Have You Been Double Crossed Today?

Spend a night in the box

I love a woman by the name of Jenifer.

Jenifer has four children. She was in a marriage that was not working, and she had nowhere to go. This is not news.

Jenifer was invited to live under her eldest brother’s roof. What soon became apparent was that her eldest brother had a lot of the same problems she had left behind in her failed marriage. The brother asked her and her children to leave. This is not news.

Jenifer needed a home for her four children and herself. It rains in Portland, Oregon. A lot. Living on the street with four children is not an ideal alternative. This is not news.

Jenifer found a home for herself and her four children. She is moving in on Wednesday, the 18th of November. She will be living in her own home, with her own rules, and with her four children. This is news.

There will be no more punks cracking the whip making her and her four children dance to their sadistic threats of violence, and their humiliations.

She tells me she will be living with the man she loves.

And now this story has come full circle.

Cool Hand Luke was one of my mom's favorite movies and, you know, I don't recall that I've ever seen it in it's entirety.

We should watch it sometime.

Dr Zen's comment is among the cleverest I have seen in blahg comments this year. Maybe longer.

Depends on whether Dr Zen was commenting on you and Jen or on Cool Hand Luke … I'm sure your ending will be much happier than Luke's! All my best to all of you!
