And then to squat with the big boomer and feel it on my shoulder with the smell of grease and powder and, later, a little blood.

I was always aware that Jack loved women not only for their bodies but for the stories that came into being as they interacted with him--they were part of his "road," the infinite range of experience that always had to remain open to fuel his work.
