The Second Spread vs. My Sketch

I have visions. And I can be very particular—as poor Chris came to learn. Sometimes my "vision" can benefit him and other times it can drive him up a wall.

As we got further and further into BIG-BONED, I became less specific on everything. Sometimes I would ask Chris to do this or that. And he'd say, "I can't."

My reply was often, "sure you can ... dazzle me."

His retort was always, "I hate you."
