A commoner from The Shire.

I usually score a hundred.

Yes.

Yes, it was.

The emails are an awesome tool for readers.

Hey, all!

Oh, I was thinking of the movie, "Love, Simon". I haven't watched "Love, Victor" yet.

Lol. I like a man who thinks.

Oh, man, you're preaching to the choir, buddy. I heard the same stuff when I first entered the community. It was truly confusing. I got a lot of attention, but most of them thought I was just playing at being gay... especially since I had four kids. I agree it is exhausting, but I did develop some great friendships... many of them drag queens actually. They didn't mind I didn't fit the mold. I never expected to find exclusion in a group that had been persecuted for so long--should have known better because people are people first no matter who they are--but I did learn there was a lot of bitterness and distrust, and once you won them over, they were some of the best people I've ever known. Maybe that's why I identify so much with Jubal too. Lol... yeah, Abercrombie does not make good workwear... I'm a Carhartt guy myself. I did write a story callled Exes and Ohs which dealt with some of the stuff I faced back when... that attitude that I had to be bi, that I couldn't be gay. I think you might be able to relate to it. Your comment about individuality is interesting... check out my signature quote... it says basically the same thing. I'm a beer guy at heart... Miller Lite... but an I.P.A sounds good... though they pack more wallop than I am used to. Lately I'm more of a tumbler of red wine kind of guy, but I would gladly share a beer with you. Of course, I would want to see your horses first. Cheers!

Still recuperating from the worst cold in human history.

Hey, all.

I liked it too, and I love your new avatar pic.

Well... maybe I'll write it in a different place... some new town to the north... Sheriff walks into a bar in the town of Burpee Falls and...

Barn Hands? Love it!! Lol... yeah, I suspect you're right that a couple of them could be handsy, and a few others can be a handful.

Who knows what I might do. A sheriff walks into a bar and....

Yeah, that would be a big shadow, Doc.

Dogs make every story better! So does Kung Foo! This chapter had all the elements... it was sweet and exciting and warm and thoroughly enjoyable. I thought Janice as going to be a problem, but she turned out to be a sweet heart. So... Brad... wonder where that's going? You have created a wonderful family here, buddy. I look forward to more. Thanks! G.

Lol. Willie B. DeMille. Always in Cecil's shadow.

I did know how to own the camera, didn't I?

Lol. You're no DeMille, my friend.

Yeah... @Albert1434 is good, but he's no Cecil.

Forgetting is not good. Garbage and recycling are not my favorite task. I sometimes need a laydown afterwards.

Lol. I thought you might enjoy that. Hockey has its own language, and some of it is blue. And yes, it is poetry in motion. Oh yeah, I love engaging with readers. it makes all the lonely days of kneading words into something palatable worthwhile. Cheers, my dear friend.

I have both. Just kidding. Love can be shown in so many ways, and it doesn't mater which one as long as it is felt. Do we think Lucas can feel Jubal's love? Sturdy, capable hands... oh yeah. You're preaching to the choir, sister.

Did you know I am a licensed farrier? Just saying.... You get Jubal exactly... and I will add that he doesn't dare say he loves someone... another man. I think, because of how he thinks about Vincent always being straight with his words, he is capable of saying how he feels... if he thought it was safe. Sad, isn't it? So yeah, he is doing it in the only way he can. He builds and creates and frets over how it will make Lucas feel. It can truly be hard for us, even now, because there is danger around many corners. We are still seen by many as wrong, so of course it affects how open and forthcoming we can be, and that spills over into the rest of our lives. You sound very talented, my friend, and I appreciate you showing that and some of yourself to us. What you say about time and what Jubal is doing is beautiful... for nothing more than a smile... yep, that is Jubal, and that is unconditional love. Thank you for this, buddy. I think we would be great friends if we were neighbors.
