As Time Goes By - by Michael Walsh
The Lisbon plane soared away from the dense, swirling fog of Casablanca, up and into the night. Below, the airport was plunged deep into the North Aftircan darkness, its only illumination the revolving beacon that perched atop the conning tower. The sirens of the French colonial police cars had faded into the night. Everything was quiet but the wind. Almost lost in the mist, two men were walking together, away from the airport, away from the city, and into an uncertain future. "... of a beautiful friendship," said Richard Blaine, tugging on a cigarette as he walked. His hat was pulled down low on his forehead, and his trench coat was cinched tightly against the damp. And so goes the opening paragraph of ''As Time Goes By", by Michael Walsh. It starts where 'Casablanca' left off, and everyone is there.... Rick, Louie, Ilsa and Victor, Sam...heck, even Sacha and Carl make a showing. It's great escapist fare, and I highly recomend it to any other fans of the greatest film to ever light up the screen.
I'm enjoying the ride.
