That was a VERY enjoyable read. I especially liked this passage... "He sputtered more than simply talked. I pictured total congestion, a Times Square traffic jam of sentences and thoughts, ideas, observations, phrases and exclamations, f-bombs and platitudes, located somewhere between his mind and his mouth. All of them honked and jostled, fought with each other to get free, into the fresh air. They celebrated when they did."

I read some of your posts and think, "WHY?" and wonder how anyone could ever click Like. Then I see something like this, and something else that I think was just before a Dogmania post earlier today. I'm find myself so aggravated by the posts that seem to have little other purpose than to aggravate that I won't click Like here, but I will spend the extra effort to say, "Thank you" for this one.

I guess my pettiness and my integrity played to a tie.

Knew Montville as a student, great guy, from New Haven.

That's Obituary leadoff paragraph or tombstone material right there.
