      THREE SOLSTICE GIFTS

      The office of Cooper Annenveinen, Architect, occupied a room in a small-business cooperative on the North Side of Pittsburgh. The place used to be a warehouse, and was supervised by the Corps of Retired Executives Of America, a non-profit organization of knowledgeable geezers who were too old to work an eighty-hour week, and too virile to play Sudoku all day long.
