Self-Defense is the most logical conclusion. There is some movement in the U.S. to change mandatory sentencing rules governing judges. These rules are why our prisons are overcrowded with some inmates serving horribly long terms for possession of a little pot. late in the game showing up the inspector as a raving bigot seems a bit disingenuous. But, thank you for another great read.

I wish I could check “love it” a hundred times. You awakened memories of a college mythology course I loved. I still have the text after sixty-five years. Thank you.

You have awakened a lot of old memories and perfectly captured the fate of many of us. Thanks???

What great way to open Christmas. JJ being likable and aware of his shortcomings? A big surprise, but I don't know how to handle it! Thanks for another good read. I hope the new year is kind to all of us.

How can a presume to review what I am also living. The friends all gone, all the funerals, but I have fooled the ghouls. I donated this hulk to the med.school. I have hidden the stash of pills. Probably won't remember where when I need them. SO, that's enough wallowing, enough pity party. The years aren't golden, but they will be lived. It would be nice to find a hereafter, but my doubts have pretty much erased those hopes. You have given me a great evening of all those wonderful people and times. Maybe that's what's mean't by Golden years.

A beautiful love story. I am a hopeless romantic and hope to hear more of Cal and Davie. I had my own love story for fifty-three years and want everyone to have that kind of love. AND the letter from daddy supplies a great opportunity for a sequel. Thanks for giving me a good, new author to follow.

This is exciting stuff, human ingenuity and all that. BUT one thing about the hydroponics is bugging me. They have young fruit trees in tubs. Won't it be several years before they bear fruit? Or is this really a long-term project?

So sad and so well written. I reject the horror story vampires. I love the vampire heros who retain some human values and nobility. I once wrote a fan letter to Anne Rice asking her to send Lestat to my house where I would lie naked in the back yard waiting for him. She responded that she had a good laugh and might use the idea in a future book. NOT so far. It is impossible for me to imagine what I would do with immortality. The stillness sounds like a good solution. Thanks for the good read.

Been there. Lay in the mud on the side of a Korean mountain holding my friend while he died and I didn't. such waste.

Oh, that is one awful hangover. Trouble is real drunks don't have hangovers. We never got sober long enough to have them. I hope he will get sober before it kills him. So good to work again, to love people again. To wake up again.

I have read so much phantasy and SF, I think always hoping to find this one. I was with them all the way and I want to go back again. I am much older than Grampa, but you made me young again. Thanks!!!

Sojourn, I have loved your writing since first reading Gordy. I think this latest effort has overtaken TR in my private ratings. NOW, as to emails. GA seems to have no problem with sending me several emails a week whenever a staff member posts a new "Great Thought" which I usually find uninteresting if I bother to read them at all! I would happily send private messages if I knew how. Being a borderline computer illiterate I need help. Any offers?
