This is a brilliantly written story. Love how you've put us right inside the protagonist's head. We experience his world with him, all the emotions and then the quick processing of them. We're listening to his internal dialogue as it happens, which is fascinating. This wouldn't work with a less talented writer. You really keep us in his head, no sour notes to take the reader out of the experience. I want everything to go well for Caleb. I'm rooting for him big time. High school in the south with a largely fundamental Christian population...I suspect some surprises, good and bad, lay ahead for him. Great job and I'm glad you're updating the story so regularly.

Health and career I'll return to Comicfan's question...what book or movie do you think everyone should own and why?

Hello Bob, I’ve been one of the readers enjoying your memoirs. 61 years with your wife is something to be celebrated! You’re a skilled writer, and your life experiences have been very interesting to follow. You ask whether you should write about your "hot" bi encounters? Not if you're reluctant. Those memories are yours! There are themes, however, that never fail to interest me as a reader of both fiction and non-fiction. I am always curious about a person’s process of self-discovery, self-acceptance or rejection of self. Can self-acceptance be traced back to early experiences, upbringing, a significant relationship, or was acceptance a gradual process over the years? You had some connection to the film industry in Europe as well as membership in the more conservative societies for engineers and architects. Was there more acknowledgment of bisexuality or homosexuality, even if it was unspoken or underground, by those with whom you associated in the arts as opposed to your contemporaries in the industrial occupations? Your business ventures took you to several countries over the years. Your most recent chapter mentioned both Algeria and France (Paris) and the relative ease or difficulty of pursuing sexual relations in those countries. The observations on how sexuality (straight or gay) is experienced in different countries is very interesting. As I read your memoirs, I am reminded that your generation experienced a huge change in society’s sexual mores, again both straight and gay. Please don't feel obligated to answer any of these questions. Whatever you choose to write about, you definitely found a loyal reader in me! I enjoy historical accounts, particularly biographies and memoirs. Thanks for sharing yours. -Percy

This just made me love peeps even more. Fascinating what humans can do to make food or "food."

Very enjoyable, well-written story. Tension, drama perfectly delivered. Thanks for giving it a happy ending.

lamb tangine It has about a dozen spices and a bunch of other ingredients. I like the whole process of getting the right cut of meat from the butcher, shopping for the right olives and raisins...all the prep stuff. The whole project of shopping, prepping and cooking is relaxing and it makes the house smell great. I like talking food so I'm keeping the question.

Morning. The battery winds down as the day goes on. Same question.

Very absorbing. I'm already rooting for Caleb. I like how you've introduced us to several characters and we have a good sense of Caleb's world and how he views it. I hope you post regularly.

Good start. I am definitely drawn in. Hope you keep going.

I would say that dream I posted in my blog a few weeks ago about the helicopters that were Tilt-a-Whirls counts right up there. Changing it up a little...what's the scariest dream you remember?

Sure. Count me in.

I always liked James and Rebecca, but I've been working with a lot of people from India lately and am loving their names. Very lyrical sounding to my American ears. No offspring in my future though. Let's keep going with this question.
