A Neglected Boy "The Twins" XCIV
jacoblion@tutanota.com

   Summer passes so quickly and neither Kori or I know where the past three
weeks have gone.  The boys did get accustomed to the `nice lady' and
enjoyed each lesson.  Today is their last lesson and at break we thanked
her and she received a nice card and gift certificate from each of the
boys; that is all the boys except Kris.

   Kris, for some unknown reason became friends with the `nice lady' and
looked forward to the almost daily visits and lessons but, the days she
didn't show up he appeared a little depressed ...  I would have never
expected that.  Ethan and Keith didn't help with their comments at our
dinner conversations.

   Mid-morning, at the lesson break, the boys would gather for snacks and
drinks and of course to joke and mess around.  Kris spent his break time
close to our instructor, very close indeed.  I wonder what Keith and Ethan
would have said if they weren't working ...  I do know it would have
spelled trouble.

   One day about a week ago, during the break, Neil and Peter visited and
directed Kori's and my attention to Kris as he was enjoying a backrub and
message, I guess that's why he gave her a new `Giftwrapped Riding Crop';
all leather it was, instead of just a gift certificate. ... Hmmm, we
haven't seen Kori all morning.

   The lesson was finished and she never let up for a second.  I really
think she was brutal today but, despite that, they all had smiles.  I guess
the time and work was worth it as all the boys can jump a 3-foot double
cross like a professional.

   It was hugs for all the boys and Justin, Kyle, Lukas, Lars, and Antonio
even got a peck on the cheek.  Kris was standing next to her truck and last
to get a hug ... ... What? ... ... She put her left arm around his neck and
with her hand pulled him close and kissed him right on the lips, her right
hand slid to the front of his pants; ... I know what I saw, ... she
squeezed "it" and he didn't back away!

   I think Antonio was the only other person to see what I did, and his
reaction was interesting.  Antonio turned bright red and then looked
incredibly angry but he stayed in control.  We all waved as her truck
pulled away from the barn and out of sight.

   Keith and Ethan were just at the top of the upper pasture and then the
shouting began. ... ... "Hey, hurry up we're starving n you make the best
lunch." ... ... I could take their enthusiasm for wanting Ethan and Keith
to make lunch as a direct insult to my lunches but, I know it's because
they want some time with our older teens. (not because my lunches aren't as
good)

   I sometimes just have to laugh when Keith and Ethan walk through that
upper gate.  I seem to just disappear, completely forgotten as all the boys
nearly knock the two of them over with tackles and hugs and "what's for
lunch `jerks, numb nuts," or some other favorite endearment.  The usual
response from Ethan and Keith is that one or two of the brats ends up on a
shoulder having his nuts squished.

   The grand announcement is that for lunch today it's dried chicken livers
in olive oil ... ... YUK ... and then it's more teasing and really it's
grilled burgers n chips.  I sent Kyle to find Kori for lunch but Ethan said
. . . . "ummmm he's not here.  Peter got a call from Kori about 10:15 and I
think they went somewhere."..........

   ..........I looked at Ethan but Keith kinda gave me a signal to just let
it drop.  The kitchen and back porch were laughs and jokes about lessons
and things didn't seem to miss a beat, almost, that is until I felt Kyle's
hand in mine.  His face was sad and I bent down to tell him to smile when
he whispered . . . . "My `Dad' is really sad sometimes." . . . . he let go
of my hand and went in the house.

   It took a minute for me to realize what he said.  Kyle said ... "My Dad"
he didn't say other `Dad' as he and Justin always say.  Do the twins look
at Kori and I not as both `Dads' but that they see us as me as Justin's Dad
and Kori as Kyle's Dad?  I don't know how I feel about that.

   No one noticed Kyle was gone ... the grill was sizzling with burgers and
foolishness.  I began to help with the table then realized Justin was gone
too.  Twins, and I think it must be with most twins, can feel when
something isn't right with the other.  For Justin and Kyle if I pinch one
the other will say `ouch!'

   Ethan and Keith had plenty of help and I just slowly drifted away and
down to the rug-rats bedroom.  Justin was sitting next to his brother.  I
knocked gently on the door and started to walk in when Justin looked up and
said . . . . "It's Ok `Dad' we just need a little break, we'll be out in a
minute."

