Here he is - that ephemeral presence is never far away.





Omg ... that's the exact picture that I have as my desktop background right now.  (I change my wallpaper every couple of days or so AND my Windows startup and shutdown music is The Wings.)

I miss Jack, also.  He was actually my favorite character in the movie.  (I was a wreck at the end in the theater.)   :'(
Y'all may think this weird, but ... I bought the DVD the day it was released ... still haven't opened it.  *sigh*

I'm so glad Ennis still thinks about Jack, even as he moves forward with Ellery.  So heartbreaking that there is still so much regret and sadness, though.  Maybe with time, it will eventually get better, and the loving memories will hurt less and be replaced by fondness.   :(

I'm all *verklempt* today and going back into lurker mode, but I'm so grateful for the Laramie Saga.

Oh to switch places with that sheep and be held like that in Jakes arms....
 <deep heavy sigh>


PS:  NavyVet,   I also can't watch the movie anymore.   I think I have seen it so many times that Jack is now too real for me.   I think the last time I watched it I turned it off after the Dozy embrace flashback.

Hello! Back from a tough day slaving over the books. My brian aches. ITIL - such joy!

Anyway, two chapters awaiting me. Yipee!  ;D

SPOILERS


I love what Ennis has got for Ellery, discreet, but very symbolic. Did you have to think long and hard about what you wanted the boys to give each other as tokens?

 ;D

Hope you're feeling rested today.

Karen

yes.  I spent several nights tossing and turning, realizing that Ennis wanted to get Ellery something that would have an erotic import to it, but knowing he would never dare to buy a sex toy that looked like a sex toy.  (Hence the ping pong paddle - who would question someone buying ping pong paddles?)

I don't want to give away any more on that point right now!

Er, folks...

We went over 50,000 views on this thread sometime in the past day!

And in terms of readers, the Laramie Saga Livejournal site has, in 3 weeks' time, 53,000 views, from 7,107 hosts!  That is phenomenal!  Daily readership has been relatively steady:

average of 1700 views per day
average of 275 hosts  per day

Thank you all for showing such interest and love for Ennis, Ellery, and the Laramie Saga stories. I never would have believed a year ago as I started my 8th original novel, that I would have written 6 more by the time fall closed in a year later!  Amazing!

Jo, the keychains are great!

Thanks!  :)

Oh and that sweet adorable pic of Jack is to die for *sigh* I saw it on Wranglers too and immediately copied and saved it.
