June 5, 1989, Chicago, Illinois

“How was your day exploring?” I asked Abbie when everyone sat down to dinner.

“Chicago is not New York, that’s for sure.”

“Did you find anyone to hang out with?”

“I talked to a couple of people and I’m going to a dance club tonight to check it out.”

“Take a cab home, please,” I said. “I’ll cover the cost.”

“Why?”

“The L runs through some very rough neighborhoods between the Loop and Hyde Park and it’s a longish walk from the L here. Buses don’t run late at night.”

“That’s good advice,” Katy said.

Katy and Abbie had met at breakfast and seemed to have hit it off, according to Veronica. Abbie had gone into the city with Katy and then met her after work to come home.

“Is your dad not joining us?” Elyse asked.

“He took Stephanie and Jorge out to dinner tonight,” I said. “He told me that he was going to do that right before he left the office. Stephanie didn’t want to go, but Jorge talked her into it. I think that was a very good thing. He’ll be here for dinner tomorrow.”

“Dada?” Matthew said from his high chair.

“Yes, Matthew?”

“Abbie has black lips!”

“Yes, she does. It’s just lipstick like Aunt Kara wears when she dresses up. Aunt Kara just uses pink or sometimes red.”

“Mama has pink lips!”

“Your mom and Aunt Jessica don’t usually wear makeup. Aunt Kara has pink lips right now.”

“Can I have makeup?”

The entire table erupted into laughter.

“Day two and you already have a convert!” Veronica laughed.

“That’s up to your mom,” I said, chuckling.

Elyse shot me a look that was a mix of mirth and daggers.

“Matthew, if your mom says ‘yes’, I could help you,” Abbie said.

“I can see I’m being ganged-up on!” Elyse said. “Matthew, you can try it on, but you have to wash your face before bed.”

“Goody!” he grinned.

“We do have to get pictures!” I said.

“Blackmail?” Jessica asked, sotto voce.

“What else?” I chuckled.

After dinner, Abbie took Matthew down to her room. Fifteen minutes later they were back, and the great room erupted into gales of laughter. Abbie had turned Matthew into a mini-goth, using one of her black camisoles as a makeshift dress. He had black lipstick, black eyeliner, black eyeshadow, and mascara. The only thing ‘off’ was that his hair was still blonde, but that couldn’t be helped unless Abbie had theatrical dye.

“Get your camera, Steve,” Elyse said, holding her stomach as she laughed.

I went up to my room and got both cameras - the Polaroid and my regular Nikon SLR. I wasn’t a professional photographer by any means, but photos of the kids were very important to me and the girls, so I’d invested a bit in photographic equipment, with some input from Zeke.

I took pictures of Matthew with Abbie and with his mom, and some of him alone. He loved the attention and was really hamming it up. Just as we were finishing, Jennifer, Josie, and Jesse came into the house.

“Matthew!” Jesse shrieked. “You look like her!”

“Abbie did makeup on me!” he said, proudly.

“And now Abbie needs to go!” Abbie said.

I walked her to the front door, confirmed that she knew where she was going, and reminded her to take a cab home. I gave her $20.00 from my wallet for the cab and told her to have a good time. She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and headed down the steps. I turned and went back inside.

“So what do you think, Elyse? Ready for our son to go ‘goth’?” I chuckled.

“No!” she smirked. “But he sure is enjoying himself. He and Jesse went upstairs to look in the full-length mirror on the back of my door.”

“Not the one on the ceiling?” Kara giggled.

“What?” Katy gasped.

“She’s KIDDING,” Elyse said. “Kara, I’ll get you for that one! Perhaps we should discuss a certain videotape?”

“You’re joking!” Katy gasped.

“Wouldn’t YOU like to know,” Jessica smirked.

“I should never have moved out,” Katy laughed. “I forgot just how much fun it was to live here!”

“It’s never dull, that’s for sure!” Josie agreed.

Matthew got to wear his makeup and pretend dress for about an hour before it was bedtime. He protested having to wash his face, but I reminded him that was the deal his mom had made. He made a sour face, but let Elyse remove all the makeup, give him a bath, and put him to bed.

June 6, 1989, Chicago, Illinois

“Holy shit!” Elyse gasped. “Do you believe this?”

