Joanne, I'm glad you enjoyed this story and found it uplifting. As far as the dialect, I guess my time living in the south has not been in vain and helped me with this aspect of the story.
Wayne, very nicely done. I didn't think sex change, but when you kept saying how she looked familiar I figured she might be Teddy's mother or another close female relative. I think the twist that surprised me is how Mary sent the other ticket to Teddy, by figuring the mail would be forwarded to his current address. I'm glad things worked out for them.
I moved to Georgia after taking a job with a large construction company that had offices in Atlanta, Augusta and Macon. Since it was possible that I could be assigned to work out of any of those offices at any given time, I decided to try to find a place to live where my commute would be approximately the same, no matter which location I was working out of at the time. With that in mind, I started driving around until I spotted a perfect piece of property that was located near the center of th
Justin Doyle moved to Georgia to find a job, but it’s also where he met his partner, Andrew Livingston. They were doing well until a recession gripped the country and the situation turned bleak, but then a stormy night turned into one they’ll never forget.
My absolute favorite was APBA Baseball, where you got to pick your favorite professional team and then make your own line up using any all-star that had played on the team - ever. You could call situations, like hit and run, bunt, steal, and the outcome was determined by a roll of the dice, using the player's lifetime stats. It was great.
I also enjoyed the games Life, Stratego, Clue and Trivial Pursuit.

Has the financial pressure, with sponsors pulling out because of this policy, enough to get the Boy Scouts leadership to change? Only time will tell, but this is a positive signal.
Alex, have you thought about trying cross-country skiing or going to the gym to play basketball, jog or just workout? If not, you may consider some of those things.
Happy Birthday, David. Are you related to Duncan or Connor, the Highlanders? If you're immortal too, then you'll have many more of these. Hope they're all great!
Thanks, Hector. I can see the similariities, except I think everyone else was focusing on the good ol' boys, not Devin, but he might fit the Rambo mode, just not quite as macho.
Excuse me that this isn't in my usual size font or color, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Kyle and I hope it's a great one. The entire world is throwing a huge party on your behalf.
Happy Birthday, Jack. Unfortunately, you were one of those people who got shortchanged with a birthday during the holidays, but I hope it's still a great one.
