Also, I told him he might have missed out on a career as like an escort and then he told me about the two months as a drunk he DID that. This led to excited questioning on my part like "How much did you charge? Was it horrible? Did some woman try to buy you outright?"

Back in the day, I slept with a woman who worked for the phone company to get my children's phone number. Seriously, she gave it to me on a piece of paper after I got dressed to leave. We all do what we have to...

Whilst preparing this link for @ENAUD to salivate over, I noticed this link on the same page, both interesting, (for me).
That gravel trail sounds amazing, I do like riding on gravel, ,only a couple places local to do so. There is a rail trail that has 7.5 miles of un paved surface that I ride occasionally, very scenic, just gotta watch out for the horse droppings!

I used to be able to get cheese curds back when I lived up north in New Hampshire, but the FDA pulled that product from the market because they were a non-pasturized product...that was over a decade ago, but those cheddar curds made the best Poutine...

I just learned not long ago that Geddy's parents are holocaust survivors. Both his mom and dad were in concentration camps. That's how they met. Then his dad was sent off to (I believe it was Auschwitz) and they were separated for some time. It was by chance they found each other after they were liberated. They eventually married.

I watched a couple of interviews with him where he discusses this. One, in particular, was something I found riveting. It was a Canadian radio show. I believe the host was female, and sat on the left (in studio). He was on the right. He got very serious at points of the interview, and I think it lasted a good 20 or 30 minutes (at least).

Is that the one you saw? If so, good stuff.

I believe so. I think I saw two interviews with him where he was asked about his parents. Anyone who was liberated from a concentration camp is not only fortunate but rare. That his parents were able to find one another after the war was by small chance as well. That Geddy was born was quite remote under these circumstances. I believe he said they wrote only two songs about the holocaust. Red Sector A and I forget the other one. I kind of figured RSA was about the holocaust but never connected it with his parents. He's not exactly the most forthcoming person.

One of my faves, thanks. Chills every time.

6-8 K a month (he may have been exaggerating IDK). He said it was horrible and he thought some people who did that were possessed. He said it made things, uh, "utilitarian" or something.

He's mine. He's retired. I guess I bought him.

No, I did not pay for our first encounter, LOL.

Oh, I'm done. Just you know, hate to leave a tale half told. LOL. I hate to leave a tale even MICROSCOPICALLY untold. I'm detail oriented.

That's bad for writing though like imagine if you included everything your protagonist's day, including each and every bathroom trip, what they were thinking etc!

And OMG DRAGON! I am completely caught up from last month! Current as to TODAY. Apart for the ones I missed (I sort of have a system for that now) or the ones I messed up (yea no system for that.)

Thankfully you've been married long enough that you won't have to anticipate a surprise visit from his past with a baby in tow. Probably no obligatory STD calls coming in either!

But....it ain't over till it's over.
