I have always felt that history, and especially cultural history, is best when it takes the broad view.

I was determined to put some of that variety into my writing.

Dusty is a little longer off the tee. He's a little bigger than last year. Drew came out and fired lights out at The Den, but after that he wasn't Drew. He wasn't sharp. I think he was a little tired. He had every reason to be. He played a whole lot of golf at the end of the summer.
