Alan’s turn:

I just have to get it in my head that the women in my life, NONE of them fits into that neat little contemporary mold marked ‘normal’. Let’s start with my wife Tina. She’s more than twenty years junior to me, brilliant on any scale except perhaps the rarified world of our community, but we’re talking about a girl that achieved a baccalaureate degree at the age of nineteen. Make that a degree in electrical engineering. She’s on the ‘mommy’ track now, her choice.

Before I met Tina there was another marriage, a union that ripped me apart when it failed. The best part of that failure is my daughter Terri. Terri’s twelve now, a perfect (what dad doesn’t think his daughter is a version of perfection?) little blonde thing with a brain. Seeing her being twelve years old in venues with others her age, she looks like one of them. Well, maybe just a little more conservative in dress and a little more measured in mannerisms, but blonde, blue-eyed ... And it’s like having a plutonium core covered by a tea cozy. And a million dollars in the bank.

And then there’s the newest addition to the Addison crew, Katherine Genevieve, a joint collaboration of Tina and me, although Tina did all the heavy lifting. Kathy’s a year old now, walks, gets VERY frustrated because her motor skills don’t keep up with her mental acumen. She talks. Not that ‘mama dada’ stuff’. You have to hang on because a one year old mouth isn’t ready for an adolescent (at least) vocabulary.

Hoot of the day one day – I come home and Kathy’s in her little red wagon. EVERY kid in America should have a little red wagon at some point in life. Kathy’s got one. Kathy’s also got a big sister who is the keeper of Bot-bot, a robotic platform that has performed many tasks. Right at the moment I walked up, Bot-bot had the handle of Kathy’s wagon and Kathy was commanding him to pull her from one location to the next.

Kathy’s not unsupervised. Big sister Terri’s within a quick leap of her. Nor is she unaware, and she knows that Bot-bot takes voice commands. “Bah-bah, Stwaight” works. Then she sees me walking up. “Bah-bah, wight”, then “Dah-dee!”

Terri comes bounding up. “Bot-bot recognizes Kathy’s voice.”

“Google?”

“Uh-huh. They’re giving me some voice recognition blocks and I’m pushing the functions pretty hard. We’re pushing. I already sent a video of Bot-bot and Kathy.”

Google bought their way out of the munchkin inventions, drawing a bright line between the things that the munchkins had going with the Department of Defense and parallel work with Google. Terri and the gang are still in and out of both organizations as R&D. I want to say ‘engineers’ because I’m an engineer and I like to think that Terri’s obvious skills are hereditary, but she’s past plain ol’ engineering. In terms of pure intellect, if I’m a jet fighter, she’s a star destroyer. And the bubbly little thing commanding the robot over there may well be a Deathstar.

There is true heartbreak in being the father of a young girl. I’d hoped I wouldn’t have to face that until she was in her teens, but then I’d also, at one time, thought she’d go into college in her late teens as well. She’s IN college, at least in some strange, nebulous way, ergo, she’s also old enough, in her mind, to be serious about boys.

That is true heartache.

It could be worse. Might get that way, but I’m betting on my Terri and her stepmom and a very supportive and sane community.

Twelve years and two months. That’s a significant number because it marks a definite milestone in the transition of my Terri from girlchild to young woman. I walked into the house one day. Kathy was napping. Terri and Tina had serious looks.

“What’s up?” I asked. I’m leery. One time I asked that, we ended up with a covey of ultralight aircraft in the community.

“I’ll let our daughter tell you,” Tina said. That’s a happy thing. ‘Our daughter’. Tina has taken her role as stepmom seriously.

I looked at Terri. “You solved cold fusion?”

“No, Daddy,” she giggled.

‘Daddy’ tells me I’m being manipulated or it’s a happy milestone.

“I ... Uh, I am officially a woman.”

“Offcially,” I repeated. “Elaborate.”

“Without being graphic,” she said, “I know you notice changes. My clothes fit different. I’m getting THESE,” she said, putting her hands over the beginnings of actual breasts. “And I woke up this morning feeling gooshy. Dad, I am having my first period.”

I looked at Tina.

