Enjoy my mom's latest "Old Type Writer" column Submission to "ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS…." (With an Homage to Cinematic Hitch!) - you can read the column in its entirety at this link: http://talkofthetownwc.com/oldtypewriter/2015/01/alfred_hitchcock_presents_with.html

In tribute to post-holiday survival and inspired by a rediscovery of the classic TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, my mom details in comic fashion the shenanigans of one Squiggy Squirrel in the late 1980s and the familial turmoil that his hijinks prompted. Enjoy! (And any time you see a phrase in red font in the column, click for a videographic surprise!)

Excerpt: "Sleet causes her automobile to skid now and then. She notices a plump, ginger-colored squirrel very still as it reclines on its pudgy side, its fluffy plume of a tail slowly swishing in the swirls of wind sweeping across the roadway. She swerves to avoid the tiny appealing rodent no doubt previously scampering friskily from bare, stark tree trunk to tree trunk and tight-rope walking among multiple limbs."
