Thank you for the encouraging comments. They say money is not a strong motivator. I think the cruise is a great incentive. We'll see. thanks again, Jim

I can't tell you how often, "Let's do the time warp again" whispers into the ear of my brain. I do think Brad got sexier as he aged.

Thank you! I have longed for someone to say that about one of my sex scenes. I was closeted when I first saw "RHPS" with straight friends and no one thought that scene was anything but funny, certainly not as impactful as I did. I promise never to use that phrase again, in this story.. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Believe me, I understand about depression. I did not think your reply was long at all. I found it quite interesting. It doesn't seem as though you have led a boring life. I used to complain, "why can't my life be like in the movies"? Then it became like a movie. Only a "B" flick. Poorly written, poorly acted and not well edited. C'est la Vie. Jim if you have more to say you can email me at sojourn1950@yahoo.com.

The parting in the parking lot was awkward for Daniel. He was trying to take his leave of Raymond without appearing to be more than casual friends. It was Mellie who seemed to recognize his dilemma. She called out, “Oh, Daniel, you know you're part of this family just as well as Jeffrey and Raymond”. The use of ‘Jeffrey’ got the whole family's attention. If Aunt Mellie addressed him as ‘Jeffrey’ everyone knew Aunt Mellie was not happy. “Come on over here so we can hug you like real family should

I graduated from college at 32. I actually received my BA before my Associates degree. There is still time. I managed to correct the hospital but didn't find MacGyver. Thanks for hanging in there and posting your comments. Jim

Thank you for hanging in there. Most people seem to like it, overall. They say it is quite emotional. Jim

Actually, Jeff topped Paul in their first time together. Believe me, I understand brain farts. At my age, my brain is constantly emitting flatulence.😜 Jim

Well, I think the boys are versatile. They both bottom and they don't keep score as to whose turn it is to bottom. I try to balance it out, but they just don't care. I am sure Paul enjoys bottoming more than Jeff, though I think he is hesitant to admit it. Right now, they are role playing in a totally trusting environment. Jeff is no more a bottom than he is a submissive. He is confident that Paul will not hurt him and that he can have his turn with Paul kneeling, awaiting Jeff's pleasure. They are exploring their boundaries, just as they are learning the boundaries that come with totally committing your Heart to someone. Thanks for giving this situation some serious thought and expressing your concerns. I hope you continue to read and to let me know what you think. Jim

WOW! What a wonderful and flattering synopsis. Now, to replace Rosarita... if only I could convince Sam or Dave to take up housework. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

I don't know yet if she'll slink off into the darkness our mount some kind of plot for revenge. I assure you, as soon as I know, I'll fill you in. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

I am glad to hear that, especially from someone who has been posting comments from the beginning. Thanks for another encouraging comment. Jim

I think this one reposted itself hours apart.

Paul will not be fully accepting until he wields the sword of power and wealth that comes with being a member of the Adams Family. Snap, snap... Snap, snap. 😉 Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Yes, I feel confident in saying you have expressed your love for Maria a time or two or three or... I have considered letting their play time appear as a fait acompli, just acknowledging that it happened without experiencing it along with them. What do you think? Thanks for posting your comments. Maria and I both appreciate your efforts. Keep them coming. Jim

Thanks for your insights. I remember mourning a friend's passing. After the funeral, it seemed anything the least bit humorous set us all to laughing. I think laughter helps us regain our humanity. I think Raymond's revelation of having suffered, as a child, in his mother's care made the whole bit more funny than it really was. Thanks again, Jim

Yeah, er, um, uh, yeah, yes, of course, just like Mowgli. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Thank you for your comments. I assure you, no one puts Fugly in the corner. Thanks again, Jim

Thanks. I think that Jeff and Paul are learning who they are within their relationship. Neither have a wealth of sexual experience. I doubt that their play time will lead them to anything extreme. They are very excited about the new trust and intimacy they have found and are letting their imaginations explore possibilities they wouldn't consider with another partner. They see themselves in a committed, monogamous relationship. And so do I. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

I have considered just passing on the play as a memorable fait acompli with just a few lines. What do you think?😜 Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

I think you and I can agree, men at any age can become juveniles at the drop of a hat. I half way expected someone to react negatively to the whole Fugly dilemma. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Thanks. I kinda worried this was a lackluster chapter. Jim

Once outside the diner, Raymond received another round of hugs from his family. As he embraced Jeff, he whispered in his ear, “Little brother, I got you all set up with Sanders’s and Sons in Dallas. They’re expecting y’all this afternoon”. As they released each other Jeff held on for a moment and in a voice loud enough for the family to hear, queried, “Really? Raymond, I expected something more profound, something more emotional or maybe some sage words of advice from my newly minted big b
