that's one of the few O'keefe paintings I adore.

As a New Jersey guy, I would much rather that (if there is gonna be any mob hits and dumpings) that the choice would be the East River, and not New Jersey. We are tired of being dumped in. Or on, rather. If Canada Geese can take down a plane, then why can't a mob-hit corpse take out a boat? This is, after all, a literary format.

Well, I *was* going to save my undercover stint with the Genovese crime family for the spring, but I'll see what I can do now...

That was way to predictable, Jen. Come on, put your back into it! Corpses, corpses, blah, blah, blah. At least show us a photo of one floating there or something.

Ha - the way the mob has gotten sloppy lately with discarding bodies, I'm suprised not more corpses of former capos and stoolies aren't disrupting water traffic.

I find it hard to believe that a dead body would cause a boat to sink, even a small one. Although it does make the story more interesting ;-)
