Another excerpt from Lover:
We met that evening between the same rose bushes as before and when her dad finally called her inside, Darla asked me to once again come to her bath the next Monday because she had something important to tell me. Being a bit dim witted in her presence, the possibilities of what she thought was important eluded me as her lips once more teasingly brushed mine.
As I moseyed toward home with sky rockets shooting between my ears, one profound probability of her meaning hit me like a mule kick, sending the light show inside my head to the farthest depths of unknown space; Darla was pregnant–I was going to be a papa!—–
A legal fight is now happening in New York City, testing the merits of the American Constitution and the fabric of our capitalistic society. Will the haves with their unlimited access to money win out or will We The People with our desire for fairness prevail? Under cover of darkness, armed soldiers of the ruling wealthy removed unarmed protestors and their belongings from NYC’s Zucotti Park. With openness and acting within the bounds of our Constitution, lawyers representing the protestors obtained an injunction allowing people free access to the park, along with their temporary housing and belongings.

Rainy dampness is saturating my bones today, and my joints have been hurting since yesterday. It is ludicrous to be able to predict the weather through pain; what the hell is the TV weatherman good for?

Have a Tuesday!

Your story is coming along very nicely. Lots of human interest. Nice to see how a young man's mind works. :)
I am afraid the occupy movement is going the same way, every where. They have had a tent gathering in Victoria and are being made to move, to accommodate the skating rink and other things that have been scheduled to be set up in the square... free for the use of 'the people'. This seems like bad planning on their part.
I'm liking the new story; it looks like it is going to be a long one.
In my little city, a downtown land owner is allowing the occupiers to use a vacant lot in a good location. You are right, the movement is very helter-skelter.
It is going to be a rough row to hoe, but the movement is already having positive results.
Thanks, Maggie.
