The visitors to my house as I stated were not friends. I had never met them before. He says I had not looked at some of the contents of the cardboard box in years. That's more of his bullshit and not as good as the truth. I hadn't looked at any of it in six years.

Had the difference been that is was or wasn't March 24 that would have been a problem. But that's what this beat is about and it works.

He just "Houdinied" it! :)<br /><br />John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-73333147028751272892019-10-25T22:27:27.096-07:002019-10-25T22:27:27.096-07:00Patrick: Let's compare one of my stories -- as...Patrick: Let's compare one of my stories -- as it happened -- with the way Joe, the boy writer tells it in "the Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini." <br /><br />Joe Posnanski: On March 24, 1974--and Patrick will never forget the day--he went into his old boxes and pulled out all of his old Houdini stuff. A couple of friends were coming over, and he wanted to share with them his Patrick Cullitonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914675318079872930noreply@blogger.com
