- “If This Is Winnetka, You Must Be Judy” by F. M. Busby, in Universe 5, edited by Terry Carr (Random House, November 1974).
Larry Garth skips from year to year in his life (not linearly, of course), waiting to meet his once and future wife, Elaine.
He lit a cigarette and leafed through the cards and minutiae that constituted his identity in the outside world. Well. . . knowing himself, his driver’s permit would be up-to-date and all credit cards unexpired. The year was 1970. Another look outside: autumn. So he was thirty-five, and the pans clattered at the hands of Judy.
