[stylist] DBG (chapter 4)

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Is there some purpose in juggling the dates and not doing this 
chronologically?   Flashbacks are one thing.   This is something else.   Have you read 
The Time Traveler's Wife?   Great book, and it's now a movie.   In this book, 
the time is so jumbled for the time traveler, that you never know how old 
he is in the scene.   It's chronological for his wife.   Very confusing.
