Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2016 23:41:38 -0400 From: Mike Loggerman Subject: Settling Down Settling Down By mike loggerman Chatterman36@aol.com As always please support Nifty... I am always on the road for work, and I'm always horny. I was on a road trip, it was late afternoon, and I saw a guy hitchhiking. He had long hair, and a beard, was shirtless, and wearing cut off jeans. He looked like he was in his 30s. I stopped the car, and he ran over and I asked how far he was going. He said he was going to a city 200 miles away. I said I was going through there, but I planned on stopping for the night. I said I could take him as far as I was going tonight, or if he wanted to spend the night, I could take him the rest of the way tomorrow. He was tired and sweaty, and said if it was no trouble, taking him tomorrow would be fine. As I drove, he said his name was Jerry. He had been out there for hours and apologized for being sweaty. I told him I liked his scent. He put the seat back and put his hands behind his head and let the air conditioning cool him down . He had very hairy armpits and they excited me. I told him to make himself comfortable, that I didn't mind. He undid his shorts and pulled them down, letting the cool air hit his sweaty white briefs. His dark pubes came out the sides. He thanked me and said this felt great. I told him the motel where I had reservations, had a single bed, but I'd try to change it if I could. He said he didn't mind sharing the bed if I didn't. I said I didn't mind. We arrived at the motel and I got the room. I ordered a pizza and we shared it. After dinner, Jerry lay on the bed in his briefs. He thanked me for all I did for him and asked if there was anything he could do for me. I told him he didn't have to do anything, but if he wanted, I'd love to feel him. He smiled and said he was all mine. I slid down his briefs and smelled them. His cock was big and hairy. He started to get hard as I stroked his cock and I sucked him. His cock was about eight inches. He watched as I deep throated him. He said it felt really good. I played with his balls and pubes as I sucked him. He said he was going to cum and I felt his cock throb on my tongue as he shot his load. I played with his hairy pits as he lay back. His cock was hard again. I asked if he wanted to fuck me. I lay back and pulled my legs up as he pressed his hard cock against my hole. He slid inside me easily and moved in and out of me slowly. I groaned as he pounded me and told him how much I loved feeling him inside me. He lasted a lot longer the second time and exploded inside me. I fell asleep against him. In the morning, he was hard, and I asked if he could fuck me again. He thrust his cock deep inside me and fucked me. I shot my load as he pounded me and he shot his load inside me. We showered and got dressed and got on our way. When I dropped him off, I thanked him. He said it was great and left. A few weeks later, I was on another road trip. I was driving through the Midwest. There were no hitchhikers on the road. It was getting dark and I stopped at a rest area. There were no other cars around. It had a urinal and a toilet, with no stall. I sat on the toilet and stroked slowly. A young black guy came in and stood at the urinal pissing. He said it was a nice night. I said it was. He had stopped pissing, and was stroking his cock. I spread my legs and stroked as I watched him. I said he had a really nice cock. He turned to me and said he needed someone to take care of it. I took it in my mouth and sucked him while he moaned softly. He said I was good at it. He asked if I liked it up my ass. I said yeah. I got up and leaned against the wall. He spit on his cock and held my hips as he thrust his cock deep inside me. He held me tightly as he moved in and out of me. He reached around and stroked my cock. I told him I was going to cum and he said he was too. I started to cum as he thrust his cock hard inside me and shot his load. He pulled up his shorts and left. I sat on the toilet and let his cum drip out of me. I got in my car and kept driving. I found a motel along the way. It was sort of run down, but I needed a place to sleep. The night clerk came out. He was an Indian guy, dark skinned and hairy arms, in his late 20s. He said he had one room left. I flirted with him as he checked me in. He offered to help me to my room and I accepted the offer. He put on the no vacancy sign and led me to the room. When we got in the room, he said the bed should be comfortable. I said it would be more comfortable if I had someone to share it with me. He smiled and asked what kind person I'd like to share it with. I looked into his eyes and said someone hard and hairy. He said he could help if I could handle a thick one. I said it would be my pleasure. We undressed quickly and I felt his hairy body. His thick eight inch cock seemed even bigger on his skinny, hairy frame. I licked his pits, sucked his balls and ate his ass. I sucked his cock while he fingered my ass. I got on my back and watched his thick dark cock press against my hole. He slowly pressed it inside me. I groaned as I felt his