   Sometimes even though they're only 10 and 6 months it's better to just
let them work things out.  I really hate them getting older!

   I stepped onto the back porch just as the burgers were coming off the
grill.  Ethan's cell buzzed just as I was grabbing a plate then I was
handed the phone.  It was a text message, of course, teens don't actually
use a phone to talk and my cell lives on the kitchen counter next to the
most important coffee maker.

   I read the text .... "Ethan give this to Jake ... Jake, Kori is Ok and
with me call Neil ASAP, Peter." . . . . Just the text says Kori is not Ok
and it is also alarming and why is he with Peter?  I handed the cell back
to Ethan.  On the way to the den to call Neil I passed "The Twins" and both
were smiling so, I guess something is going in the right direction.

   I dialed Neil and could hear the ringing . . . . "Hi Jake" but the sound
of Neil's voice wasn't how Neil answers the phone or says Hi and then he
continued . . . . "Jake, Kori is here with Peter up in the guest room.  I
haven't seen him.  I got a `text message' from Peter saying he didn't want
to see anyone, not me, not you, and definitely not any of the
boys."..........

   ..........I was upset and asked . . . . Neil where have they been, do
you know and why doesn't he want to see anyone? . . . . Neil went on to say
... "Jake, as I understand from just a brief text from Peter that he and
Kori have been at Myrna's grave for a few hours, then they came here and
Peter has called Liam and he has already left Boston and, on the way,
here."

   Neil continued with something else I had no idea about . . . . "Jake,
did you know that Kori has someone that takes care of his mother's grave
site and flowers are delivered every Friday?" ... ... I did know the grave
was taken care of but, I had no idea he had flowers delivered every Friday.

   I asked Neil if he thought I should call Dr. Herriot.  Triston has been
a good friend for years, but Neil thought it might be best to wait till
Liam gets here.  With everything happening at his house he asked if I could
keep Lars and Lukas with me for the day or maybe two days until things get
better.

   I returned to the back porch and was handed a fresh burger.  Too many
questions about where have I been so, the burger came to my rescue.  With
my mouth full it was difficult to talk.  The afternoon became a work
afternoon with raking the large paddock with our small tractor dragging an
8-foot section of chain-link fence to smooth things out from jumping.

   Keeping busy prevented questions and Ethan and Keith had all the boys
excited with each of them taking turns driving the tractor.  It was around
and around the paddock dragging that chain-link section until the ground
was smooth.

   Only Kyle and Justin needed a little help because they can't steer and
reach the pedals at the same time.  ...  You just have to love Antonio and
Kris for their enthusiasm to help the rug-rats.  I think Justin and Kyle
not only had fun running the tractor but also how Antonio and Kris held
onto them with their arms wrapped tightly around the rug-rats waist.

   I wasn't born at noon yesterday and was very aware that Kyle and Justin
were encouraging Kris and Antonio to give them a little extra attention.
When the tractor turned at the far end and began heading toward me it was
so plain to see Antonio's hand right in the center of Kyles shorts.  Oh,
the smile on Kyle's face.

   It was Lars and Lukas turn and Lukas is tall enough to drive the tractor
by himself.  Neil and Peter have the same tractor and both Lars and Lukas
have no problem running it all over hell and creation down at their place
and all by themselves.

   Today, they needed help and I think Lukas nearly dragged Kris to the
tractor and pushed him up to the seat first.  Funny Kris wasn't trying to
get out of it and seemed quite happy to be of help. It was time for Lars to
have his turn and as Lukas stepped off the tractor, he needed to readjust
his shorts to a more comfortable position.  Must be the constant vibration
of our tractor.

   We reset all the jumps and then cleaned the barn and that led to a new
discovery. Bees! !  Right under the eaves on the northwest corner of the
barn those bees had built a very large nest.  I called Morgan asked for his
help and let him know about Kori.  To our great surprise and delight he had
a perfect cure and was on the way.

   Morgan arrived with a large CO2 fire extinguisher and now was the center
of attention.  Out in front of the barn the boys all gathered and Deputy
Morgan began to explain what we would do. I had to laugh because the this
was supposed to be about how to use the fire extinguisher and get the
beehive down.