“I’m seeing it and I sure as hell don’t. The Chinese government is screwed if their tank commanders stop for a single civilian in the middle of the road! I expected to see him flattened by that tank.”

Eventually, two men in blue hustled the protestor off the street and the column of tanks continued.

“You think that’s the end?” Jessica asked.

“I think it’s the beginning of the end. Can you imagine what would have happened ten years ago? That guy would be a red smear on the pavement. If we even saw a video. The government may manage to contain it this time, but unless they loosen up the reins, it’s all over.”

“Like Gorbachev?”

“Something like that, yes. It’s amazing how quickly this is happening.”

“Where’s Abbie?” Jessica asked.

“Still exploring, I guess. I’m not going to try to be her dad, so it’s not really my business what she’s doing or who she’s with. She’s eighteen, so it really is her decision.”

“You aren’t concerned about her?”

“I am, but she’s an adult. And yes, I’ll give my kids this kind of freedom, though I’ll expect them to tell us where they are and when they’ll be home. But asking Abbie to do that would be like asking Leila or Katy.”

“Even when they’re adults?”

“If they’re living here, yes. But it should be second nature by the time they’re eighteen.”

“You might want to ask her to do the same thing,” Jessica said. “Just for her own safety.”

“It’s not unreasonable, Son,” my dad said. “She’s in a new city, and doesn’t really know anyone except for you.”

“I guess I was just allowing her the freedom I thought she needed. But I’ll talk to her at breakfast if she doesn’t come home before we head to bed. Are you still planning on leaving after lunch tomorrow?”

“Yes. I finished with Julia today, and obviously, I’ll keep in touch with her and decide when to come up to run things while she’s on her maternity leave.”

“Now THAT’s hilarious!” Elyse interrupted. “They almost dumped that asshole Khomeini’s body onto the ground!”

The report on CNN showed people trying to grasp at the shroud that wrapped the Ayatollah’s body and nearly dragging him to the ground. It would have been fitting given the trouble he’d caused for the US, especially during the hostage crisis.

“There’s a special spot in hell for that man,” my dad said. “The Shah was a pretty bad guy, but nothing compared to that religious fanatic who wanted to take the country back to the 7th century. And it doesn’t look like things are going to get any better, either.”

“What’s your take on China?” I asked.

“Chaos. At least in the short term. If they’re smart, they’ll loosen the reins a bit economically, like Gorbachev is doing. If they don’t, it’ll collapse into a chaotic mess that will suck the entire world in.”

“And Russia?”

“You have better contacts there than I do!” he chuckled. “What’s your friend Ivan saying?”

“Not much, really. Just that he’s pleased with the economic changes. Tanya is very happy with the improving democracy. And I suspect that Dmitry never really relished the idea of an assault on NATO.”

“Soldiers never do,” my dad said. “Only politicians. Well, with the odd exception of Patton!”

“Which is what got him into trouble. But I think you could say the same thing about him that Lincoln said about US Grant - ‘He fights’.”

“They should have given Patton the damned gasoline and let him advance, instead of trying that foolish gambit that Monty dreamt up. The war would have been shorter, and the Soviets would have had less territory.”

“Do you have a few minutes to talk privately?” I asked.

“Sure, Son.”

We went to my study and I shut the door.

“How did things go with Stephanie and Jorge?” I asked.

“Fine. Your sister still has a serious attitude problem, but Jorge is a nice moderating force. I’m not sure she’ll ever marry him, but he’s good for her. Of course, if I tell HER that, you know what’ll happen.”

“Yes,” I sighed. “She’ll dump him. I’m not totally happy with how my relationship with her has changed.”

“You got married and she was no longer first in your life. Then you had kids and made it worse. Before your wedding, even when you were serious with Jennifer, Tanya, and Bethany, Stephanie came first. It was unavoidable, because it’s been a foregone conclusion that you would marry from the time you met Becky and Jennifer. It was really just a question of who it would be. I see Jessica seems to be doing OK.”

“She is. She’s getting counseling, and the three of us are seeing a marriage counselor. And we’re talking a lot.”

“Marry in haste and repent in leisure,” my dad said.

