Sick day is good for reading! Out to visit Waabizh and son Joe Paulson. Learn Mitch's native name -- Mishkigaboo -- Strong Standing. Ah irony.

Joe's death and the fallout with Maureen and Layla. Gloria makes a stron showing. At first thought she was playing M & M but actually caring, maybe? Reed is going to be something bad by the end of the novel. Too many shivers! One note too loud, played to exhaustion!

When does an repeating image or idea become just too much? The shiver doesn't have a lot of varations which makes it tedious to me. But what do I know? I found 'so it goes' annoying as well. The question of whether fuck up Mitch Caddo can be a 'good guy' or 'one of the good ones' is interesting though. 'one of the good ones' out of the mouth of a white character like Joe Beck sounds bad though...

Mitch and Layla Beck, his unwillingness to commit and believe that he is worth loving.
