I’m not allowed to laugh out loud in public. You made me break one of my rules. It’s December. That means I have to write a story about someone I remember from school. We used to joke his sister was named Mary. Mary Christmas.
Really. True story. I’d tell you where to find him on Classmates but then I might give something away about myself nobody needs to know. Well, almost nobody.

Apparently, Colt doesn’t have a clue about Davin’s orientation. I have to believe Gavin at least suspects.
Happy New Ye… um Thanksgiving. Excellent resolution to what could have been a very tricky problem.
I’m surprised none of the wait staff suggested using the hotel’s landline to phone the police after the thugs were subdued, rather than waiting until the jammer was found. Or maybe @Bill W just didn’t think of it.
Oh shoot. I wonder if I should have done that before I finished and submitted mine. Good thing it was only defined by what Val sent me.