hairy body brush against mine. He kissed me as he pounded me. I played with his pits and nipples. He said he loved fucking me. I just groaned my appreciation. He started thrusting faster and thrust deep inside me as he shot his load. I sucked his cock clean. I hed him and we felt each other's bodies. He thanked me for sharing my body with him. I asked if he could stay and fuck me again. He said he had to open the office at 5am. I held him and we kissed. He started fingering my ass and his cock got hard. I moved on my stomach and lifted my ass. He slid his cock inside me and lay on top of me, kissing my neck as he moved in and out of me. It took a long time but he shot his hot cum in my ass. He kissed me and got dressed and left. He wasnt there in the morning and I left. A week later, I was on my way home from my trip, and I stopped at a motel with a lounge next door. It was after midnight and the place was dark and almost empty. I saw an Asian guy about 40, sitting by himself and asked if I could join him. We sat and talked over beers. He was traveling on business too. I commented that ot was lonely driving all day, and then being alone at night too. He said he wouldn't mind who he was with, just to not be alone. I suggested he spend the night with me. He looked interested and asked what we would do. I said I'd be his girlfriend for the night. He laughed and asked if I fuck on the first date. I said that all depends on him. I took him to my room, which was adjoining to his, so we unlocked the doors between them. We undressed and I felt his smooth body as I buried my face in his hairy crotch and sucked his cock. I lay on my back and he thrust his cock deep inside me. We both groaned as he pounded me. He kept thrusting and kissed me. I wrapped my legs around his as he pounded me harder. He shot his load inside me. He asked if I liked it. I told him I liked it a lot. We slept together, and had sex in the morning. He went his way and I went mine. A few weeks later I was flying crosscountry. The flight attendant was slightly chubby, with hairy arms. I was in the back row, and chatted with him during the times he was relaxing. I got up a few times and brushed against him. He asked where I was staying when I got to our destination. I mentioned the hotel where I was staying. He said he was staying at the same hotel. I said it was my first time in that city, and I'd be alone. I asked if he wanted to have dinner with me. He said he had a flight back in the morning and wouldn't mind the company. We agreed to meet in the hotel lobby at 4. It was a warm day, and he met me wearing shorts and a tank top. I had to keep from drooling. I told him I didn't realize that he was such a hairy guy. He blushed a bit, but I said I always wanted I'd be that hairy. He smiled and asked if I wanted to come to his room. I said I would love to. We got in his room and he asked what I liked about hairy guys. I said it seems so masculine. He took off his shirt and said I was welcome to feel him if I wanted. I took off my shirt and lay with him on the bed, feeling his hairy chest and armpits. I sucked his nipples while I pulled down his shorts. His cock was hard and thick. I sucked his cock while he pulled my shorts down. He sucked my cock and got on top of me, kissing me while I parted my legs. He pressed his hard cock against my hole as I wrapped my legs around his. I moaned as I felt his cock fill my ass. He thrust his cock deep inside me as I played with his pits. He kissed my neck as he pounded me. I groaned as I shot my load on my stomach. He kept pounding me and unloaded inside me. We lay in bed and he thanked me. I kissed him and said I loved it. We got dressed and went to the restaurant. After dinner, he came to my room, and we had a few drinks. We got undressed and made love. He had an early flight and left. A few weeks later, I was getting ready for a road trip when my neighbor asked me if I could drop her son Gary off at college which was on the way to where I was going. I really didnt want to do it, because it meant I couldn't mess around until after I dropped him off. Gary was a skinny nerd, but I said I would, and he put his stuff in the trunk, and we were on our way. He was wearing a tank top and shorts, and I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the road. His hairy legs and armpits kept me interested. When we had to make a rest room stop, I went with Gary and stood at the urinal next to him. He was hairy and hung. As we drove, I asked if he dates much at school. He said he does, but not how most people think of it. I asked what he meant. He said he hadn't told his mom yet, but he prefers men to women. I asked what he likes to do with men, and he said he likes to fuck them. I guess he was expecting me to be shocked, and when I didn't get shocked, he asked if I was okay with it. I started laughing. He asked what was funny. I told him I haven't told anyone, but I prefer men to women too. He looked shocked and asked what I liked to do with men. I told him I liked to get fucked. He got excited and said maybe we could fuck later. I said we definitely can. I stopped at a motel about 5pm. I took