Wally remembered Marc's scathing words in his first trip down. He's grown enough to acknowledge what he did. But he may not be able to shed real tears for a while. Your observations are very astute. Wally has made some decisions, though he may not wholly recognize them as such. Many, many thanks for your comments and for reading this story.

Yes - the older man is wiser - and Wally never saw it coming...thanks for reading!

Wally saw some unalloyed good with Marc and Lee, and realized how much he'd been missing living with Oscar and Javi for a few days. Perhaps they inspired him to write that postcard. Wally is naturally observant, but now maybe he is observing himself more honestly and carefully. Perhaps that's why he didn't pay enough attention to Cookie's good natured entrapment! How Wally reacts to the challenge Cookie has left with him will be important. Pressure? What pressure? Thanks a ton for a wonderful review, and for reading the story!

Very well said. I liked this.

Liam still has a thing for Alek. He knows it, and admits it to himself. He does not know if he has a thing for Nathan. Not yet. But at least he is choosing to give Nathan a greater chance, so perhaps this will mean a stronger bond between them. Alek has meant a lot of pain to Liam, and that association has to be a strong one, too, or he wouldn't have dismissed Alek twice over. Still, Marty may have a point - the one Liam may really choose could be someone he hasn't met yet. Great chapter!

Such intense interpretation, and such wonderful music made. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for your comments. Cookie neatly snared his prey, and now Wally has a great deal of learning to do. But you're right in that this task will undoubtedly engage his brain and talents. Thanks also for your kind comments on pacing. I think it is very important to see Wally grow and change; it is a hopeful thing.

Cookie was pretty smooth, no? Now there's lots of data and sorting to do...and yes, a database may be preferable for many tasks. Not taking sides over fave DB's, though! Thanks for reading, and for your comments.

It felt oddly comforting to be back on the Feigenbaum. Javier and Oscar had been wonderfully kind, attentive hosts. Theirs was a happy and loving household, and he'd been included. But he'd felt envious of both the fathers and the son, and that bothered him. And knowing that about himself bothered him more. He should have been able to retreat into the cold remoteness of his stony heart, but he just couldn't. Javier and Oscar's mutual affection and Michael's blossoming young romance shouldn't hav

This post is abundantly kind and generous. This is what encouraged me so much about GA - people volunteered out the kindness of their hearts to help me improve my writing. You point out the danger of trying to second guess what readers will cheer or pan so well. I cannot speak for anyone else, but it has surely happened to me, too. Your tribute is enough to make a strong man blush.

This poem helps me feel the ache of rejection, the desperation for deepening. The way the final lines change sunset into night is quite beautiful, in its very sad way. I admire this.

You write a simple, deeply powerful poem. A dog as love, simplified. I cannot think of a better way to describe so many of the dogs I have known - large, small, languid or energetic. I am especially taken by the empty space you describe; the form not there in body, but in our hearts and minds always. Thank you.

Clean perhaps, but not clean enough. At least Robbie told Alex what he thought, and he can hardly be blamed. But what are Daniel and the never-to-be-conciliated Nicola to think? The coming clean is not at all finished, I fear.

Chapter 43 Coming to Grips
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 43 Coming to Grips
Come on Vegas, you know what's could work...and you know that isolation really doesn't work...you can do it.... thanks for another lively and illuminating chapter. I suspect Kellar and Tobyn will have a wonderful run..... -
I ran across this quite accidentally today. Now I have it saved...

Marty, Marty, inching close to the edge. You know you may as well jump, before someone pushes you - landing hurts a lot worse if you get pushed. Beautifully, artfully told. I am very much enjoying this.

This chapter shows Ryder growing and more comfortable with Tyler than with anyone save Jeremy and his family. I liked how well you paint this more open Ryder. Renee and her friends are not going away, and Ryder is simply going to have to find a way to deal with them either tactfully and gracelessly. I hope he can find a way to get around the pressure he must be experiencing.

Being Gay And Seeking Definition
Parker Owens commented on W_L's blog entry in Life is worth an entry
"Being gay is not what defines you.... In the end, you are still using one piece of your life to extract meaning to the rest of it. Sexuality is neither the validation for your life nor the reason to fight against it." This spoke very powerfully to me. Thank you for saying this. -
Oh, yes.

Cookie is an old pro. Wally, the predator, got stalked, taken down and trussed up before he could peep or figure out what was happening. Quickbooks? That would be too easy...thanks for your reading and thoughts...will pass them on to Cookie!

Wally has the eye popping experience to help a younger man connect some of the dots in life. But Wally is still so much in a transition: will he become someone new, or will he be chased back into something like his old life? But I like to think of Wally as the better of these options. Now, as to Carlos, I thought that description was unneeded, as be all know how hot the big man is....

Pascal's triangle is such a wonderful mathematical wonder, but trying to find words that make a poem to fit was a harder task than I envisioned. The Sequence poem probably should be withdrawn, until I can re-write it to make better sense, but its pattern is there for students in Calc 2 or so. And you can turn in your doodles with your next review... ...thanks very much for being kind enough to give these a go.
