when Larry comes over. I then clean it up because I want him to think I am clean and neat. His mother is very neat and I hope I will become engaged to Larry this Christmas.

Maybe Ellen and Eileen are sisters?

Maybe we just learned the managing partner’s name, Larry!

I think the post lacks that certain je ne sais quoi when there are no misspellings or caps….
