Hey Folks, what a week! The first and most important thing I have to do is to thank everyone who read the story. I have to thank those of you who wrote to me afterwards even more. The number of e-mails I had gotten before lunchtime last Thursday was staggering. I continued getting them until... Crap I got another one this morning just before I posted the end...
I apologize for the slow writing of this chapter but I had the chance to follow my lovely wife to Hawaii for vacation. Therefore my writing had to wait. Further chapters will appear sooner. Thanks for all the editing advice I received and the constructive comments. Enjoy, JDC. Renewals and Disaster A new chapter and a renewed relationship with Mel began....

Just as a loud crack snapped the air and the wind driven rain began slamming leaves and debris against the window glass in disharmony with the boom of thunder. Then for a few moments, a hush fille...
There is no sex in this story. It's cold in Minnesota during the winter especially when you're used to the mild weather of Virginia. But it's even colder when you're sleepless and alone. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. God knows I've got it better than most and it's ridiculous for me to feel like this. Still, I do, and even though I'm keeping it togeth...

Author's note: The title and theme of this story come from a song by Joan Baez from around 1969 or 1970, about her relationship with Bob Dylan. ^ ^ ^ ^ It was late in the afternoon in late November, already getting dark on a cold, dreary day that promised snow later that night.
