  1. Changed my three mower blades. Laying on concrete, holding one end of the blade with one hand and trying to loosen each one with a socket wrench in the other... well... it makes me feel old. Not as strong as I used to be, but, I got it done.
  2. I really wanted that contrast, Kris. In every way, August is reminded of who his father is, and what other families can be like. Of course, not all families are like the Crawleys... Willy James seems to have gotten a less than ideal one who does not accept him. Albert is a brutal man. he sees compassion as a weakness, and saw worth in Fletcher only because he stood up against Roland. His outlook is skewed, and yes, despite his influence, August is not one iota like him, and never will be. Um... I don't know what you mean. No cliffs? No bandits? I assure you the journey will be uneventful and boring. You can trust me. He he. Thanks, buddy.
  3. Thank you, Albert. I liked the wagon cover scene a lot. It was a chance for me to slow everything down and solidify for August that he is part of a new family. August knows how to play his father now. He knows he will never be like him, but I wonder if that begrudging respect Albert showed him, even comparing himself to August in how he was always someone who tried, had any impact on August. And could August be wrong... did Albert remember his birthday, but sees making a fuss as a weakness? It could well be he thinks only the toughest kind of love is acceptable. I've seen that in my own experience. Just food for thought. And yes, they have taken that firm step forward into the future, and they are happy. Cheers, my friend.
  4. Great point, Cane. I'm sure the Crawleys will pay attention to what the Cooleys are doing more than they ever have. I enjoyed showing the sharp contrast between the families, though it is kind of sad for August to see just how uncaring his father is compared to Roland. I think he was a little confused about that double eagle from Albert, though. Maybe Albert loves him in his own way. Cheers, my friend.
  5. Yes, they are. They've weathered that storm of finding themselves and each other, beat the odds stacked against them, and are heading towards their future. It was a rewarding chapter to write as we see the stark differences between the Cooleys and the Crawleys. Thanks, my friend.
  6. Godspeed Dawn was hours away—near three of them—when August crept quiet as he could down the stairs, careful of the squeaks on a couple of the steps. He had no wish to talk to anyone afore leaving this house for good, and he surely wanted no more wailing from Yolanda what got him feeling bad, but it wasn’t to be when he heard his father’s voice coming from the lantern glow of his office. “Not planning on saying goodbye?” August stepped over to the doorway, trying his
  7. Sigh. I thought we were on here to have fun. Fine. You win... there has never been nor ever will be flirting between you.
  8. Cause we watch in it in real time. Plus, it gets your goat to bring attention to your 'ship'.
  9. Greetings one and all. Rainy Sunday here. My son took Cookie for a walk... she HATES the rain.
  10. Even when you're thinking of the Spikeman?
  11. Clo is an angel on earth. Your perviness has infected your mind.
  12. Sure seems like weird foreplay to me.
  13. I stand by my statement.
  14. Dreary day, and I'm watching old movies on TCM... "Calamity Jane"... and now "Love Me or Leave Me"... I love Doris Day.
  15. Yeah, well I can't tell with you guys. You were bossing him around, so.... whatever... never mind....
  16. Sounded like Drew was playing dom and you were wanting him to force you or whatever.
