Navy, you might consider starting a thread for your stories.  We are in the process of widening the mission of our humble Fan Fiction section to include MORE than just BBM fan fic, and we would certainly like to have you along.

I don't think I'll ever get used to or understand how people can say such hurtful and nasty things to other people.  I must still be a little naive, somehow.  I mean I know there is a lot of hate and mean people in the world, but I sure try to avoid any confrontation. 

I'm behind and catching up, but just wanted to say, yeah I feel the same way.  Had my own similar 'back to reality' experience a while ago, just because we all love Brokeback Mountain doesn't mean we can all get along... (or all be nice to each other, apparently), just like the world at large.

Yep.

He's real good.  His hero/idol was Maynard Ferguson.  He toured on the road with The Platters in the early '70's, did studio recordings with bands on several vinyl LP's, and was on a Grammy Award winning album in 1996, has played in many other groups.  Plus, he played lead trumpet for 20 years in US Navy Bands.  Now working all over central Florida.   8)   8)   8)  
How wonderful NavyVet!
Loved the pic  :)

Hee hee Louise - it is a long running drama isn't it? Want to see how all the various threads tie up, but at the same time I don't want the story to end.

This has been one hell of an emotional roller coaster of a trip, not much of a vacation really.

SPOILER

I'd forgotten that Bill's trial is coming up - now that is going to be stressful. No matter how comfortable Ellery is with his homosexuality having an ex lover on trial on juvenille porn charges is not going to be a walk in the park. You just know Bill's defence is going to try to slander Elery in some way. Oh, and then there's the Brad Sevigny case too.

And I'm dying to see what token Ellery has in mind for Ennis. And to see what Dupree has been up to.

Wow - it's gonna be busy!

I liked your last line there, reminded me of the weekly sign off on SOAP (the spoof soap opera from years ago - probably showing my age now).

Will Junior leave Curt and move to Laramie?
Will Ennis finally snap and roger Ellery so hard he leaves him in traction?
Will Louise have to keep writing the Laramie saga for the rest of her natural life?

Find out next time.... on The Laramie Saga!

This is my very favorite actor - David James Elliott.  He just joined the cast of Close To Home.  He's 6' 4", tall, dark and handsome.  Isn't he yummy?  I was just wondering if there are any future  LS characters age 40-45 that he could fit the description of.  Enjoy!
