I am not aware when a car pulls in beside me. The driver gets out and looks around. I slide down in my seat, not wanting to make eye contact. The guy ...is five years older than me, maybe thirty-two or thirty-three. He looks to be strong and athletic, about ten pounds past his prime. He is looking down at the ground as he scurries across the street. I laugh to myself. Married? Father of small children? Well known in town? A pillar of society? Which one buddy? This guy clearly does not want to be. . I was something of a goth, and an outsider... But now I'm living on my own in New York, just a short distance from the city. I have a good job as a Technical Consultant's Assistant for a Technical Assembly Plant in the Big Apple, and my self-confidence and self-image have greatly improved.

Whatever you did afew months ago really worked and I?ve been more involved with her and more dominant than ever before, however the wheels really just fell off yesterday. What do you suggest???Well, it?s pretty late, Jim. If you don?t think all this can wait till morning, send her over to my place now. What is your take on the timing of all this???I?m pretty upset with her and.
