Andalucia - good story, Mark. I may have found a typo..."What a fool, he thought, trying to track down a woman I don’t even know. She is not her". Is "her" supposed to be "here"?

No. He was referring to his deceased wife. But the reader doesn't know that yet. And I didn't want to spoil the revelation that his wife had died. I probably should have used a name instead of "her."

It does look like it should be "here", though. 🙂

Congrats on a fine story. And you resisted any reference to the strangest movie ever, Un Chien Andalou.

Thanks, John. I wasn't hard to not reference the movie since I've never seen it. 🤓

Aw! “Andalucia” (which my autocorrect tried to make “Andalusia”) was just the thing for a Monday morning. Thanks, Mark!