   The problem ... ... it is very difficult to explain one thing when being
interrupted by Lars, Kyle, Justin, Lukas, Kris, and Antonio asking about
that gun and is it a 9mm or a 45.  Is that pepper spray, is it as strong as
bear spray?  Can he demonstrate how the handcuffs work and can they all try
putting the handcuffs on Ethan and Keith.

   It was my turn to make dinner.  Keith and Ethan offered to take over for
the night because they really enjoy making the dinner but, I just wanted a
break from all the hectic activities of the day.  Really, I just wanted to
be close to the phone and alone.

   We had a fresh 24-pound turkey delivered from the turkey farm yesterday
and I did have a plan.  Well, the plan was for some leftovers but as I'm
counting people the only thing left may be the bones.

  There will be our 5, me, and the 4 boys plus Antonio and Kris. Then Neil
asked for Lars and Lukas to stay then perhaps Liam, I hope, and Deputy
Morgan.  If Kori is better adding him along with Neil and Peter and that is
14 ... yep, just bones with those appetites.

     I had just placed the turkey in the oven when the phone began ringing
off the wall. ... I grabbed it quick thinking it was Liam only to find the
voice on the other end was the Maritime Insurance agent.  I explained that
Kori wasn't home and was not expected till late tomorrow or perhaps the
next day.

   The agent began to explain that with the weather having been calm this
past week they were able to locate Jabbering.  Good news or bad? ...
Nothing really would be good news ... however; they had found Jabbering and
with a remote operated unit found the cause of the gaping hole and
consequently the sinking of the sailboat.

   At this point I just wanted him to get to the point and stop his
rambling about tides, current, wave height, wind and wind direction,
shipping lanes and ships in the area.  Ships in the area?

   Those last 4 words caught my attention.  I listened as he continued
. . . . "Dr. Roberts it was indeed a very unfortunate accident that could
have ended much worse." ... ... OMG will he just Shut Up and get on with
it? ... ... he continued . . . . "Slightly to the west of Jabbering was a
small container ship. We have now concluded an investigation finding that
it was loaded top heavy."

   OMG please .... He continued . . . . "about 70 containers broke their
locking mechanisms and one filled with a type of foam drifted as it was
sinking and struck Jabbering causing that triangular hole.  There would
have been no way of saving the boat." ..........

   .......... "We did find the container within 400 ft of Jabbering on the
bottom.  The paint from Jabbering is on the upper left corner of that
container proving that it was the container that caused the damage.

   We have found the company at fault and the full value of Dr. Preydon's
yacht plus an additional $150,000 in damages will be awarded to him.  In
addition, there is to be a check for $30,000 to each person aboard at the
time as indicated in the Coast Guard report.  Please ask Dr. Preydon to
provide the address of each so we may issue that check immediately."

   With the call finished I called Neil to let him know so he could tell
Liam and minutes later Liam returned the call and it was so good to hear
him say . . . . "Dad, Neil just told me the news and I'm about to tell
Kori.  He is much better than when I arrived and this may be just what he
needs to hear."............

   ............Liam continued . . . . "Dad, since the storm Kori has been
keeping everything inside and what he sees in his mind is that he nearly
killed you and the boy's.  He is blaming himself for the misery and torture
suffered by everyone.........."

   "...........I see, as he has explained, that he has been pushing
everyone away as a punishment to himself and I think he's going to need
some ongoing professional help.  The other thing that has been eating at
him, and I think it has been for a number of years, is the guilt he feels
for not having understood what Myrna was going through.  He just doesn't
want to even try to understand that he was just a kid at the time. ...
Hey, Dad he just woke up ... I'll call in a while"

   Liam hung up and the backdoor burst open and Keith and Ethan have both
been stung by a few bees.  The bees were away from the hive when Deputy
Morgan hit the hive with the cold blast of CO2. Let's add a little to the
drama with four younger brats running around the backyard screaming as if
Leatherface from The Chainsaw Massacre was chasing them with a `bloody
chainsaw'.

   I told Keith and Ethan to put some cold water on it then some Apple
cider vinegar while I made a Baking soda paste to relieve the itch and
swelling.  Stomping through the backdoor came Kris and Antonio looking as
if they had rolled in dirt and announcing they were off to take a shower.

