//Never knew I had *this* many boxes of stuff from the 70's. 
Jeez, did I keep everything?  What's this?  Hum, jeans, bell - 
bottom jeans, size 6. Pfpfftt, I haven't been a size 6 since, 
well, since I bought these jeans.  Oh, cool! Here's my Archie 
Bunker for President T-shirt!!!  Wonder if he and Newt-boy will 
be on the ticket in 2000?  Ah, the famous break your ankle or 
conk your head platforms.  Three inch platforms and 6 inches on 
the heels.  No wonder I used to suffer from nosebleeds.  Guess 
it's not in this box. OK, try this one.//

//What's this?  My macrame plant holder!!  And (ahchoo!) so, 
here's where all the incense went.  Oh, I didn't realize I still 
had this.  Joseph Alan Edwards MIA May 27, 1969.  I don't know if 
you ever made it home.  You know, I named my son after you.  His 
middle name anyway.  I let the ex think it was for his best 
friend, but it was really for you.  I wanted some part of you to 
stick around.//

<knock knock>

"Oh, hi!  I'm your new neighbor!  Name's McVey,  Come on in.  Sit 
down.  Just scooch that stuff off the chair.  You want some tea?  
I have a wonderful vanilla/almond blend a good friend gave me.  
It's great with honey and ginger cookies."

"What?  You want to know about me?  Well, I spend most of my time 
across town at 852 Prospect.  Gotta love that buff cop with the 5 
heightened senses and the gorgeous anthropologist.  No, he's 
*not* dead, he's just damp.  He'll dry out hopefully this coming 
fall or in January.  I write some gen, some slash.  I just love 
guys who do guys!  I team write with Owlet, too.  We do a lot of 
angst, <snicker> we left poor ole Jim with a gun to his head for 
months!  And then of course we have our infamous "......And Sex" 
stories where we take innocent, everyday items like white socks, 
saran wrap, and Tobasco Sauce (oops, wasn't supposed to mention 
that one.  We don't have it written yet.) and make them into um, 
sex toys.  Oh, do we have fun!"

"Oh, do you have to go so soon?  Hey, before you leave can you 
answer a few questions?  Like is this a discussion only list?  Or 
can we post fiction, too? How about off topic stuff?  You know, 
this list looks great!  I think I'm going to have a lot of fun.  
I'm already enjoying the thread of Starsky's attitude.  I think 
that's the way we danced in the 70's.  Innuendoes, glances and 
smirks were just part of the mating scene."

"Come back when you can stay longer.  The door is always open!  
Bye!!"

<mutter, mutter>

//Now, just *where* did that 74 Candy Apple Red Gran Torino go?//
