There were what appeared to be about forty women in attendance at the party, all nicely dressed. I found out that about a third of them were the husba...ds or boy friends, who either had wanted to wear women's clothes on their own, or had been "gently pushed" to wear them by their wives and girl friends. Many of the men and women were Karen's customers. During the evening, Karen's friends, both male and female, came up and congratulated us. They all oohed and aahed when they saw my engagement. " "What about Jerry Clay?" "I think he's more like Amy and Mel. He's fun and interesting. You and I could both become friends with him." "Me?" "Why not. I've become friends with Amy and Mel. Michael, Jerry Clay isn't anymore interested in stealing me from you than Amy and Mel are interested in stealing you from me. If he lived here I could easily imagine a situation where the three of us went out for dinner." "The three of us?" "That's right, the three of us. We'd have dinner together and after. So what did I do? I enlisted in the Army. At least there my feet would be on dry land. Stuffing my hands into my pockets I turned and watched the nearest boat begin to pull up it’s nets. Yep, big difference that change made for me. In the Army you still struggled. Except there it was to stay alive. And as for the dry land part, well who knew I’d be walking in rice paddies along the Thai and Cambodian border at the end of the war. So much for being a kid and thinking you knew it all. My. But, I did leave the camera hooked up. Katie arrived pretty late. The poor kid looked beat. We put her stuff in the shed, got some food into her and wished her a good night. My wife usually went to bed early but had stayed up late to get Katie settled in. I was hoping for a little nookie, but the wife was too tired. It wasn’t the first time I wandered downstairs a little frustrated, quite a bit horny and not very sleepy. After making myself a drink, I settled in front of the tube but after.
