I would look forward to once-monthly trips to the old “Popular” bookstore in Havelock then. Once-monthly, because that was how often my dad got paid. I remember that the moment I stepped into <a href="http://seraphinafyc.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/magical-bench/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seraphinafyc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6366808&amp;post=740&amp;subd=seraphinafyc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
