I’m going to write an essay about this man, John Updike.  Five seconds after this picture was taken, I totally surprise kissed him.  He turned bright red, and I asked if he’d like to join me for a whiskey.  He caught the eye of an older woman off to the side and said he didn’t drink.  Five months later he was dead.
