“Pete sat across the table, flopped his hat in the chair beside, and took a long drink of beer. Ray sipped at his and adjusted the ball cap on his head. Cold beer was one of the things he’d dreamed about these past two years, that and firm breasts, smooth buttocks, thick steaks and clam chowder, Scotch on the rocks. The beer in his hand was all right, but just all right. Like everything else when you got older, the getting never seemed to measure up to the anticipating.”

Brad Smith, “All Hat”, 2003, Penguin Canada.
