London, 1939. War with Germany is approaching and a snow storm rages as an elderly Scottish politician boards the night sleeper train. But this is unlike any other journey he's ever done, or will do again!

Immanuel Kant immediately fascinated me, yet this story is not about him, but about how he changed my life.

Actually, it wasn't exactly Kant who changed it, but it was my grandmother's grandmother, who had probably been a witch.

A short story about an old man and his grandson. History and sharing.

A short and very personal conversation with my dog.

"Every interaction was an opportunity to impress him, to teach him, to care for him. To make him love me. I wondered, in that moment, whether we could ever maintain a healthy relationship, or if I’d continue down a one way street of unrequited love."

Our 'adventurer' is back! His English has some Germanic traits but his lover understands him well enough however, having deciphered the question what will the answer be? There's a few moments of sadness but then there's some hot sex to makeup for them. Meeting the parents - oooo scary!

It prompted me to think of an event in my past and decided to share, maybe give you something to think about.

It's reasonably accurate and factual.

He likes to be called Eli and loves football (or soccer as some people call it), and, for intimacy he prefers the same sex. what could go wrong on his first day.
