hahahahahaha.

I meant 2,000 words but ... I see your point!   ;)

I am writing another chapter tonight by the way.  Since the Germans teased out 3rd place in the World Cup final they are blowing horns and setting off fireworks to celebrate the further crushing of Portugal, and I wont sleep in any case!

Have fun!     And tell Rudy the bartender that I'm keeping his pants as a souvenir !



Hey David!
I was having a blast with my friends, enjoying the men dancing in cages and the bartenders in their tight drawers ... until my purse went missing/stolen (still cant figure how)!  :'(
It has been a crap day trying to sort all that out ...
'Sh!t, f**k, damn!' is how I feel right now!  :(

oh my goodness, that is terrible for you Lucise!  Someone must have nabbed it at a moment you were... enjoying things.

I hope the copious chapters of Lengthy Sox Sex help console you!

Well, there were supposed to be about 5 friends watching my bag and a girlfriend's bag when we went to the restroom for 2 minutes ... when I got back, nobody knew where mine had gone!  Well, I sure have learned a lesson or two here ...

Milli,

That sucks, sorry to hear the trouble.  Have you called to cancel all the credit card?

I have so many favorite parts of the Laramie Saga, I couldn't name one as best.

But the meeting of Ellery and Ennis and those first few hours of getting acquainted has to be near the top.

I would love to hear that story told from Ellery's point of view.

Anybody else feel that way?

Yeah thats also my fave part. I think an Ellery POV would be fascinating too. (maybe flashback).

Do you know the old saying, "Misery loves company?"

Ennis and Jack are real: They are archetypes that live in all of us. So our grief about Jack's death is real. Each person needs to move on from grief at her or his own pace. Those who are not ready to move on don't want Ennis to move on, or you or me, either. If the question should actually come up in a conversation, we can just say something like, "I really need this to help me deal with my grief. If it doesn't help you, don't read it."

Great insight. Thanks for that.

Now that... is certainly doable!  A flashback, that is.

Stay tuned everyone, I am in the chat room with Leslie blabbing and also working on chapter 68.  More will be happening today.  Please feel free to join in and enjoy the chapters!

Also welcome Helen and June, a couple of European fans who are very enthusiastic.  Helen also writes BBM Fan fics and perhaps she will come share as well!
