I’m humbled by your characterization of these small offerings. It was so good of you to read them, and it makes me smile to know you enjoyed the moments you spent with them. Thank you!

You succeeded admirably in what you set out to do. I liked this very much.

What a great story. I applaud your annual project!
-
Thank you very much for reading these and for your words of encouragement. Perhaps they seem playful because I haven’t been able to get out so much. Or maybe it’s just spring. Thanks again.
-
Thank you for taking the time to read these. That you read April 21 three times makes me blush that you thought it worth the trouble. It’s also grand that April 17 connected with you. You’re so good to comment on these.

I’m very glad you enjoyed these. You can tell I was culling and cleaning bookshelves.

April 15 Pray tell where wild mergansers go when the north wind rages and creeks their verdant banks o’erflow where ancient cottonwoods still grow gnarled as bearded sages? What sheltered nest, what warm retreat from the tempest howling, awaits a creature most discreet, protection in the cold and sleet from sleek hunters prowling? Someplace above brown roiling foam roaring in vexation, a high ar

Let’s hear it for Chase, who forced Hank to see outside his own four walls of anger and fear. Hank may not entirely believe it all, but perhaps he can see more than he did earlier. Chase can let Hank figure out what to do with all this information and experience now. He knows Hank will need plenty of time for that.

What a perfectly wonderful final chapter; birth, marriage, John’s final parting - it’s all there, and beautiful. Thank you for this lovely story.

Life has more value than The Economy. I wonder why some have a hard time seeing that? You’ve made it very, very clear. Thank you.

Brad has a plan, and is future focused. That’s immense. Like him, I appreciated Lincoln’s eloquent words and motivation for seeking a new assignment.

It was very believable. And the push Troy needed was delivered deftly.

Just one more? This one was golden and sunlit. I loved it, especially how Troy heard John scuttle excuses and doubts in his mind. Beautifully done.

You aptly describe the Great Pause and what happens internally while the world plays freeze tag with our lives. I’m very sorry you’ve felt under the weather, and hope you are better.

I’m very glad some of these made you smile. I’m most grateful you read these. Thank you.

It’s a cold day out, but my blood is boiling.

Chapter 35 I Will Always Cry for You
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 35 I Will Always Cry for You
Yearning and remembrance breathe through both of these. I can feel the ache. Hugs. -
Thanks very much for reading! I’m glad you liked them, even the mathematical one.
-
I confess to wanting leftovers - lemon meringue pie is such a favorite. I'm glad you liked April 12. And I am glad the last one connected with you, too. Many thanks for reading.
-
Thank you, tim. I'm glad you read these and that this one struck you as a favorite.
-
I am glad it is not yet gnat/blackfly season yet. Splat, indeed! And the last one expresses some of my frustration in having to correspond and "zoom meet" for everything instead of sharing life with living, breathing students and friends. Thank so much for reading and for your comments!
-
Thank you for reading these, and for savoring so many lovely gifts with me.

April 8 A raindrop’s life is short, no time for sex or sport and worse I must report: the ground it must abort. Compare this to the gnat long weeks an insect brat on bitten blood grown fat, ends in a messy splat. And what to make of man whose time the years may span: a charted course he ran that rarely went to plan. Much longer lasts the sun, which has more time for fun; whe

Chapter 16 Moral Support
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 16 Moral Support
The roller coaster ride continues. Hank and Chase ride back up to a beautiful high spot, with vistas of reconciliation and mended hearts, only to plummet into the depths at the coffee shop. Hank’s mother has no idea what an emotional vortex she’s stepping into. -
It would be difficult for Troy to turn Grant down in the midst of a trip like that. But they’re so deeply in love, ‘hell yes’ seems like the only answer possible. This chapter seems so suffused with their love. Thank you.