“Where’d you hear that one?”

“From my dad, when I was fifteen or so. Part of his conversation with me about not getting too serious about girls too soon.”

“Probably good advice, though I sure didn’t take it! And Jesse has me beat. He had his first kiss when he was three months old!”

“You had a girlfriend when you were around two or three. A little girl who lived next door to us in Yorba Linda.”

I chuckled, “Jannelle Green. We were going to have ten kids and six cats. I had this odd flashback to her about ten years ago when I was holding hands with Bethany when we were walking.”

“You were quite upset when we moved out to Bermuda Dunes, because you couldn’t see her regularly. Speaking of girls, how did you meet the young lady from New York?”

“Her parents ran the bed-and-breakfast that our travel agent booked me into when I went to get Jessica. We had a really in-depth talk about all kinds of stuff, and I invited her to come visit and check out Chicago. She’s a sweet girl who’s searching for meaning for her life. At some point, she’s going to move to New York City to be with her friends. Well, that was her plan, anyway. We’ll see what happens. Did you see the Polaroids of Matthew?”

My dad laughed, “I did! He showed me this morning before I left the house. He’s quite proud of that picture.”

“I thought Jesse was going to have a heart attack when he saw Matthew. And Matthew tried to weasel his way out of having to wash his face before going to bed. Before I forget, are you and mom planning to come up in August?”

“Once the babies are born we’ll settle on which days to come up. I have to say I didn’t expect to have five grandchildren in such a short time!”

“I love kids,” I said. “I always have. And each of the girls wants their own.”

“And you suffer to help them,” he chuckled.

“It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it!”

My dad laughed hard. We talked for another twenty minutes before rejoining the others for the rest of the evening.

June 7, 1989, Chicago, Illinois

“Tell me more about that conversation, please,” Doctor Green said after we’d given him an outline of our sauna conversation.

“I think the bottom line is trust,” Jessica said. “None of us have enough of it for each other. Except maybe Kara for Steve, but even there, he’s done some things to her over the years that seriously violated that trust. Just like I did recently.”

“The conversation started about trying to decide on ground rules,” I said. “And what we discovered is that all three of us are broken in some way and need to heal. But we want to heal together. And we need help to do that. Help from you, help from our closest friends, and help from each other.”

“I am concerned about the additional stress that a baby is going to bring to the relationship. And Jessica’s eventual return to the ER. We’ll need to work out strategies for dealing with the stress, with the understanding that Jessica can’t just walk away from it if she’s overstressed.”

“That’s what I’m working on with my private counselor,” Jessica said. “And when I start in the ER I’ll be starting with a month of eight-hour shifts with close supervision. Then I’ll go to twelve-hour shifts, assuming I’m cleared by the Senior Attending. That would last for another month or so, and then I’ll be back on a regular rotation.”

“Would you give consent to let me discuss all of this with your psychologist at the hospital?”

“Yes, of course. I tell her pretty much everything we say here.”

“You mentioned that there’ve been some changes at home. Has that been stressful in any way?”

“No,” Jessica answered. “Katy is an old friend of Steve’s who’s getting divorced. She used to live in the house before she got married, so it’s kind of like coming home. Leila and Alejandra moved out, but that really didn’t affect me one way or the other, though I think Steve was a bit sad about it. And we have a new friend, Abbie, who’s staying with us, probably for the summer.”

“Why were you sad, Steve?” Doctor Green asked.

“They’re good friends and they had lived in the house for several years. But once Sofia moved out, and the other girls got pregnant, they decided they wanted to get their own place. It makes sense, even if it’s sad that they left. That said, I was much more upset when Sofia moved out, because I’ve known her for ten years, and we were very, very close.”

“She was his best friend in Sweden, and filled that spot when things between Steve and Bethany went sour.”

“You’ve mentioned lots of girls. I’m wondering just how many of these were truly serious. How many were real candidates for a long-term relationship or marriage?”

I chuckled, “Quite a few. Not in any particular order - Birgit, Jennifer, Becky, Karin, Sofia, Katt, Stephie, Elyse, Kara, Bethany, Jessica, Anala, and Tanya.”

“You’re joking?!”

