    OMG Jeffrey! Binging on David could be hazardous to your mental health. Didn't you read the warning labels? Thanks for your nice comments btw. The next few chapters are shortish and so I'll be posting them a little closer together.

    Hey oxala! You make a good point! No, not about PPF, but about Putin. David2 seems to have abandoned meditation, hasn't he. That could prove to be a costly mistake.

    Thanks mitchelll ! It was a bit of a jolt, although D2 seemed to take it in stride. I wonder how D1 would have reacted?

    Familiarity breeds contempt--and children. - Mark Twain *** Tommy Well, breakfast sure as hell ain't fun no more! I could always count on David to stir up a little shit and get the day off in a jokey mood for me, but this new kid just sits there with mother going over sins and punishments, and always talks about fucking adultery. Now if it were David, I could ask him, when we were alone, why that stupid sin was so important. But I won't even talk to this kid. I don't talk to strangers. And

    Andy has normal wedding eve jitters, but amplified by the K-family confusion, the S-family rainbow of reactions, the Z-lacuna and, unique to him, the fear of a genetic curse. I doubt much sleep will be in the picture tonight. Maybe he'll get some shut-eye during the service. Let's hope he explains his fears to Zander soon. I think he can help put the worries to rest. Maybe the good Doctor can too. A kaleidoscope of a chapter Parker! Very delicately done.

    Thanks Rex! Really great comments. The little recurring line does mark a division in Toph's understanding of different aspects of (his) life. btw we'll see it again in the epilogue. - I wonder if anyone will remember

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early January

    Hey Def! Thanks for your comments. I could be flip and say the breakup is a typical male thing, but considering how long they were together it seemed a little cold. We don't know why and do we know Steve's previous breakup technique, so we're in the dark. Even though you think you weren't too clear (haha), you're pretty insightful about the Oscar/Toph relationship. Oscar has stuff to offer Toph, and Toph needs it. There's no one else who can do it for him. Oscar also has a few surprises for us ahead.

    Hey Tim! What a WONDER of a review ...hehe Most of your questions can't be answered right now because we only have Toph's POV and, of course, he doesn't know either. Oscar could definitely have helped Toph re: Steve, but a broken heart is a broken heart and it can't be fixed except with time. I don't think Toph has an eating problem. He's suddenly putting on height (it can happen at 19) as a final spurt, but he's not gaining weight, hence he's thinner.

    Thanks jess! What you speculate could be true. As I mentioned to spikey, we only see this story through Toph's eyes, which is a weakness for us (the readers). We can never forget that.

    Thanks tim! I think your comment about life making us take stock is the insight we need for this chapter. Thanks for saying it so clearly! Toph seeing more and feeling more is a new beginning for him. It's sorta how we begin to grow, right?

    Thanks for the comments spikey! You're absolutely right, something big had to have happened to Steve between the eves. We only see things through Toph's eyes, so we'll find out if he does. Meanwhile we can speculate. But obviously something happened.

    Hey Graeme, thanks for your always great comments. I think everything WAS sort of on hold at this moment for Toph. It was as though he was taking a breath from his letdown and re-calibrating. Oscar and the bird lady is the beginning of something, so I'm sorry it looked like a pickle in a dish of ice cream here.

    Thanks avid! I appreciate your comments. The Steve/Toph thing seemed a little casual until near the end. idk maybe Steve didn't want to get serious, or got insulted at not having Toph reciprocate with meet the mommies.

    Hey jaysalmn! Thanks for this. Yeah, Steve is still a little of an unknown quantity at this point in time. Interesting you had that first impression, but I guess he was a little fast and smooth at the first morning meeting they had.

    Well that was ... (ahem) ... hot let me check the manual ... hmmm first date - kiss nope, you threw the book away. well ...I'm glad you did. if two guys ever deserved relishing the joy you so warmly hotly described, it was Jared and Craig. just perfect Gary!

    Chapter 6

    skinnydragon commented on Ronyx's story chapter in Chapter 6

    I think I agree with avid about Lane. He might be the key. Casey learned a bit today. Maybe he can use Lane's table to avoid the jock table vortex, yet still be on the team. I'm just hypothesizing here. Obviously we need more info, so we're waiting! A great story Ronyx, and an eye-opening chapter.

    Watch out Jackson! You're having fun with Luke!

    Thanks Def! You're right, creating David2 has put David into uncharted waters. He knows the direction he's going, but all the reefs and shoals ahead can cause unexpected consequences. Maybe Twoey will realize he's the one who holds the key. I have a feeling he won't move toward his mom though. I think you feel that too. It's amazing how well we can read his mind ...hehe. Tommy, well ...at least he realizes something's going on.

    Thanks mitchelll ! Yes, there certainly is an element of that here. Rocky times ahead.

    Discovering. Saturday was January 5th. It was the first time I saw or spoke to Steve since the New Year’s Eve incident. He never did call me. I was very busy at work, once the winter break ended, but I was not going to initiate the call. I may have harbored a little resentment. Of course, Saturday was our day. After I somehow resigned from Pettibone's, Friday night was also to be our time, but with the holidays, it hadn’t yet become as deep a commitment as did Saturdays. I didn’t contact Steve

    Hey oxala! That was TWICE you quoted Twoey's last complaint! you're two sneaky. too sneaky?? I'm shocked, shocked you think my humor is inappropriate!
  22. skinnydragon
    Thanks oxala! I hope you enjoyed your 'twoey'
  23. skinnydragon
    Thanks Tim! David thanks you too, for your confidence in him. You're right, of course, in the fact there will be a price to pay. There always is. Unfortunately the price is sometimes commensurate with the risks. I'm sensing huge risks ahead.

    Hey Lisa! Thanks for all your comments and sorry for all your worries. At this point David2 is only one day old, so let's not jump to conclusions ...although it was a disquieting thought he had. Of course the van and David2's belief he is somehow KGB-worthy could set him up for damage. I guess we'll have to see how that plays out ...but it's NOT play
  25. skinnydragon
    Great rant spikey!! What can I say? The only quibble I have is that David's fear of the results from revealing the fuckfest is real and frightening (to him). But he's just a kid - we should never forget that.