Gary to a burger restaurant and we got back to the room about 7. He took off his shirt and I licked his hairy pits and sucked his nipples. He took off my shirt and felt my hairy chest. He kissed me and slid his hand down the back of my shorts and fingered my ass. I slid down his shorts and sucked his thick seven inch cock and played with his balls. I slid off my shorts and lay back on the end of the bed. He thrust his cock deep inside me and slowly moved in and out of me. I groaned as he pounded me. At 19, he was almost half my age. I was 31. We both loved it. He said he was going to plant his seed inside me. He stroked my cock as he fucked me. I started to cum and my ass clamped around his cock and he shot his load inside me. He said it was great. I asked if he could cum again. He said all night. I said I could take it all night. He fucked me two more times that night and again in the morning. When I dropped him off at school, he asked if I could pick him up the next time he comes home. I gave him my number and told him to text me anytime he wants a ride. As I continued on my trip, I got horny thinking about my neighbor's son. I saw a sign on the highway for an adult video store. There were only a couple of cars in the parking lot. I went in, and sat on a couch in the theater. A moment later, a guy sat on the couch next to me and started rubbing my thigh. I spread my legs and enjoyed it. He slid off my shorts and sucked my cock. He stood up and let me take off his shorts. I sucked his cock and played with his big balls. I lay back on the couch and he thrust his cock inside me. He had long hair and a beard and his cock was deep inside me. I groaned. I was excited to be fucked by someone I couldn't even see. He groaned as he shot his load in me. He put on his pants and left. Another guy I hadn't noticed earlier, came over and ate the cum out of me. He was a black guy. I asked him to fuck me. He undid his pants and I sucked his cock. It was thick and hard. He slid his cock inside me and pounded my ass until he was completely inside me. I lay back and enjoyed him moving in and out of me. He moaned loudly as he shot his load inside me. He pulled up his pants and left. I waited around but no one else came in. A few minutes later, the guy at the register came in. He was a heavy black guy. I thought he was going to throw me out. He said he heard I liked being fucked. I said I did. He let his pants drop to the floor and rubbed his hard cock against my lips. I sucked his cock and he got between my legs and thrust his cock inside me. He pounded me hard and shot his load. He pulled up his pants and said he had to unlock the store. I stayed there a while, until a younger guy came in. He watched me as he stroked his cock. He asked if I wanted it. I said yeah and he thrust his cock in my ass. He didn't last long and shot his load. I was thinking of leaving but a guy came in and asked if I could handle a thick one. I said I could. He was very hairy and his cock was as thick as a soda can. He entered me slowly until he got all the way inside me. I groaned as he pounded my ass, and he shot a massive load. My ass was really sore and it didn't close completely. I got dressed and lefr. It was more than a week before I played with anyone else. People asked why I was walking funny. I said I pulled a muscle. On the way home from my trip, I stopped at a rest area. A guy in a tank top was standing at the urinal with his shorts around his ankles. His legs and ass were pretty hairy. I stood at the urinal next to his and dropped my shorts too. He was stroking. I reached around and felt his hairy ass. I whispered that I love his hairy body. He lifted his arm and I buried my face in his hairy armpit. I got on my knees and sucked his cock. He asked if I wanted to come to his place and do more. I said ok, and I followed him to a run down place about a mile from there. We got undressed and felt eachother all over. He was a little pudgy, and not good looking, but I liked his body hair and his cock. I sucked his tits. He reached around me and fingered my ass as he kissed me. He called me honey and said I needed to let "daddy" inside. I played along and asked if it would hurt. He said no. Daddy needs to show you how much he loves you. I lay on his bed and said show me daddy. He slid his hard cock inside me as I groaned. He kissed me as he continually thrust his cock inside me. He said I was hot. I said I loved him in me. I felt him unload in me. He said I could stay the night, but I told him I needed to get to where I was going. He was a little creepy, so I just left and was on my way. I stopped at another rest area, but no one was there. I kept driving and saw an adult video. I went in and paid the entry fee. They had several video rooms. I sat in a video room with a couch. No one else was there, so I got undressed and lay on the couch. A tall black guy came in and said hi. I started rubbing his cock through his pants. He undid his pants and pulled them down. I sucked his seven inch cock while I played with his balls and pubes. He fingered my ass as I sucked him. He said I like black cock. I said I like a hot man. He