Hey, man. Thanks for the comments and vote. There’s a big thing going on in the UK about the seedy going’s on at A+F gatherings. It’s a cut-throat business and I remembered you being a model. I really hope you weren’t forced into any distressing stuff while you were up and coming. The music business is coming apart, Hollywood’s coming apart, everything’s such a mess now the truth is coming out everywhere!

It’s a very odd situation. Almost as if extremely well-known or wealthy sports and entertainment people (and definitely priests, who are routinely just moved about from one diocese to another when choir boys start to voice their concerns) are exempt from any kind of punishment. As if a totally different set of legal rules apply to them because they’re famous.

@DanGarrettAuthor   The same thing goes on everywhere, definitely in the fashion world, but I definitely had more s$x abuse in Catholic school from clergy than I did on Fifth Avenue.  Lots more. Hollywood is just getting too careless. When you get to the top with wealth, fame, or power, many find that there is nothing there. And that very often turns to criminal level depravity, as the news is filled with this week. Seems to be one of the prices to pay for Having It All.  When you know the real story about child abuse, especially, it is incredible to keep on hearing about in such abundance by peeps who are admired and looked up to by most of the population.  Looks like a lot of them will soon be facing a time of reckoning.

@TiagoPZK21 I follow readers randomly who follow other writers who write what I do. It's an amazing way to get reads, all in my short book about Getting Reads. Why put your stuff on hold? I'm constantly editing and rewriting, but I keep the books available to readers.

Hey, thanks for the follow (again). We have been friends for a long time but was wondering where you were the last few years. I hope you are getting better. I always enjoyed your stories and am looking forward to more

Hey, man. So happy to see you in my notifications, a d so sorry to hear you’ve been fighting the big C. Glad you’re over the worst of it. Can’t wait to dive back into the best stories on Watty! Did ‘Best Friends’ before I left, (that was SUCH s good story), so where shall I start this time?

@DanGarrettAuthor  It's been a real ordeal and I lost my interest in my Watty work. Struggling to get back into it. I have to complete Lost Island, about 5 more chapters, but there are some nice short stories you might like in Hunk Shots, especially Italian Boys in the Hood. I'm going over them and BF4N now updaating for the 18+ change. Somehow I missed that whole thing.  So wird that it's been years since we talked. Time is flying by!

@Mousewriter88  Thanks! I sure need them. Things are looking pretty good. I'm having more scans next week and then a talk with the docs. I might have to take a chemo med and I sure don't want to! Yuck. But I'm hoping that's not the case. But they did remove half my stomach and I've lost 30 pounds. So I look really fit, Stay healthy!
