At times you have to turn from long held rules. So I gave thanks to that God-I-don't-believe-in. I thanked Him that today was cooler and way dryer than yesterday. This great weather forecast is important for my hair and ultimately, my meeting with Kathy. After the run and shower I dressed in a soft navy V-neck with a white shell necklace, dark blue straight jeans and light blue Vans. My hair was manageable because of the weather. It even looked good. Hey, I had a cute girl to impress!! Only fr

Thank You Parker, for all four reviews! Yes, David is being tossed around by emotional and physical waves. Twoey is ready to explore his sexuality. Smells like trouble ahead. Lots of days to go until New Year's Eve.

I have always been a proponent of avoiding any software Version x.0 That being said, a coworker upgraded from V7 and can't speak highly enough of v10. Says it's way superior and faster.

Nice first chapter, Dodger, and well written! It provided all the necessary background without ever once being tedious ...and certainly left me waiting for chapter two.

Hey Thanks Defiance! I'm glad you found the story and gladder that you like it!!

Aw thanks Lisa! I'm sorry this posted so soon after the last chapter. Judging from how long they "reviewed" my first 3 chapters, I thought it would post Monday, but it got up in about an hour!! I'll try to slow them down a bit. The next chapter will be the first 'meaty' part. So pay attention ...haha

Thanks CG! You've sussed more than you can even imagine: One of the four crossroads of David's journey! Stay tuned, as my father used to say

Haha! Great Mark ...clarify and confuse all in one chapter. I love it!

Hey CG, I'm replying to your reply to my review of Ch 31 (if you can follow all that) You asked if I have been following all this time etc. etc. I only found GA about a year and a half ago, and I was just a reader. I never expected to write a story. I'm an artist, actually, and work at a gallery - certainly not a writer, which should be pretty obvious if you're reading my "18 weeks." btw That story grew out of something that happened last September, and I started writing it then, right on Mustang Island, TX. Someday we'll talk about it, I'm sure. I found J&M while looking for stories to read. I was new to the site and couldn't navigate too well - I'm still not too good at it e.g. knowing this forum even existed, or how to find it - thanks for the navigation, you're better than my car's gps. I have to admit I couldn't get into J&M and abandoned it after two or three chapters. But early this summer I bumped into a new chapter you posted, really liked it and thought I'd better read this story! So I started on chapter one and suddenly realized it looked familiar. It's a great story. I must have been a little high or something the first time. Anyway, that's why I suddenly "appeared." Keep up the good work, and I'll check back here from time to time. I might even say something. luv ya - SD

The day began so hot and sauna-like. After our run I definitely knew that I wasn't gonna be dressing up--Sorry Gary. So after my shower I just threw on basketball shorts and a light beige cotton tee that said: ADMIT IT I'M HOT! Haha ...and I knew I was gonna be ...All Day! Depending on the weather or humidity my hair can be quite a mess. It even changes color a bit. It’s less blond and more light brown streaky--really mousy! Ugh! My mother always hints I should have it cut, but that ain’t never

Wow! Thanks a lot Lisa! Of course, I don't want to give stuff away B-), but David's a little deeper than we've seen so far. There's 119 chapters to go where he'll get more 3-dimensional. But yeah, he's screwed up.

Finally - poor Benny. I've always had a soft spot for him, probably because irl I know someone like Benny. Nicely put together CG.

Thanks Coastguard! You're right. David seems to be dealing (or not dealing) with unfamiliar emotions. But don't worry, things only get lots worse >

Hey CG! Thanks for that. Yeah he does, but I think you can tell he's the kind of guy who wait's for the obvious to punch him in the face

Really riveting - from the first word to the last! Well done.

This morning sprang like wood I couldn’t hide. As soon as he saw me Gary said, “I texted Twoey and he’ll be joining us.” Okay, well here goes THE PLAN. I just couldn’t be trapped into looking at him too much and certainly not at his eyes! He was stretching when we got there. I went over and, while focusing on his nose, I said, “Hey, Twoey, sorry for bolting yesterday but I must have eaten something that didn’t agree with me and I went home to puke.” That was a really cute nose too. Shit! He la

Thanks Lisa! Don't abandon Mike quite yet.

Thanks Coastguard! I'm glad it's entertaining you so far. Only 120 chapters to go I know you meant to be encouraging in comparing me to Comsie, but I'm not anywhere near his league!

“I hate when my mother gives me those pitiful looks and talks about me not having a girlfriend!” The run was a little less tiring this morning. “So just get one. It's no big deal. Girls want boyfriends. Just do it!” “Yeah, I guess so.” “But David, wear some cooler stuff. I mean, tees and shorts or old jeans are okay sometimes, but every once in a while you gotta get their attention.” So ...I thought about that. Next time we go to Syracuse I’ll have to bug my mother into letting me shop at A&a

Aw ...thanks Lisa! I'll try not to disappoint.

Thanks for the encouragement Coastguard; I hope you'll continue to enjoy.

The tale you are about to read is true. Completely, Except some of the names were changed to protect the guilty; And the venue was changed to help obscure the identities of those involved; And the time period was shifted forward a few years also; Indeed, some characters were even added to help fill out the cast; Clearly, particular incidents were made-up and some were altered to help the dramatic flow; Certainly any allusions to abnormal intuition or accomplishments are obviously invented.

Haha! I was wondering how you were going to cause trouble between Brandon and Billy!! I think Brandon is going to be a bit gun-shy, considering his 'Dad' worry. Poor Billy ...a one-two punch ...Mom, then Brandon. Will Billy's Dad save the day?

A compelling start! It will be interesting to see how you develop it. I'm rootin' for ya.
