It’s nice to see that Tracy is not the only one who gets harassed by Wendy Witchel, but Xaviera doesn’t seem to be the patient type. If Wendy only knew how dangerous it is to get on Xaviera’s bad side.
Now we understand the sour look. Personally, I think the story would have been improved if they’d kept X. looking more like she did back in the Choate days, and friendly demeanor. Her severe look and manner have screamed “suspect” from the get-go.
No interview, no exclusive, no story. Wendy Wichel…the proverbial bad penny. Turning up when least expected. It would behoove her to get ghost with the quickness. Miss Libris gets ticked off in a New York minute.
“Well, art is art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh… now you tell me what you know.”
I was just looking for my 1990’s camcorder the other day to video the paint drying and lo and behold, I see it’s missing. Looks just like the one that guy is holding in Panel 2.
1-WINDY: The camera’s over here, darling. X: CAMERA…?
2-…Why didn’t you say so??? WINDY: Are you drunk enough to confess to the Letter Opener Murders?
3-X: No. I don’t even own a letter opener! WINDY: Well, then, how much are you donating to the Library Drive?
X: Now THAT’S much more appropriate. I’m not donating money per se but rather some valuable manuscripts that have gotten too hot…I mean too splendid not to share with the rest of the world! Anonymously of course. No one will be able to trace them back to me. I would just hate the adoration and prison sentence that would accompany anyone knowing. WINDY: Say again?
My life is in upheaval right now. I am in a being forced to move situation and don’t have where we are going to yet.
Landlord, her lawyer and my emails have not been answered by the county as I am sure it is their desire to see this place razed. This property has a checkered past and Boulder County, Colorado is not willing to work with us, as to me and Whisperflicker staying here and doing improvements to bring it to current code. Neighbor Gary, retired contractor, who reupped his license recently, feels that the cost to do the proper amendments would be way much. We have a pre-approved loan limit to buy something; a place we looked at this weekend was a bust. Realtor rep, Jonathan, immediately found too many defects that would run much to fix. That place was a flip, in strictly a cosmetic sense.
I have been in the area for 43 years and at this location for 21. I like it here but it looks like I will be moving out of the area in order to “stay standing”. Carol’s son and DIL are coming this morning, for the holiday, so we will be busy. I will be on as time permits.
OT: If I suddenly vanish, it’s because the laptop died and I can’t afford to replace it. I spent the entire day getting it to even boot up so I could START backing files onto an external drive. 20,000 photos in one folder along, and of course the two books I’m trying to finish now. at least I managed to salvage a lot.Pretty mentally devastaing Monday. Monday. It figures.
Wendy Wichel, with her trusty tuxedoed cameraman who kinda looks like Harold Sakata, “Oddjob” in Goldfinger, takes on Xaviera Libris, the Ice Queen, and gets the deep freeze, a.k.a. “no means no” for her trouble.
Interestingly, I had suggested the interloper might turn out to be Wendy Wichel in a Reply to Pequod’s opening post yesterday.
One wonders what tidbit of tawdry gossip Wendy is trying to tease out of Xaviera. Does Wendy have some dirt on missing manuscripts, pilfered rare books, or even stabby homicides?
If Wichel does have something, this could become a crucial turning point! Got that on video, Oddjob?

Despite some low opinions of her, Wendy Wichel is an honest reporter and when she gets an idea in her head she hangs on like a pit bull.
I’d like to think she’s here for more than show.