“You knew it was gonna happen sooner or later. I’ve been talking with Beck. We figured it was a horse-race between our daughters. We won.”

Now you need to understand that since Beck and Sim and Rachel moved into our old apartment building, Terri and Rachel have been inseparable. Two days later Rachel crossed into delightful precocious womanhood herself.

But my Terri ... That whole ‘boy-girl’ thing. She regularly interacts with others in her age range with the home-school group in which we participate. A lot of them are young boys, a growing concern to me.

One day I took a load of them to the library. I noticed a couple of boys plaguing my daughter. Well, they’re young adolescent boys, so they’re plaguing anything female, but my ‘daddy’ sense thought they were after MY daughter. I mentioned it that evening.

“Dad,” she said with a tone of ‘I can’t believe you even ask’. “Those are muggles.”

“She’s got standards,” Tina giggled.

“Oh, sure ... You both gang up on me.”

“He’s got to be smart, reliable, reasonably good looking, funny...”

“Like the guy I married, right, Terri?” Tina injected.

“Mmm-hmm...” affirmed Terri. She then smiled at me sweetly. “Like that.”

So she found that, at least in her estimation. I know the guy. If my daughter was ten years older, I’d be popping celebratory champagne. She’s not ten years older. It’s killing me.

Trouble is, I like the guy. He’s a bright young engineer in his own right, interned with us, worked with the girls on various mechanical parts of their robotics research and development. Mechanical engineer, but I don’t hold that against him. He’s honest and he’s moral and I can’t just shoot ‘im.

I have a good daughter. She talked to me. She talked to Tina. She talked to Cindy. Dana. Susan. Left Beck out for a while, then talked to her when Beck got the news via Terri’s best friend Rachel. And she talked to Dana.

And Dana’s great-grandmother. Who laid down the law. Of course, since Terri’d talked to Cindy and the gang, she knew in detail what the law said about twelve year old girls and twenty-two year old men and it was frightening enough.

Mizz Lee, though, honorable teacher to the girls, laid it out in terms of love and caring and endurance. So Terri knows. And Jerry’s in Houston, Texas and I know that email and Facetime are as close as they get, but they do stay very close.

Tina says there’s no sexual component to the conversations. I understand that both of them know the dangers.

I just wrote it off as being right there with the fact that my twelve year old daughter had a grasp of many college subjects better than the people who were studying them. Hah! In too many cases, she had a better grasp than the people ostensibly teaching them.

I just need to keep in mind that the women in my life are going to do the right things. That includes Terri. Trouble is that sometimes the right thing might be totally surprising.

Cindy’s turn:

If you didn’t already know, Mister Wally can get bossy at times. We made him the boss of 3S Aviation, the shell corporation that owns my big twin Cessna, Songbird, our little Cessna 150 that’s EVERYBODY’S trainer now, and ALL the ultralights. He’s a stickler for aviation safety, a fact that probably accounts for his surviving in the scary world of agricultural aviation.

He made us put a full set of strobes and radios on the ultralights. The trainer and Songbird already have that. He said, “It’s all about safety, and a big part of safety is making sure you can be seen, and that you can hear and talk to everybody. I will NOT be picking up body parts because you girls aren’t being safe.”

So yeah, the Munchkins can talk to each other, and any other aircraft in the pattern.

And now, hormones. Yup, we should have guessed, with all the time that they’re spending together, and they’re twelve. Terri and Rachel had their first periods, and starting the same week. Tina told me that Rachel came over for breakfast, and Terri grabbed her, and they just hugged each other and cried. So, all us “ladies” made plans and had a “ladies lunch” at the Desais’ that Saturday -- kinda packed out the party room. Flowers for Terri and Rachel, and small gifts from us all.

The entire point was to make it a celebration of sorts, and I think it helped them, a little. Wish I’d had something like this when I had my first period.

Anyway, about a week later, at the close of the afternoon lab, Terri said, “Aunt Cindy, can we talk for a minute?”

Uh-oh -- here it comes, I thought. “Sure, Terri. What’s up?”

“Aunt Cindy, I need to talk to Mister Charlie. Is there some way we can make that happen?”

“Umm, Terri, is this about Jerry?”

