I have only been on one cruise in my life. My partner and I traveled from Seattle to Vancouver, Canada then down the western America coast to Tijuana, Mexico. The cruise was a reorientation of the ship from the northwest to docking in San Diego for the winter cruises, but there is some sort of maritime rule that a ship cannot end in another port in the same country without a stop in another country first which was why the stop in Vancouver, BC and then on to Tijuana. We ended up being bussed from there to San Diego then being flown back to Seattle. Very complicated. At any rate, I shared a small cabin with my partner and we were seated at a table in the main dining room with other couples, and being introduced as 'partners' and I did not feel any negative atmosphere during the entire trip. The cruise was very pleasant but one memory I will carry all my life was the absolute poverty of Mexico between Tijuana and the California border. The house I saw out of the bus windows were total shacks principally constructed out of door panels from destroyed houses. some of them even had 'Men" and "Women" still painted on them!

Because of your memorials to David Daniel at the beginning of each chapter and the knowledge that this story is about your love, I realize how difficult these memories must be, but take heart, Daniel does live on forever in your heart and in the pleasure you bring to all us readers.

How is he driving!? - How was he driving!? After a previous DWI, if that was the case, His insurance was either canceled or the premiums were astronomical! I am sure the man will spend a significant time in prison, perhaps 20 years, lose the majority of his assets, including the car dealerships too as he will have to pay both fines and settlements, and loss of income the Sasha will be considerable as his principal source of income was in tips. Someone who will be badly hurt by this will be PG wife number two as her ex will be in no position to pay her support now. But then she married the A$$hole with the hope of being a wealthy divorcee.

A DWI (driving while intoxicated) which results in serious injury or, as in this case, a death, is an extremely serious charge and almost always results in incarceration. Even if our men sign off with a settlement, there is always a criminal charge involved and the courts are not so easily bought off.

I consider myself very fortunate. As of this date, I am nearing my 85th birthday. My mother had a weak heart and it just gave out eventually. My father did die of cancer in his back, but as of now, I am the sole remaining member of my family. My brother and his son were killed in accidents, my sister had two children, one of whom is still alive, but all my other relatives are long gone. I do not drink and smoked only for a few years at about the late teens. Apparently, I have no life-threatening diseases at this time so I am planning on sticking around to hit at least 100. Not looking forward to it but hanging on. My partner, who is 56 is grumbling that I will probably outlive him. So I am relatively well and somewhat unhappy as no man gonna give into no man whose 85 years old.

Be careful, Eric, achalasia can be an advanced symptom of esophageal cancer. Your partner. Tony, needs to be examined by an oncologist to make sure he is nor pre-cancerous. achalasia, on the other hand, can frequently be treated with simple OTC ant-acids like my favorite Rolaids.

I have noticed that most of the paintings of the Renaissance show men. women, soldiers, small children, really everyone as being barefoot. I love this as I have somewhat of a foot fetish, but it makes me wonder, did everyone go barefoot in ancient times? Does any antiquarian out there have an answer to that?

There is an interesting story behind the word 'posh' In the 19th Century it was fashionable for English people, especially those who had just graduated from college, to take what was known as the 'Grand Tour' from England around the Mediterranean and back home, visiting all the ancient cities of Europe along the way. Because the English were uncomfortable in heat or strong sunlight they were given cabins on the shady side of the vessels for the trip. Their tickets were marked "port out starboard home" this quickly became abbreviated P.O.S.H. then the dots disappeared and the marking became POSH. So the finest accommodations were known as 'posh' and the word thereafter crept into standard usage. was our on rooftop area - was our own rooftop area they were constructed was - they were constructed

“Yea, yea.” Tony grinned. - “Yeah, yeah.” Tony grinned. not necessarily the abeyance - not necessarily the ambiance. One point of information: I realize this story is only semi-fictional, being based on the author's life experiences, but if it were to be done today, instead of rice being thrown, birdseed might be used in place of rice as it would be a treat for the wild birds after all the guests are gone. It is supposed to simulate rain falling as a symbol of fertility. There are some other traditions of the marriage ceremony which might have been a part of a gay wedding, for example, something borrowed, something blue and a penny in the shoe, saving the top tier of the wedding cake to be eaten on the first anniversary, and maybe even throwing a garter, or if a M\M wedding, an arm garter, into the crowd at the reception, each of these, and several more, is possible even in a gay wedding. . . and may replace the boring trip to the County Clerks office to sign the marriage register as many gay weddings default to in this age. Traditions have a place in life and many of the wedding traditions that have grown since Roman times have a significance even in modern weddings and can add so much to the event.
