Atonement
Our recently-acquired native American friend ‘Three Rivers’ seems slowly to be getting more relaxed. Having been punished for his homosexuality by his own community, and effectively banished, he’s still finding it hard to accept that ‘its OK to be gay’ … Continue reading

Leo Strikes a Deal

Growing Old is Mandatory – Growing Up is Optional
Thanks to ‘Uncle Carl’ for that heading idea! Today, a post on that theme – and no book advertising (promise…!)…. (Now that one is a great celebration of abs development, don’t you agree?) OK, we could argue he’s just enjoying training … Continue reading