“Yes ma’am, it is. I don’t know what Mister Charlie can do, but I want to ask him.”

“Terri, there are two answers to your question. The first is, yes we CAN set you up with Mister Charlie. But the other, more important answer is that we can NOT set you up with Mister Charlie until Alan AND Tina personally tell me it’s OK with them.” I sighed. “Terri, I love you too much, and I love Alan and Tina too much to do anything without them being entirely in favor of it.”

She regarded me calmly. “OK, Aunt Cindy, I’ll talk to them. But I have to tell you, I need some firm answers, and all I’m hearing is ‘You’re too young’, and nobody will tell me how long I actually have to wait. I’m hoping Mister Charlie has some ideas about that.”

Crap. I REALLY didn’t want to get involved with all this. But the next morning, I met with Alan and Tina.

Tina said, “My view is that she ought to wait until age sixteen.”

“Unlike some of us, huh?” I opined.

Alan snorted and said, “My view is that she shouldn’t date until she’s about twenty-eight, and not have sex until she’s in her mid-thirties.”

We all chuckled -- the tension was easing a bit.

Then Alan said, “Cindy, you were married much too early, but it worked well for you because of Dan -- he’s a pretty unique guy. But Terri’s situation is very different than yours.”

“I know,” I said. “I had a whole different sort of family situation. So did Nikki and Dana.”

“Really, getting Mister Charlie involved may be a good idea,” Tina said. “He’s a judge, but he’s also a very good lawyer. More importantly, he’s a clear thinker, and Terri will respect anything he says.”

“Terri regards him as a worthy grandfather figure,” Alan admitted.

“OK, guys. Let me see if we can keep this low-key, and avoid any drama. Maybe I can go get Mister Charlie and Aunt Helen.”

And now, a phone call. Mister Charlie looks at his caller ID, I guess. He answered his phone, “Good morning, Doctor Cindy.”

I titter. He does that. Brags to his group of friends about his stepchild who’s got a PhD. He’s proud. I’m flattered that he cares.

He stepped in. “It’s great to hear from you -- what’s going on today?”

“Good morning Dear Grandfather. I have a little friend who needs some legal advice. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about the law, would you?”

He chuckled and said, “Well, maybe I can remember a few things. What kind of advice is she looking for?”

“Sir, it’s something you’ve probably never heard before. She’s under-age, and has decided that she wants to marry an older engineer. Actually, you’ve met her -- she’s the one we call Terri-dactyl.”

Mister Charlie laughed, and said, “I remember this part of the movie. I think the next line is: ‘Don’t go down into that basement -- there’s something down there with big teeth’.” He paused for breath. “But Cindy, is she serious?”

“Yes sir, she is, and we’re trying to formulate some answers that make sense to her. It’s a bit difficult, because she’s so smart -- smarter than me, for sure.”

“I’m not sure that’s possible, but I’ll take your word for it. OK, what’s your plan?”

Nanny’s house was a small, two bedrooms, wooden framed one near a cotton mill. She and my great-grandfather had worked at the mill. Back in those days, the companies felt it was best to have workers that lived near the mills. They built what was called mill villages, dozens and hundreds of basic houses near their plants. Then they sold them to the workers, taking mortgage payments out of their paycheck each week. The South is dotted with the remnants of these kinder, gentler days. By the time...

Sweet little Susan's turn: "You did WHAT?" Alan asked me. I took a breath. The guy actually sounded disturbed. "I gave some of Terri's writings to the English professor who's working with us." I looked at Tina. "Did I do something wrong?" "Alan, she didn't do anything wrong, you know." "I know. I'm just surprised." Alan smiled at me. "You know they'd have figured it out when she started school in the fall," Tina said. "Yeah, I suppose you're right." "Do you...

CommunityChapter 23

Susan's view: You know, just a few months ago I was just a high school senior. I had a mostly normal life. Okay, little bits of departure from many of the contemporary norms were there. Mom and Dad were married to each other. I was eighteen and a virgin. I was in the top level of my graduating class and I didn't take the easy courses. I had a best friend and she and I decided to attend the same college for the same course of study. Okay, so that's pretty normal-sounding, right? Then the...

