The thought of returning home felt unwise. Although he spent all day dreaming up sales copy that could convince bozos into buying almost anything, Dempsey couldn't imagine a plausible explanation, a believable story as to why he had been gone all night.

You've never seen Max Dempsey's beard
Compared to other men
downtown

five o clock shadow
, Dempsey's chin and jawline flaunts fresh.

What I like about physical books

info sector
, I spend much of my
time
on a computer. Even if I were to be hyper disciplined and used

Only thing is that it is hardly ever open. Still the cafe is my favorite haunt. I'll go there for a cup of coffee and sit around sipping it in the thick, white...