got between my legs and thrust his hard cock inside me. He tongue kissed me as he moved in and out of me. He said my ass was hotter than his wifes pussy. I said I loved giving him my pussy. He groaned as he shot his load in me. I sucked his cock clean and he left. Several guys walked around the different video rooms. I sucked several cocks, but they moved on. A guy came in and fondled me. It felt really good. When I didnt stop him, he got bolder. He sucked my cock and fingered my ass. I wanted to suck his cock but he wouldn't take it out. I told him to move on. About 2am, two guys came in and fondled me. They were speaking Spanish. They dropped their shorts and stroked their cocks hard. One rubbed his cock on my lips while the other fingered my ass. The guy fingering my ass got on his knees and slid his cock inside me while his friend thrust his big cock down my throat. He pounded my ass hard and unloaded in me. When he was done, his friend thrust his cock in my cum filled ass. He fucked me hard and shot his load in me, and they left. I squatted and a puddle of cum dripped out of me. As I was leaving, the clerk asked if I had a good time. I said I did. He was a chubby blond guy in his 40s. I said he must get a lot of action working there. He said not really. Not too many guys like chubs. I asked what he liked doing. He said he was a top. I told him I'd love him to fuck me. He locked the door and led me to a back room with a bed. We got undressed and he felt me all over. I felt his smooth chest and sucked his tits. He had a thick six inch cock. I sucked his cock while I felt his balls. I lay back and spread my legs. He got between my legs and thrust his hard cock inside me. He got sweaty as he pounded me and shot his load inside me. He thanked me as we dressed and I left. I parked in a rest area and slept. I drove most of the next day. I passed through a rural area. I saw a husky guy walking on the side of the road. I stopped and offered him a ride. He got in and seemed to enjoy the air conditioning. He said his car wasn't running so he had to walk everywhere. When I dropped him off, he invited me in for a cold drink. I said that was nice and went with him. His place was a shack. I said he must get lonely living out there by himself. He said sometimes he missed having someone to talk to. I said I'd miss having someone to touch. He said he missed that a lot. I asked when was the last time someone touched him in a special way. He said he couldn't remember. I rubbed my leg against his. He didn't pull away so I started rubbing his leg. He said it felt good. I moved up his thigh and felt his cock through his pants. He asked if I really wanted to do this. I said very much. He took off his pants. I felt his cock through his sweaty white briefs. His cock was hard. He helped me off with my pants and shirt. He took off his shirt and started to feel me. He rubbed his body against mine and said it felt good. I sucked his nipples and said he was hot. I slid his briefs off and sniffed them. I got between his legs and sucked his cock while I felt his pubes. He asked what he could do for me. I asked him to fuck me. He lifted my legs and he thrust his hard cock inside me. He rubbed his body against mine as he fucked me. He moaned and shot quickly. He apologized for cumming so fast, but I said it was ok. He thanked me and asked if I could stay the night, so I agreed. I stayed naked and enjoyed him feeling and touching me. I told him I'd really like him to fuck me again. He slid his cock inside me and slowly pounded me. He asked what I liked about being fucked. I told him it excited me to have the most private part of a man inside me. He said he really liked being inside me. He continued to pound me and I kissed him as he fucked me. I felt him explode in me. He smiled and asked ifI really liked his cock in me. I said I did. He said if I was a girl, he'd marry me. I told him to just think of me as a friend who likes him to fuck me. He said I was a good friend. The next morning he fucked me again and I was on my way. I stopped for the night at a motel, and put an ad in an online sex listing. A teacher was in his office and said he could use a diversion. I told him where I was staying and he came over. His hair was silver and his body was smooth. We got undressed and we felt each other. His cock was hard and dripping. He had me lay on my stomach and spread my cheeks and thrust his hard cock inside me. He said I had a nice ass as he pounded me and shot his load in me and left. A half hour later, a young black guy said he was horny. I gave him the address and he came by. He had a big hairy cock. I sucked him and got on my back. He thrust his cock deep inside me and pounded me slowly. He shot his load in me and left. I was watching TV when I got an email from a guy who read my ad. He said he was hairy and horny. I told him to come by. He was a skinny guy, about 30, with a long brown beard. He got undressed and lay on the bed. I lay beside him and ran my fingers through his hairy pits. I sucked his nipples and worked my way down to his hairy cock and sucked his balls. I asked him to turn over and felt his