   Mention shower and the bee sting couldn't have been that bad because now
Ethan and Keith, with smirks, are off to join Antonio and Kris. ... ... Hey
! ! ... who let the dogs out? as they skidded through the kitchen; Keith
opened the backdoor as he and the other 3 bigguns were heading for the
master bath ... now it's screaming banshees and barking dogs and wildness
in the backyard, ... ... and here comes Morgan. (I wanted to have a little
quiet and alone time. It didn't happen)

   "Hey Jake, I got the beehive down ... wow, the kitchen smells good
... thanks for the invite for dinner" ... I smiled and told Morgan if he
wanted to freshen up to use the rug-rats bathroom because Kori's and my
bathroom are in use.

   Next thing I heard from our favorite Deputy was that when the 4 brats in
the backyard come in, they probably should have a shower too. ... hmmm, I
looked out at them and the dogs.  Yikes! ... head to toe everything was the
same color "dirt brown".  Well, I guess boys will be boys and as long as
they had fun all will be fine. After they've had a shower that is.

   Four teens now parading through the kitchen naked with towels over
shoulders ran right into Morgan. ... Oh, what a surprise!  Five people
standing in the center of the kitchen looking slightly in a state of shock.
Towels off shoulders and trying to wrap around waists ... must be Antonio
and Kris are at that awkward age because as many times as they tried to
pull the towel tight it would just fall to the floor.

   I was now having a good time.  At some time, no many times, we all have
been walking and come face to face with another person and had to do that
little dance where we step in the wrong direction then we try it again till
one person just stands still. ... haha ...  So here is Morgan, embarrassed,
facing 4 naked teens embarrassed and they're all doing the tango.  Boys
trying to get to the hall and Morgan trying to get to the
backdoor............

   ..............and here come 4 filthy dirty wild Indians and 2 wound up
Whippets wanting a drink ... traffic jam! ... ... I had forgot about
everything else and was just enjoying myself with this amusing situation.
I to laugh when Morgan `Commanded' ... Standstill! ... brilliant, just
brilliant.

   The phones ringing and I hear a truck rumbling.  Rug-rats and other
brats did an about face and along with Penny and Silence were out the
backdoor and in just seconds hollering from the steps of the back porch
. . . . "Dad, the Warden and trap is here."

   Ethan's shoving the phone at me, Morgan is just pushing the half-naked
teens out of the way and I'm hearing that Kori is feeling better and he,
Liam, Peter, and Neil will be up for dinner and they want to know what
time.  I told Liam 7 and did breathe a sigh of relief hearing that Kori
feels a little better but, don't really know what that means.

   You know if that backdoor slams one more time I'm gonna scream and I'm
saying that as 4 filthy, dirty brats come rushing in all talking at the
same time trying to explain about this big trap thing that has arrived to
get the bear. ... ... Not bad I got it.  Naked teens disappeared; hopefully
they will return dressed and help.

   Dirty brats all around the kitchen reaching for glasses and pouring
drinks ... no one bothered to wash their hands and here is Morgan and `The
Warden'. ... Oh, did I mention the `Warden'? the state Wildlife Officer
... I'll get to that in a bit................

   I remained calm and polite.  The state Wildlife Officer explained that
he wanted to get the trap set and should be finished about 7 and then he
would get a motel room and probably stop at Elmer's for dinner. ...  Morgan
wouldn't hear of that and said "we've" got plenty and what's one more
anyway? ... ... Gee, thanks Morgan.

   I think I was staring. ... I know I was staring, fortunately he extended
his hand and said . . . . "Hi, I'm Bret Wilson and this will be my third
job in the area to trap and relocate a bear." ... ... I think, by the smile
on Bret's face, he had caught me in a very definite stare and knew that I
had scanned him from head to toe.

   I woke up and mumbled something like ... Bret, how old are you anyway?
... ... He laughed and said he gets asked that all the time. He explained
he had just finished college in May and just turned 22 this past
week. ... ... Sure, I know he's telling the truth but 22 and looks like a
17-year-old.  Wavy blond hair and deep blue eyes. Ethan and Keith just
walked in and are standing at the archway from the kitchen to the hall and
living room.

