The Gathering Place

Hi all! I wrote a little story about No Tears at the Gathering Place and there was a sap there named Calvin crying in his beer. I would like to invite you for a friendly visit to The Gathering Place. Please come with made up friends or real. Caveat: mention Calvin in some capacity. Have fun!

Original Calvin is here

Thank you for your kind comment. I was unsure about entering the fray, but decided to anyway. Everyone seemed to have so much fun with it.

You're welcome. I had similar concerns but I thought I had a story that would be entertaining.

You had one heck of a story. I enjoyed it every much. It was one one of the coolest qua ruthlessness. Poor Calvin, he never had it so bad.

Nice one Irene. Good to see Calvin getting about and embarassing himself globally!

Wow! What a great job you did! So many good things here "Kiss me I am an American", etc... Glad you gave it a go!

It turned out to be fun doing this, Olive. I just had to warm up to the idea a little bit at first and overcome a bit of shyness. Now I hope we do more of these things, as they are great writing exercises. Thanks for starting this.

That's the teacher in her, she can always get the ball rolling can't she?:)

I want to say, I hope she gets many balls rolling, but somehow that doesn't sound right. At least, it's not quite what I mean, but I am wondering about which ball she gets rolling next, or if it should be one of us who gets a ball rolling? Isn't there a bit of prosaic poetry around that needs answering? I must have a look at that. How about you, Roberta?

Nice Calvin-piece, Irene. I like the dubious nature of the narrator... that's one of my favorite ploys--the unreliable, or unexpected voice of narration. Well done. By the way, if there ever were a tee-shirt about "kiss me I'm an American" it would be made in some mill in Mexico, printed in Sri Lanka, and sold by a Jamaican street vendor. -Dude

Thanks Dude, you're most than likely right about the T-shirt, although I wonder if any American would be caught alive wearing it. Since my daughter is an American, and I lived there for 22 years, I feel that I can say that.

You could wear a T-shirt that said "Kiss me, I'm from San Francisco." Although anybody could kiss you then. Green frogs could kiss you and turn into queens, no pun intended, although...

Oh, that's cool. About time Calvin had a happy ending.