hairy cheeks. I parted them and ate his hole. His cock was hard and dripping. I lay back and spread my legs and pulled them up. He got between my legs and thrust his hard cock inside me. I loved feeling him deep in me and moaned in pleasure as he repeatedly pounded me. He asked where I'd like him to cum, and i said inside me. He kept pounding until he shot his load deep in me. He quickly dressed and left. Three days later I was driving home. It was late at night. I stopped at a rest area, and sat on the toilet. I heard a truck pull in to the parking lot. A short, skinny guy walked in wearing a tank top and shorts. He had very hairy legs and armpits. I watched as he pissed. He started to stroke his cock. It was long and thick. He said he wished his girlfriend was here. I said I would be willing to help if he wanted. He asked if I wanted to come to his truck. I followed him and we got undressed in his sleeping compartment. He lay back and I felt his hairy chest and thighs. He turned over and I felt his hairy cheeks and parted them. I ate his ass and sucked his balls. He turned over and I sucked his cock. He asked where I wanted him to cum. I said in my ass. I got on my back and pulled my legs up. He slid his cock deep inside me and started thrusting. He said it felt good. I said I loved him fucking me. He pounded me harder and said he loved my tight pussy. I was covered with his sweat. He thrust his cock deep inside me as he shot his load. He kept his cock in my ass until he got soft. I offered to stay if he wanted to fuck me again. We slept a few hours. He woke me and thrust his hard cock inside me. He pounded me hard and shot his load in me. He said it was great but he had to get going. I was off the road for a few weeks when I got a text message from Gary, my neighbor's son. He was going to be off from school for a few days, and asked if I was going to be in the area. I wasn't, but told him I was. I drove up to the school and got a motel room. I picked him up and took him to the motel. I loved his slender body and his big hairy cock. He was a nerd, and I loved being with nerds. We got undressed and I licked his pits. He bent over and I ate his hairy ass and sucked his balls. I sucked his musky cock while he fingered my ass. He got between my legs and thrust his hard cock inside me. He said he missed me as he moved in and out of me. I lay back as he pounded my ass. He played with my nipples as he thrust his cock deep inside me. My cock was leaking and I told him I was going to cum. He thrust hard and fast, and I shot my load. He tasted my cum and thrust deep as he filled my ass with his cum. We lay in bed panting. He said he was really horny and was going to fuck me a lot. I told him thats why I was there. We enjoyed fucking all weekend, and our mutual attraction was evident. We lay in bed holding each other. Gary asked if I minded that he was almost half my age. I said it was strange, but he was actually the only guy I had sex with that I actually knew, and it was very attractive to me. I asked if the age difference bothered him. He said he never knew his dad, but felt like he was fucking his dad when he was inside me. I asked if that was a good thing. He said it was a great thing. It made him feel closer to me. I told him thats how I feel. He got behind me and held me affectionately as he slid his cock inside me. A closeness was developing that went far beyond body contact. When I got home, Gary was all I could think about. He texted me and said he missed me. I started planning more trips that brought me near his school. I was able to be there the next two weekends, and Gary spent all his time with me. I stopped cruising for other guys, because nothing felt as good as being fucked by Gary. I told him I was thinking of moving near the school so we could be together more. He said he was thinking about leaving school for the same reason. I told him I could do my job from anywhere. He kissed me and asked if I would really do that for him. I said no one makes me feel the way he does. Gary said when he fucks me, he feels complete. We found a nice place near campus, reasonable rent, and quiet neighborhood. I put down a deposit and went home to pack. I gave notice that I was moving out. Gary got a ride home and helped me pack up the trailer. While he was there, he came out to his mom. She said she wasn't surprised, but was surprised that he was moving in with me at the end of the semester. I told her I wouldn't charge rent as long as he stayed in school. She nodded, and asked if I knew Gary was gay. I have always been quiet about my preferences, and Gary said he told me and I didn't care. She said it was ok, and thanked me for my generosity. Gary helped me move in and unpack. We were tired and sweaty when we were done, and we showered and collapsed in our bed. I had to go on a trip, so he went back to school the next day. With Gary at home, my trips were shorter. I did my work and went home. He came over on Friday night, and stayed until Sunday evening. He cooked for me, and helped me continue to get the place in order. A week later, his semester would be over, and he was moving in with me. I