   OMG ... ... Keith and Ethan are looking him up and down but, What?
... he's doing the same to them.  Hand shaking was a bit awkward.  I had to
break things up and ask Ethan and Keith to help get the 4 brats in and
straight to the shower.

   Ahhhh, next to arrive in the kitchen were the yummy boys Antonio and
Kris and now for reaction number 3.  They took one look at the `Wildlife
Officer' and I could hear their little brains and they had Bret undressed
in a nanosecond.  Dirty minds those two have.

   Bret must get plenty of that because he had the biggest smile and was
looking at the front of Antonio's shorts.  Who was undressing who this
time?  Bret turned just a little to look at Kris and the front of his
uniform shorts said he was liking what he was seeing. ...  I could read his
mind and he Kris, and Antonio were thinking the same thing.

   All this young `Wildlife Officer' had to say was that he needed to know
where the last sighting of the bear was and he along with a full crew of 2
rug-rats, 2 brats along and with the younger and older teens were off.  Oh,
you can be sure that Lars and Lukas were going to show Bret the exact spot.

   Well, the trap was set sooner than he had thought and he said it was a
perfect place and had baited it and wouldn't be surprised if the bear would
be caught in the morning.  Now with that accomplished Keith was first to
suggest some time in the jacuzzi.

   That idea was a firm Yes!  Ethan and Keith showed Bret where the
rug-rats shower was.  I thought Bret was old enough to shower by himself,
probably even had a course in college about it but, Keith and Ethan had to
stay with him till he was in and all soaped up.  Then they came and gave me
a little description.

   Ethan began . . . . "He's 5-foot-7, with dirty blond hair and deep blue
eyes, oh, really nice eyes.  He's thin n......." ... ...  Keith interrupted
. . . .  "Jake, he's like perfect.  Completely shaved, you know where I'm
talking about, n he's circumcised and it stands straight up when he's
hard." ... ... What?  did you say Keith?  And how do you know that?
... "Oh, we washed his back for him and I guess that kinda got him all
excited" ... Ethan said.

   I looked at Ethan and said I think it's best everyone have swimsuits on
for the jacuzzi so, if he doesn't have one please get him one of yours, to
which Keith said . . . . "Or one of mine might fit him better." ... ... How
thoughtful of you Keith.

   Then I told them he was staying the night but, they already knew that
and had decided he could either have their room or join them and Antonio
and Kris down in the music room.  I knew that would mean no sleep for any
of them. `I was jealous.'

   Keith, Ethan, Kris, and Antonio headed out to the porch to open the
jacuzzi and as Keith passed he whispered to me . . . . "Jake, you know how
you like what Kris has? well, Bret's not any bigger." Then I felt Keith
pinch my butt! ... ... Who's horny now?

   Morgan returned from his walk and checking the beehive situation to find
things all calm and dinner in its final stages.  The 2 rug-rats and the 2
brats that belong to Neil and Peter were in the rug-rats bedroom playing
ABZU and our `Wildlife Officer', Antonio, Kris, Keith, and Ethan were
shriveling up in the jacuzzi.  I could only wonder if everything was
shriveled up.

   "The phone!" and I nearly jumped out of my skin.  I was praying that
Liam wasn't going to say that Kori had turned for the worse.  It wasn't
Liam ... set another place at the table because on the other end was Henry,
Antonio's grandfather saying he'd be here in 20 minutes and asked if he
could stop at Elmer's and bring anything.

   I told the `Judge' a gallon of ice cream would be great.  He already
knew about everything, Antonio has a big mouth, he had called his
grandfather.  Things might work out and we can talk about the `Summer Camp'
and Neil and Peter's ideas.  I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Kori
will be much better.

   Henry arrived with the ice cream and 2 pies and Morgan introduced him to
Bret.  It was 6:30 and the teens and Bret all headed for Ethan and Keith's
room to change for dinner. Thankfully, Henry, Morgan and I had 5 minutes to
talk about what the Insurance agent had said and about what Kori has been
keeping locked up inside for so long.

   Kori and I learned some time ago the as big as our table is it just
doesn't fit everyone sometimes.  It was always run over to church or Morgan
would bring one.  We finally bought an 8-foot x 30-inch wood folding
banquet table just for occasions like this.

   The best part of having all the boys is they set everything up. Ethan
and Keith dragged the table in and in minutes with the help of Antonio,
Kris is was up and right along side of our kitchen table.

