In Canada we have these 'hockey parents' whose whole lives are wrapped up in their talented kids, with the hope and goal of making the NHL. They aren't bad parents, but they will admit the other kids often take back seats because of the time and cost it takes to support a hockey player. Of course there is ego involved, and I wanted to show that here in Marilyn. The twins are the 'athletes' and Blake is the 'nerd', but is he really? No... he is every bit as talented as his siblings, just in a different way. The twins are cool... which is often the case. Alison's support over Ryan shows how caring she is. I agree Ryan was awkward... it's hard to put yourself out there as a gay man, but he hung in there. Happy you liked this one, Terry. It was one of three for an anthology, and I wrote my little heart out that year. This one remains a favorite. Appreciate the kind words, my friend. Cheers! Gary....

Both poems are beautiful. I very much related to the first one. Sometimes we can have too many ideas. Wonderful imagery.

Adios, muchacho. Sweet dreams...

Happy Thursday, all.

Good morning, Terry. Same thing. Morning, bro and Mum. Good morning, youngster. Bonjour, Tink. Jealous much? Hey, brother B. Aloha, Albert. No trouble maker here. Hey, spikeman.

She can't fault you for looking pretty. Thus, fifty-fifty sounds fair to me. She gets distracted easily so she'll need you.

Night, Terry.

Hey, Terry. Thanks... pain in the ass but I need stuff... and a new blu ray player before I install the mantle.

Fire's not installed yet. On my way out to do some shopping at Home Depot.

Do I want to know what kind of party you guys had? Hey, Tink.

Happy Wednesday, all!

Aloha, Albert!

Good morning, angel.

Definitely on. Hey, bro and Mum. I guess you are back on the road again. Safe travels.

Congratulations, kbois, on your well-deserved promotion!!! Cheers!

You're short on facts there, buddy.
