Hey Jimmy never claimed to be GOOD at love. I was never able to just make it work right. The string of rather messy relationships is part of the pattern, and were this a love story... I'd have ended this with Hugo. But it's a story about what Trauma does to a person. And those moments, however short, that give us connection. Maybe these loves were short, broken, or jagged, but I am trying to be as honest as I can with them.

So I was going to write about Marc, but Ben’s hijacked the story and is holding it ransom til I talk about him. Probably a good thing, Marc… was a mistake. It led to two years in Toronto, Richard… and that was not a good time. Relapses are hard, and brutal. There are two stories I will tell you, eventually, about Toronto, but they will come when we next talk to Wil. This isn’t a Wil chapter, so forgive the time jump. Jimmy had gotten out of Toronto alive. Let that sink in a moment. Ali

I like Kate's lesson, about finding and picking apart the people around Dottie. Their lives, their fears and their doubts

Washington D.C. -1953 - November 27th The air was sterile and tasted of nothing, a stark contrast to the rich, earthy aromas of a proper forest or the intoxicating chaos of Kulai. Stoker paced the length of the apartment, a square, sterile box with a single window that offered a view of a brick wall. His boots, a new pair that Dottie’s people had provided, made no sound on the plush, institutional carpet. It was a place designed to contain, to isolate, and

I think exploring him as a more realized character might be good, besides I am interested in Blake as well. Very small Idea that Matt might make a decision about what's really important. As was said many times in the text, if you're willing to change who you are and what you believe for someone... that counts for something.

No ways in 'ell. sorr! I am gettin' me turn, thankee kindly.

I really need to do a follow up Matty book.

I accept no responsibility for Groundhog sex... um.. that just sounds so wrong... I need a cup of tea and to go outside and touch grass LOL

I like that I can't put anything past you Doc. You remain, as ever, astute.
-
Besides, Hugo already KNOWS he's the most exciting Bottom Alec has ever met! Stoker however, probably agrees, but won't ever tell Hugo that... I mean Hugo's ego is large enough

This isn't the PORN parody of Ground-HOG day... oh dear gods, Rule 34... I don't want to google that.

Very well, I will write about Ben tomorrow. Ben gets revenge.

God's we're coming up on the underpants in the bar story. Man when that dam finally burst between Ben and I, wow... which reminds me I need to email him, long over due to remind him about it. He's still very much in the picture, but unlike Wil, he was far more direct... as you will come to see.

So, some of you know a little about Ben. lil’Benji. I think I need to introduce you to another constant throughout Jimmy’s time in Canada because it was about this time in Jimmy’s story that Ben appeared. Ben was quiet, but it wasn't the kind of quiet that made you feel like you had to talk. It was a comfortable quiet, a space you could just be in. Then, just when you thought he was a model of poise and grace, he'd flash that broad, cheeky smile, and you'd remember he was also a total

I am delaying release of today's chapter pending a re-write. Should have it out a bit later as I have to pop into Leamington Spa today to visit the pharmacy. Apologies for the delay

Mine is exactly the same as Stoker's will be.

So I had a meeting with some old University collegues, one a Philosophy Prof. One an Ethics Prof. And a few others in a Whatsapp... Where I posed the question: Is it cheating if you go back in time to a point before your partner has met you, and slept with them. OH MAN the debate raged... back and forth. Wil, my Wil, joined in through a separate conversation on Facebook. At the end of the day the jury was out on a definitive yes/no, but the consensus was "Hugo should ask Stoker."

As I said yesterday I just ‘ad t’ave ye… Stoker has always known what he wanted. And that, I think, was what Madam Woo wanted to remind Hugo of

Gotta give us points for not breaking character

Middlesex – 1836 - November 26th The air of November 26th, 1836, was a physical weight, a damp, biting chill that seeped into the very marrow of Wojciech’s bones. It was a world of muted colors and somber sounds, a stark contrast to the kaleidoscopic chaos of Kulai City and the silent, sterile future of Henry’s home. Here, there was only the low rustle of fallen leaves under his heavy, borrowed boots, the distant caw of a crow, and the steady, rhythmic dru
