[MD] The MOQ and Death 2: The Quest for Immortality

[John Carl]

Peter Pan's psuedomom?

Good one, Marsha.

I think there was a book about that I read once.  Passed it on to a good
friend's girlfriend and it opened her eyes a bit too much for my friend's
comfort.

What a pair of peter pans grego and I were then!  My first wife didn't care
what I did, nor much for me at all. His wife loved him desperately, but HAD
kicked him out for his playboy ways... to be fair and tell his side, he
didn't fool around on her at all.  He was just always out fooling around,
climbing mountains, skiing, canoeing and enjoying a vigorous outdoor life
with the little woman at home taking care of the tots.

He didn't meet Monica till he'd been out on his own for a few years.

Wouldn't get a divorce tho.  Too catholic.  And besides, what's better than
having the best of both worlds?

Monica was a sweet little thing, pretty, dark-haired and quiet but a
watchful presence to her that noticed, out of the corner of your eye, the
right things, The secret little fun cues that life gives you and most people
don't see, but when you find someone who does, a secret recognition
develops. true friendship.

You might think I fell in love with my best friend's girl.  You'd be right.
Felt somewhat justified in that since he met her at the tail end of a
courtship with MY wife where I moved out and let him and her have a clear
path.  But then he missed me, and fell in with Monica, whom we both loved
and she was determined to be nobody's WMD - Wendy Moira Darlin'.

He got her tho.  He had a black irish charm, good looks and wicked grin,
cocky as hell and funny.  Plus he pretty much hooked her on that fairy dust
so prevalent in Tahoe in the 80's.

I got to the point where I had to stay away.  She might not have wanted be
thrust into any darling daughter role, but there are all kinds of ways of
being controlled and the chemical kind seems most pathetic to me.

As between you and me, Marsha, m'dear.  I only accused you of mommy
tendencies because you exhibit them.  I'm just calling it like I see it. And
congratulations.  I agree completely.  When moderation is needed, someone's
gotta say so.

I have the inclination and training to instinctively finish off an enemy
when Isee a chance.  Idon't want him getting up again and stabbing mein the
back.  And I mean, I didn't pick this war.  It picked me.  I never wanted it
to be this way, but sometimes we're stuck with the roles we play.

Freedom comes in how we play 'em.

And by the way, when I said I missed you?  i was just being nice.  I never
missed you.  I always felt you there, somewhere in my head.  To an idealist,
love is never having to say you were not there, since we carry each other in
our hearts always.


Yours,

John