“No. And that’s not a complete list. There were other girls, too. But in the end, most of them needed something that I couldn’t provide.”

“Monogamy?”

“Yes, except in Jennifer’s case, I had the wrong genitals.”

“Something she discovered while in college, if I recall correctly.”

“Yes. It was a long and tortuous journey. My friend Katy is treading some of the same ground.”

“And that’s the cause of her divorce?”

“Yes. But back to stress, she’s not causing any for me, and everyone likes having her around. Her girlfriend is really sweet as well.”

“How about work? Is that causing you any stress?”

“No more than usual, and it’s not bad. I think my biggest stress is lack of time. It’s nearly four months before my karate instructor comes back, and those responsibilities, added to work and home, really limit what I can do.”

A WellLived Life 2 Book 7 SakurakoChapter 57 Land of the Rising Sun Part III

June 23, 1994, Oguni, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan My first week in Japan flew by, and a routine developed. Sakurako would wake me; I’d exercise and run, then shower and have breakfast, and share tea with Sakurako. After breakfast, I’d meditate, and then have my training session. After lunch, I’d work in the garden, or, as I had this day, wash the floors in the house. Hiroshi would accompany me back to the cottage and we’d talk while I washed up and dressed for dinner. After dinner, I’d spend...

I can’t think of anything else.” “I’ll see you in five weeks,” Elyse said, giving me a quick hug. “Did you see they rioted in Vancouver last night because they lost the Stanley Cup?” I chuckled, “Only Canadians would riot when they LOSE the Cup!

Monday was refreshingly normal. On Tuesday morning, I handed Katy my completed intake form. She put it in an envelope and stuck it in her bag. She said she’d let me know soon about the interview.

Both of us would start school in a week and we were both looking forward to it. When we finished talking, I went out for my run, showered, and ate breakfast. I made some tea, started a load of laundry, and then turned on the stereo. I put on an REO Speedwagon album and then relaxed on the couch with the...

I had quite a bit of reading to do, so I made a pot of tea and went to the ‘Indian’ room with my textbooks. About an hour later, Elyse joined me, and Julia came in shortly after her. My mind began to wander and I realized just how much I missed having Stephie around. There wasn’t much I could do about it now, except to adapt to the new reality.

I nodded my agreement and wondered how I could pull off the conversation without Bethany noticing. That problem solved itself when Bethany announced about 4:30pm that she was going out with Andrew and wouldn’t join us for dinner.

That wouldn’t seem odd to anyone, because I often went to my room to read. In addition, I now had the TV I’d received for my birthday. I flipped it on to WXIX Channel 19 and reruns of Gilligan’s Island and Green Acres played in the background while I read. I had to get my mind clear for the final exams that...

Calling it a sin would debase it into a meaningless act. I could never do that. And the more I thought about Jennie McGrath, the more sure I was that I couldn’t call what she did for me a sin, either. If the church was right, I was going to hell.

December 1979, Stockholm, Sweden The door to the room opened. Karin came in wearing her nightgown. She shut the door and climbed back into bed with me. “Karin?” “Yes, Steve?” “Did we?” “Yes, we did,” she said, sounding very happy. “Oh my God!” I gasped. “I thought you were Birgit! I’m so sorry!” “It’s fine. It is what Birgit wanted. It’s what you wanted. It’s what I wanted.” “You were a virgin!” I protested. “Oh, God, Karin, I took your virginity!” “No, Steve. I gave it to you....

A WellLived Life 2 Book 5 MichelleChapter 77 Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Part I

May 11, 1992, Chicago, Illinois Monday was turning out to be a LONG day. After my run and talk with Gina, and my talk with Elyse, I had a full day at the office scheduled. First was our leadership meeting in the morning, and then I had status meetings with each team. At lunch I’d gone to see Siobhán and explained that I was going to break off the sexual relationship, but that I wanted to remain friends. She was disappointed, but admitted that Thursday would have been the last time, since she...

Philip, my friend Steve Adams.” We shook hands. “Jiang, this is my friend Sari Onbekend.” “«Je bent Nederlands»?” Philip said to Sari. (“You’re Dutch?”) “«Ja, maar onze vrienden spreken geen Nederlands»!” (Yes, but our friends don’t speak Dutch!) “«Ik spreek een beetje»,” I said. (“I speak a little.”) “How about we all speak Cantonese?” Jiang said with a smile. “Sorry,” I replied. “Sorry,” Philip added....

