He made it all up. I deny everything. I wasn't even there. In fact, I was in
Fort Worth in a big parade with bands and the VFW and everything. They put me
in a Lincoln convertible with a sign on the side that said,
"Janey98--Author." You can read all about it in the Star-Telegram. I don't
know why they asked me, but it was a lot of fun.
Anyhow, I wasn't even in Boston when this Miles says I was. Bob wasn't there,
either. He was in Schenectady at a pen show. Beth says I ought to sue. So
there.

                My, what a fine kettle of fish.  I do the dad thing, flying
my kids to Norfolk to see the Blue Angels, and when we get back, I find
Janey in denial, and Bob, who must have been party to an act so vile that
even the death penalty was not sufficient, banished to Schenectady.

         And an email from Sandman as champion of Janey's virtue making a
thinly veiled threat -- which I naturally dealt with through a witty,
testosterone laced riposte.

          Well, here is the unvarnished truth:   It wasn't even the VFW.  It
was the American Legion, of which I am a card carrying member.  Through our
extensive right wing conspiratorial communications network, I was able to
determine that the woman in the Lincoln could not have been Janey.  I didn't
let the report of the Dolly Parton wig throw me  -- after all, I vaguely
remember that Texas passed a statute requiring all women who may be
photographed for publication to have big hair  (or was that only a Dallas
city ordinance) -- but the description by an old Navy buddy, "Round in the
counter and bluff in the bow" was the key.  I'll bet Beth will be unable to
account for her whereabouts during this parade.

            Moreover, I suggest that Janey not feel so smug about her
attempts at alibi.  When I post the transcription of the tape sent to me by
an anonymous source whose first name starts with an L and last name starts
with a T and rhymes with strip of Janey's tryst with Bill Clinton (you knew
it had to happen -- why would he leave her out), her jokes at Judge Starr's
expense in Janey's March will come back to haunt her.

              I thought I had the perfect way get Janey to put up or shut
up, but then I remembered that Bob was a medieval scholar and would be
familiar with the word merkin, making the picture inconclusive.

             I guess you'll just have to trust me.  It's all true.

Sandman threatens:
 
 

But then it's obvious he at least read one of my stories, I think that
makes six readers -- do I really want to make that five again?  Hmm
decisions, decisions.  Heads or tales, tales or heads.

Dang. Heads.  Ah well.  Great story Miles.  You're just lucky I
happned to be in Fort Worth with Janey at the time but that's another
story :-)

           It may be lucky for you your coin toss came out heads.  I
*was* in the hundred acre woods, although we called it something less
flattering.  My character was the SEAL.  You may not remember this
character, as I mainly operated at night and I never let Mr. Milne see
me. After keeping Pooh and the rest safe from heffalumps and jagulars, I
don't think a Sandman would give me much trouble. ;-)

           Actually, all that I could find.  I am a fan.  I loved your
Janey episode.  As you can tell by mine, I am not the tall handsome
type, so I couldn't do the straight seduction as you so masterfully did.

           To judge by her work, this may be literally true.  I envy
you.  She's a special writer.