   Now with the additional help and distractions of Lars, Lukas and the
rug-rats a table cloth and all the plates, glasses, and cutlery and even
napkins.  Napkins are Justin and Kyles favorite part because they learned
how to make them look like a `bunny'.

   Last minute check and everything is looking good and Henry and Morgan
have rounded everyone up and pushed them to the back porch for a little
talk.

   I walked out the backdoor, closing it quietly not letting it slam, and
asked everyone to gather around.  Short and sweet and to the point I
explained that Kori, other `Dad', hasn't been feeling so great because of
all that happened a few weeks ago.

   I kind of looked at the younger boys and said it was best not to ask
questions and let Kori do the talking if he wants and please not to mention
Jabbering.  Now back in the house and fill the glasses.  I kinda think
Antonio's grandfather, Henry, and Morgan had already had a talk with the
boys.

   It was right at 7 when Liam, Kori, Peter, and Neil arrived.  I was so
happy to see Kori.  I couldn't help it a gave him a big hug and as I did I
heard him whisper . . . . "I love you so much." ... he whispered so softly
but it was the words; he said those words just like he used to say them
when he was 12.  I didn't cry there were just 2 or 3 tears that slipped out
but, they were happy ones.

   The turkey was cool enough to start carving and that is when Ethan
stepped up and I got and elbow and a smile.  Yes, I handed him the 11-inch
electric knife and let him go for it.  If anyone watched this kid carve a
turkey, they would think he would make a great surgeon.  He carved that
beast of a bird with precision.

   He sliced white and dark meat right to the bone and laid it on a platter
in a diamond design. ... ... The platter hit the table and it was applause
and he did take a bow.  Kori raised his glass and gave a `toast' to our
teen chef and Keith gave a slap to his behind. .... hmmm, that got some
laughs.

   Kori was smiling, and as the different side dishes were passed from
person to person it was he that started the conversation. . . . .

   . . . . "I want to thank everyone for their friendship, and love adults
and all the boys.  I've been having a difficult time since the storm.  It
hasn't been so much the loss of Jabbering but, the thought of losing those
I love so much.  This afternoon my brother, Liam, and I talked and I
realize that it still may take some time. ... Now let's eat I'm starving."

   I don't know Kori pulled that off but he did.  Dinner conversation
shifted quickly to the "Now Definite plans for a Summer Youth Camp"
... ... Ok, seems more has been going on about that than Kori and I were in
on.

   Neil and Peter had contacted Henry with some questions and Henry is now
part of the plans and operation of the camp.  Peter suggested to let Henry
explain where everything is at this point. Everyone was eating and forks
were going from plate to mouths as Henry began his explanation, he wasn't
standing or making it like a lecture it was just talk from the
table...............

   ............... "I think you all know that Neil and Peter bought the
acreage adjoining their property and the property that Jake, Kori, and
Ethan own.  I've done some ground work for them and have been in contact
with people at Yale, Brown, Harvard, and Boston University.  The very great
news is that they all are onboard with funds to support the program.  In
addition, they have all committed to providing all the staff we need."

     Wow, now that was impressive.  Neil was just about to speak when
someone's cell phone buzzed.  Kris hadn't put it on silence for dinner and
as he looked at it ... ... OMG ... ... he'll never live this
down. ... ... Kris was sitting between Antonio and Ethan and it was Ethan
that gasped and then started to slightly laugh while Antonio was furious.

   Apparently, Kris has been texting, or a little more, with `Raven' our
`Nice Lady' instructor.  Now she has suggested a trail ride and has sent a
photo of her friend `Layla' who she thinks will be a perfect date for
Antonio on the ride and perhaps a little more. Antonio was so fast and
snatched the cell phone which jumped right out of his hand and slid face up
on the table for all to see.......... and we did. ... ... OMG
....... that's some photo, yep ... it's quite a photo!

   It landed almost in front of Henry ... everyone was looking at Kris,
Antonio, and then Henry, whose eyes were wide-open looking at that 2.5 x
5-inch photo of Layla.  Justin and Kyle were almost on the table and the
others were trying to control their laughter.

