  1. Happy Monday, all!
  2. Fat chance of me getting nailed anytime soon.
  3. I could use a nap right now. I spent about four/five hours at Home depot and Lowes. Bought myself a battery powered nail gun for $300 on sale... hope it works well... should make it easier on my shoulders. Another $75 on nails.
  4. Lol. Virgil would find it funny. And so do I.
  5. We'll see what Virgil can do to help the young man. He definitely needs someone in his corner besides Murry the barkeep. When he answers Virgil's question about why he stays in Matador Hill with "Where else would I go?" it breaks my heart, and probably Virgil's too. I see Wyatt as sad, but we can't ignore his resilience either. His parents, and it would seem his ma especially, instilled a strength in him that keeps him from being pathetic despite the treatment he gets. It's so nice to have you join me for this story, little buddy. I've always looked forward to your comments. Glad you could experience the scenes visually. When I read, I like to feel a part of the action, and that's what I try to do as a writer, so thanks for that. Hope you like the rest. Cheers!
  6. That's just... I can't even...
  7. Well, hello there, Drewbear.
  8. Happy Sunday, all!
  9. Sweet dreams, B.
  10. I always want to do the thing.
  11. We're way better than Texans. Hey, bro and Mum in SC.
  12. Happy GA Anniversary, Adi! Happy Birthday, Steve!
  13. Watch this and contemplate how everything in nature is connected... and how we constantly interfere...
  14. Dan! Yes, it's been too long since I've heard from you. Virgil is a good guy, but I would add he is an observer. He notices things, and he's not afraid to speak up. I hope you do find he is layered despite the shortness of the story. It is so nice to hear I've been missed, and I should tell you there is another story of mine coming in the next anthology grouping. Thanks, buddy. Here's to westerns, and to talking about them. Cheers!

    Chapter 1

    This took me back to some articles I read as a kid about this affliction called homosexuality, and what needed to/should be done to those depraved souls. They terrified me then and they would terrify me now. As sad as this story was, the skill with which you told it is impressive. I held my breath for much of this, so engrossed was I at this honest and accurate portrayal of gay men's lives. I mean it, Dodger. Your writing was impeccable, and you gave the subject matter the thoroughness and care it deserved. We must never forget, and stories like this aid our cause. To be considered a criminal for who you love is a travesty we are not far removed from. Cheers! Gary....
  16. Dactyls made me chuckle. I'll never look at them the same. I don't know if it was your intent, but the last one made me a bit sad. If we choose to be invisible, are we? There have been times I didn't feel part of the room... that I wasn't appreciated when I took part. I guess loneliness is universal... it can happen anywhere... and I felt loneliness in this one.
  17. Happy Saturday, all! Still hoping my new western gets more attention through reading, story likes, recommendations, and reviews, but it is what it is. Anyway, here's another cowboy...
  18. G'day, little sir.
  19. This misfit is doing all right. Have fun, Tink.
  20. I hope you had a pleasant day, dugh. My fingers are crossed. Sorry about the Canadian thing.
