I'm the managing editor of WD magazine and an occasional freelance writer, I have a slight obsession with books, cheesy trinkets and old Vincent Price movies, and I've never eaten an olive.

My son and I once attended a party at Vonnegut's old house in Iowa, when I was at the workshop. My son was very young. I am not at all a believer in the tobacco, and would not at all encourage my son to smoke, but someone's dog had had pupppies, and at the party, was passing out cigars. My son and I took one, hid in a bush at Vonnegut's yard, with waiters walking around in bowties, and each took a puff, just because it seemed fitting to be doing that there at that moment, and we still smile about our little secret, never revealed until now. Thanks for your vonnegut story. I can picture it.
