Carl Krepsbach didn't smoke last week. He smoked his first cigarette at Christine Scholsted's graduation party. Everybody else was going to college. Carl went to San Diego and joined the navy. He returned after three years for his father's funeral. His father froze to death drunk in a ditch. Carl completed his navy hitch and came back to LW to marry Mavis. He started in his father's line of work, handyman and carpenter. At first, he consulted a Popular Mechanic's how-to-do-it book. He lived down his father's reputation. Krepsbach was a synonym for drunk and shiftless. He thinks of how it might have been different. He can imagine being famous and on the 'Tonight' show. Spring reminds him of how things might have been. Winter is an easy time to work. He would like to have appetizers. Once when Carl's rich cousin visited them, they had appetizers all over the coffee table. Carl was eating a smoked oyster when he remembered that he hadn't said grace. Maybe appetizers are exempt, like tax-sheltered income.
