)Returning from an arduous week feeling sorry for myself and licking old wounds, I became aware of a van keeping pace with me on my left. Something ca...ght my eye; when I looked over, a woman kneeling on the passenger seat to face me raised her top to display a lovely pair of breasts in a very small bra. I laughed till there were tears in my eyes for the next couple of miles. Later she climbed into the back over several companions and busied herself in the stern. When she returned to her seat,. I worked evening shifts and bars were closed or about to close when I would get off work so I saw no point in even trying to waste my time going there. But I had started going to an adult bookstore that was open 24/7. Long story short I was there almost every night and I had my first experience of sucking a cock and getting my cock sucked by a guy there. I had started getting into wearing pantyhose or stockings under my clothes when I would go as well. Though I wasn't with guys really that much. Nothing official or set in stone, but if shit went down Josh was always the first one to stand up and the kind of guy who would go the extra yard for you."Lumber probably," he said in that drawl of his, "Working for the old man until the old man ain't working anymore. From then on I'll be my own boss. Harry here has the right idea. Get a trade, a profession under your belt. Do something that folks will always need. With him, it's the electric. With me, it's lumber."The rest of us sat there. It is not cold. The air is rather warm and humid; it smells of olives, thyme and rosemary. It reminds me of a holiday I spent on a Greek island a long, long time ago.I look up and see that the cypress-lined lane ends in a large circular clearing. At the perimeter of the clearing are low white marble benches, each bench separated from the next by a white marble statue. There's a statue of a man, a warrior, on an armored horse. There's a statue of a satyr, that looks mischievous on his goat legs.
