Running on coffee, nicotine, and news
Glen Castlebury has clear-blue eyes, a meticulously tended garden, and, usually, a cigarette in his hand.
Glen doesn’t tell stories chronologically. He waves a hand in the morning light and the hanging smoke. “Here’s another vignette for you,” he says and acts out voices like a radio play. Glen knows about his father’s antics because he was there with him at beer joints. He says women liked him because he was a kid and he liked them because they smelled good and they looked nice and they’d buy him a coke with peanuts and give him a nickel for the jukebox. Little Glen would pick Hank Thompson or Jimmy Wakely.

Pickle. “My editor Dave Shanks was looking for every excuse in the world to send me places. I was his pet, let’s face it.” In Pickle’s office, Glen was sitting at the desk of a woman named Molly, who Glen was fascinated by.