didn't see him all week because he had to study for final exams. While he was in school, I got a call from his mom, saying she was coming up and wanted to talk with me. I made a nice dinner, and she arrived on Wednesday evening. I knew she was upset, because she had to take off from work. I showed her around the apartment, and the room that would be Gary's. Actually, he was going to sleep with me. His room was more for show, and study. We had a great meal, and she liked the apartment. She told me she always knew her son was gay, and she loved him anyway. She said she suspected he was in love with me, and wanted to make sure he wouldn't be hurt. It took me back, because I always thought I did a good job of concealing my personal life. Before I could say anything, she said most of the neighbors knew I was gay, but I was a good neighbor and they didn't care. She said she didn't want her son hurt. I told her I had never had the feelings I have for Gary, and I think I love him. I was afraid she would be upset so I didn't want to say anything. She said as long as I was serious, and not using him or leading him on, she would be okay with it. I figured at least we wouldn't have to do a charade about two rooms. I told her this was new for me, but I would never hurt Gary. She hugged me, and was going to leave, but it was dark. I suggested she sleep in Gary's room. She stayed the night, and left in the morning. Gary was done with exams on Thursday night. I drove up to the campus, and he had his things boxed up. We did it in two trips. When we finished unloading, he went into the spare room, and saw a gift from his mom on the bed. He smiled as we moved his school things into the "study." We were both pretty sweaty, and took advantage of it by having some grungy sex. I sniffed and licked his sweaty pits. He ate my ass and fucked me on the couch. I loved his scent, and we groaned together as he slid in and out of me. We didn't realize it until afterward, but the curtains weren't closed. We hoped no one noticed. About 8pm that evening, we were finishing dinner, and we had a knock at the door. Two guys were standing there with a plant, and welcomed us to the neighborhood. I was thinking this was so 1950's, but we let them in. They were obviously gay, but not flaming. They said they saw us this afternoon. We both blushed. Joey, the more outspoken of the two said not to worry. It was great to see. He said they were both stroking as they watched. Gary said that wasn't even one of our better performances. I was horrified, then burst out laughing. Ronnie, the more quiet one, said they were just glad to have another gay couple in the complex. He said they just don't like being the "only ones." I said we felt the same way. We were happy to make new friends, especially with something in common. As the summer progressed, we got together for cook outs and movie nights with Joey and Ronnie. We got to be good friends. We found out they had lived together for 5 years, and recently got married. We loved having them as friends, but we kept our drapes closed. Living with Gary was more than a sexual arrangement. The sex was amazing and just kept getting better. We found that we grew in affection and companionship as well. I loved spending time with Gary, and when he wasn't around, I hungered for him. Once we were cuddling on the sofa watching TV, and he slid his hand under my shirt and started playing with my nipples. He took my shirt off and played with my armpits. He had his shirt off and I licked his pits and sucked his nipples. He kissed me hard and passionately as he slid off my shorts. He stroked my cock as we kissed. He whispered that he loved me and asked what he could do for me. I told him I needed a skinny nerd with a big cock to fuck me. He kissed me harder as he thrust his big cock deep inside me. I wrapped my legs around him and saidI was the luckiest guy in the world to have him. He said he loved me and loved fucking me. We clung to eachother as he pounded me. I ahot my load as he shot his inside me. He kept kissing me and saidhe wanted to fuck me always. While he was off from school, Gary came with me on my trips. When he was in school, I traveled alone, and couldnt wait to get back with him. Gary's mom visited us over Christmas, and stayed in the study. Joey and Ronnie came over for Christmas dinner, and we exchanged gifts and had a good time. Several years passed, and Gary graduated from school and got a good job offer. He took the job and we stayed in our apartment, but talked about buying a townhouse. Gary had become the initiator in our relationship, and I was happy with that. It was complicated, but he was the man, and I was both the woman, and his dad at the same time. He said we should buy the townhouse, and we should get married. I never bought a house because I never had anyone permanent in my life. Now I did. Also, I was paying all the bills. Now Gary was working too. Ronnie and Joey helped us plan our wedding. It was a small affair, just some of our friends from school and work, Joey and Ronnie, and Mom. A week later, we bought the townhouse. I had finally settled down, and I was content.