   Kris was bright red then he started to laugh too.  Just one problem and
that was the Judge.  Henry's Antonio's grandfather but, he's also Kris's
father; don't try to explain that to the rug-rats. I guess things have been
great since Henry adopted Kris that is till tonight.

   Things went back to normal in just minutes but I am sure Henry and Kris
will have some things to talk about and I can bet Antonio will be in on
that conversation too.

  The boys including our `Wildlife Officer' all decided to go for a walk.
Now that was a blessing.  Kori was feeling better and looked quite relaxed.
He even had a smile.  Neil, Peter, Liam, Morgan, Henry and Kori joined me
on the back porch.  We talked about the summer camp and how it should be
designed to best work for abused and neglected boys.

   Henry was first to approach the topic of `gay' youth.  In fact, although
I'm sure it was on the minds of the rest of us, we hadn't really talked
about it.  We all sat back as Henry began . . .  . "You all know my
grandson is gay and Kris is his boyfriend.  None of you have come right out
to say anything about the rest of the boys but it is quite obvious that
Ethan and Keith, although not appearing to be gay, love each other and they
don't hide it."

   Henry continued, and he had our attention . . . . "It seems to me that
society just continues to neglect the issue of gay youth.  I want to be a
part of your idea of this summer camp but, I also want to make sure that it
will have a place or even a section of the camp devoted to helping gay boys
understand that they are loved and a part of this world just like anyone
else and that is why I have made sure that we have Liam onboard"

   A round of applause for the Judge.  It was my time to let everyone know
that Kori and I have decided that the best way we can help our boys will be
to return to New Haven and Yale during the week for school and spend as
much time here at the farm on long weekends and holidays as we can.  With
Lorenzo and Marco joining us for Christmas we think this will be the best
of both worlds for our kids.

   Everyone understood and we wrapped things up for the evening just as
that rowdy crew returned.  Kori was tired and excused himself and Liam
spent time with me in the kitchen and then thought that he would drive back
to Boston and call in the morning to check on Kori.  I think he should have
stayed.

   Bret, our new friend, decided to sleep in Ethan and Keith's room but,
thanked them for the offer to join them in the `music room'.  I think Ethan
and Keith were disappointed.  Bret may be back another time when things are
a little less hectic.  I think we can count on that happening.

   Neil, Peter, Lars, and Lukas headed back to their place and the house
began to settle down.  One problem.  Henry.  No problem, Justin and Kyle
figured that out in a minute.  With Lars and Lukas gone the rug-rats and
whippets will sleep with me and Kori and let Bret have their room and Henry
can have Ethan and Keith's room.  Well, that was a change and a great idea.

   So, now the arrangements are Ethan, Keith, Antonio, and Kris down in the
music room.  They will have a good night, I'm sure of that.  Bret will have
the rug-rats bedroom and be able to get some sleep.  Henry will have the
queen size bed in Ethan and Keith's room.  Kori and I get dogs and
rug-rats.  All is figured out and the house is quiet ... ... I'm tired!

   Our bedroom was quite a sight.  Kori was sound asleep.  Penny and
Silence were in the middle of the bed with Kyle on the side closest to Kori
and Justin on my side.  I hit the bed and was out like a light.  I barely
remember a little kiss form Justin but I do remember his warm breath on my
chest.  I love that boy!

   It was 2:30 and I guess the 3 glasses of wine said I needed to get up.
As usual I finished my pee and took a walk to check things.  I walked down
the hall toward the rug-rats room and could hear Henry snoring so loud that
I bet he woke Bret.  The door from the hall to the rug-rats bathroom was
open and I could hear sounds.

   I stepped into their bathroom and the door leading to their bedroom was
open. ... ... ... Wow, instant erection!  ... ...  Antonio was lying on
Justin's bed with his feet toward the pillow.  Over him was Bret in the 69
position.  I could see that Bret was sliding down on Antonio and by the
looks Antonio was sucking Bret's every inch.

   The curly blond boy was kneeling behind Bret.  Nothing fast just a very
slow relaxed rocking motion.  I think Bret was enjoying the very best of
Kris ... ... I don't know how long they had been in that position or how
long they continued after I shut their door and the hall door.

   Morning breakfast was fun with lots of giggles from everyone.  I will
have to say that 3 boys did look a little tired.
