Refugium

Oh, Doctor, you sentimental old sod.

By May Vic had stayed with Loup for three of his down times, which had settled back into a regular pattern - each full moon. These episodes began with Loup needing a lot of rest, but then progressed to a very active but still non-verbal phase, during which the two of them would go to a forested area and walk for miles. They had visited Vic’s Uncle Martin twice more together. Martin’s speech and thinking were clearer than usual when Loup was present, but he was obviously declining. Vic

Loup arrived early for the concert at First Circle Unitarian. To his surprise, Logan was already seated in a pew near the front. “Logan! I thought I would have the place to myself this early.” Logan put his book down, stood and hugged Loup. “I gave Brian a ride. His call time was an hour before the show, and I decided to hang around.” “So, you and Brian? What’s going on there?” “Oh, he’s still got a cast on his foot, so transportation is still awkward for him. I’ve been dropping b

I don't know if I should be appalled that this strikes you as a typical thanksgiving dinner or relieved that your typical thanksgiving is no worse. For so many, it's not Thanksgiving without at least one drunken knock-down drag-out fight, preferably with someone taking a shotgun to the TV!

Hey, at least there won't be any sharks! I'll send you a virtual pie on Thanksgiving.

Vic showed up a little early at Loup’s apartment on Thanksgiving. He found a note taped by the intercom: “VIC, I’M IN THE GREENHOUSE IN BACK –LOUP.” Vic walked around and entered the greenhouse, where Loup was cutting flowers. “Vic, hi. I wanted to bring your mother some heliotrope. Smell them.” Vic sniffed at the blossoms. “Wow. They smell great.” “Yeah, I grow them basically as medicine.” “You eat these?” “No, they’re poisonous.

Oh, my. Where is my fan? I have a serious case of the vapors.

Well! I shall Look Out for Mister Stork. But I do hope that Ray and Gabriel's child will not be a large-eared elephant.

Hey, don't underestimate Leslie Nielsen. Remember the effect he had on Debbie Reynolds in Tammy and the Bachelor. And he is the Swamp Fox!

These are aspects of Section 8 housing with which I was hitherto unacquainted.

Ray was being herded? So that's what they were -- demon border collies!

Wow! That was exciting. I'm coming into this late, but so much the better -- I get to binge-read.

An absolute delight.

Thank you! I tend to like sad.
