this however does not ... really clear up Dupree's ambiguity problems.  A girlfriend half a country away?

Hey gang,

Do any of you have a Word-compiled document of "A Second Chance" by any ...chance?  I have "Taking Chances", "Looking for Answers", and the first section of "Shelter From the Storm" but not the third book.  If so could you ship it to me at [email protected] ?

I have an offline reader who is greedily devouring the Saga in large, watermelon size chunks.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

That might be me?  O0  But I'm not that greedy & am probably the only person on earth who doesn't like watermelon!

SPOILER...














It was suggested that I try to find some of those compromising photos of Amos Marigold for the gallery...I did a quick search and folks...I don't want to go there. I think I'll pass on this assignment, if it is okay with you. LOL

further spoilers ahead:


Thank you so much, Leslie, for your restraint.  :)

If someone really does find pictures to represent Amos in undies, some of us would appreciate a new warning category: Nausea Alert.

Peace be with y'all,

         *** Spoiler Alert ***













In chapter 39 I believe we have a major personal growth moment for Ennis:

“Just fine, Ellery. An I am just thrilled yer givin me the bartender job!” Lauren threw his arms around Ellery, who staggered back from his enthusiasm. Unlike Ennis’s usual scowl when someone showed Ellery affection, he grinned broadly.

Ennis knows, respects, and trusts Lauren. Having Simon present and obviously comfortable, and developing deeper trust for the strong relationship he has with Ellery,
Ennis is able to accept friendship with another gay couple. This looks to me like a big step toward our Ennis's feeling more comfortable in his own skin.
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

You are some psychologist, Louise.  I think you are on to something and I won't say what, cause I am a very poor prognosticator and have a poor imagination.  But I can sure enjoy yours.
What's wrong with a few pics of Amos cross dressing?  Women do it all the time and the Romans sure wore dresses.  What a macho, silly culture we live in!

Marginally related to E&E.

Leslie, when are you leaving for London and meet Louise?  I know you mentioned the date, but it’s buried somewhere in E&E thread.

If I could find something that was remotely enjoyable to look at then fine....but snapshots of home-grown Rocky Horror Picture Show parties (which is all I kept coming up with...) believe me scudder, you don't want to see these people. LOL
