Read the excerpt from "Raymond's Run."
Maybe she'd like to help me coach Raymond; she
obviously is serious about running, as any fool can see.
And she nods to congratulate me and then she smiles.
And I smile. We stand there with this big smile of respect
between us. It's about as real a smile as girls can do for
each other, considering we don't practice real smiling
every day, you know, cause maybe we too busy being
flowers or fairies or strawberries instead of something
honest and worthy of respect... you know ... like being
people.
