Well, my eldest, the inscrutable Emily...when she was about 9 I brought home a couple of CD's, two Toms:

• Waits "Rain Dogs" for me
• Paxton, one of his kids albums, for her.

Guess which one she took to playing all day long? Guess which Tom her high school locker contained a shrine to this year?
(hint: not Paxton)

She's muttering about taking up the guitar again. I leave the little O-18 sitting around (properly protected, of course) as bait.

W-O