January 19, 1989, En-Route from LAX to ORD When the engines of the plane started, Jeri reached over and took my hand. She held it while we pushed away from the gate, and taxied for takeoff. Her grip tightened a bit as we hurtled down the runway, but nothing like the death grip she’d had on my arm for the flight out. The plane roared its way into the air and once we leveled out, Jeri’s grip loosened but she didn’t let go of my hand. “How are you doing?” I asked with a touch of...

December 31, 1990, Chicago, Illinois I chuckled, “I’m glad you didn’t ask for that ‘up against the wall’, because I don’t have any Galliano!” “I’m impressed,” Leslie said. “Most people don’t know that one!” I mixed her drink, handed it to her, and then poured myself a couple of ounces of Maker’s Mark bourbon. We clinked our glasses together and each sipped from our glass. “Damn, this is good!” she said. “Top shelf vodka and freshly squeezed orange juice are a necessity. I can’t do much...

June 11, 1989, Chicago, Illinois It was just after 3:00am when I kissed Trish goodbye. She’d been an enthusiastic, energetic, and adventurous lover. We’d done just about anything either of us could think of, though her breasts weren’t large enough for a tit-fuck. The last time had been in the shower where we’d ostensibly gone to clean up afterwards, but instead I ended up taking her from behind as she leaned against the wall of the shower. “I think I’ll have you again, Steve Adams,” she...

May 1978 The first couple of weeks in May were busy with school, work, and friends. Except for Becky, I didn’t even have any dates. But I was OK with that. Well, almost OK. I wanted to see Anna, but it likely wasn’t going to happen until school was out. I had tutoring sessions with Melanie, but she still wouldn’t talk to me about anything other than Spanish. Barely a hello. I was grateful for the tutoring, but it was maddening seeing my friend this way. I hoped someday she could understand...

March, 1982, Milford, Ohio As I drove along I-65, I thought about what Stephanie had asked for and what Bethany had said without even knowing about the request. Of course, because Bethany and I were so in tune, she might have actually had an idea that I was struggling with getting involved with my sister again. I kept turning it over and over in my mind and I kept coming to the same conclusion — that I shouldn’t do it. I was torn between doing what Stephanie wanted and doing what Kara and...

You were messing with me, weren’t you?” She grabbed both my hands and smiled, “I was telling the truth, in my own way. Thank you!” She leaned forward and kissed my cheek. “So, what’s left?” I asked. “To visit UofC tomorrow and formally withdraw from classes. To spend some time with you and your...

I decided I wasn’t particularly interested in going so I put on some music, poured myself a glass of wine, and started reading more about Russia. I was alternating between the history and culture book and the Communist Party book, decided on the history and culture book for this time.

The waiter showed us to a quiet table along the wall of Roditys in Greektown. He took our drink orders and was back quickly. We placed our food orders right away and he left to put them in with the kitchen. “I’m not quite sure how to address this, so I’m just going to ask you bluntly.

Much like with Cèlia, Melissa and I had passed an inflection point and I was left with sub-optimal paths forward. I’d been struggling with the possible solutions, and all of them had pitfalls. When I walked into Takumi, I had something of a plan. Whether it was good or not would only be known once everything played out. “I spoke to my wives,” I said after we’d...

It was, perhaps, a bit selfish, but this year I wanted my family and friends around me. Jorge’s death, and the entire situation with Jessica had really driven home just how important that was, not that I hadn’t believed that before. Alex had given me a bit of grief about it, but I reminded him that I’d been there the year before. Not to mention the fact that...

When she woke, she hopped out of bed and pulled a robe out of her closet and handed it to me. “There’s a spare toothbrush in the bathroom. Go have your shower, then we’ll have breakfast after I have my shower.” I quickly showered and brushed my teeth, and went back to Katt’s room. She went to shower and came back a few minutes later. She dressed, and I got a very good look at her sexy body...

She’d dated some in High School and had gone to both her Junior and Senior Proms, but with a different guy friend each time.