CommunityChapter 29

Cindy's Turn: Summer used to be something that I survived. School was sort of a refuge because I was out of Mom's hair. Living in a thirty-odd foot travel trailer with Mom did not exactly lend itself to lazy days. I didn't have friends my age. Mom certainly wasn't exerting herself to see that I had any summer activities, so I was on my own in the RV park. The only kids my age came and went with their own families, and very few people choose to visit RV parks in Alabama except for the odd...

Cindy's turn: Riot weekend! We flew to Houston and collected an engineer and a flute-player. Okay, I said 'flautist' but Johanna said very few people still use that term. We flew? I flew. Dan handled communications with air traffic control once we entered the Houston traffic control area and fed me altitude and course data. I paid attention to ALL of that while we both watched for traffic. This is the most intense flying I've done, threading our way between TWO major airports, Hobby on...

Terri's turn: We have a new member of the community – Cindy's mom. I know I heard a little bit about how Cindy came to be with her Dan – he's 1.0 – the first of the two Dans in the community, and a lot of Cindy's story had to do with her mom not being a very good mom. My Tina tells me that I am fortunate to have two moms that love me and that my birth-mother, still in California, did a one of the hardest things ever – let her child go to another because she was just not able to do a...

Dan 1.0’s turn: Interesting meeting – me, my redheaded pixie, Don Matzke ... And the interesting part – Teresa Hardesty. Was supposed to be an informal get-together to see where things are in the circles of 3S Transport which is also the umbrella under which Don runs a charter jet service. “I know Cindy’ll be in the middle of this,” Don told me on the phone. “Do you have a problem if I bring a date?” “You know just how formal we are around here. Anybody we know?” “Teresa...

Johanna’s turn: I have become the musical mommy. I’m not complaining, mind you. Dad and Mom smile at me and tell me that their prayers are answered, that I’m married, my husband loves me, we’re successful, and ... my life is as filled with wonder as I told them. Little Randall is a good baby. That’s good. I’ve heard horror stories about crying all night and teething issues and ear problems and serious diseases. Randall is none of these. The community crèche is devoid of that. There’s a...

Community Service Pt 1

The first couple of weeks I was supposed to do menial jobs like sweeping and mopping, or organizing equipment. I was mopping up the girls locker room when my sisters burst through the door crying. I wasn’t sure if I should leave or try to comfort them. Brotherly compassion won out, and I asked what had happened. Alex sucked up a sob, and brokenly explained. “Our team is going to be cancelled, because we don’t have a coach. Daphne’s dad was supposed to do it, but he bailed on us.” Eva kept...

Community Involvement Ch 16

“Are you angry with me?” Michelle asked, an alcohol induced slur clearly evident in her voice. “No!” I retorted. My hand was firmly on her elbow as I guided her back to our suite. “Yeth, you are.” Her drunken laughter echoed off the walls of the short hall that lead to the inner door. “Your jealous and pissed off that I fucked Marcus! And what was with all that ‘Old Boy’ nonsense?” “I just thought it added a kind of James Bond slant. An unusual situation called for an unusual approach. You no...

Community Fundamentals Of Law

It was now Jeff's...or as he would be known to his students as, Mr. Winger's second day of teaching. Even though Greendale was a rundown, fairly crappy joke of a community college, Jeff had to admit it had done a lot for him. Not only was he able to complete his bachelor's degree and able to actually become a lawyer, he had also gained a core group of friends that made him a much better person. Greendale wasn't done with the tall, good-looking man just yet though. After a failed attempt at...

I have been doing some community service due to a DUI.It is my first, and I didn't have to do any jail time, but I did however get sentenced to 300 hours of community service.That is a lot of spare time.One thing that this has given me is a lot of contact with young studs that are doing the same thing.I have been able to look over quite a few of them and while cleaning up the road sides, I have had to use mother natures rest room along with a few of them.

Community Service

I had got a DWI and had to do eighty hours of community service. The first 48 hours I worked picking up trash off the side of the road and other stuff like that. The last 32 hours I ended up working with this group cleaning up trails that go thru the woods. My first day I showed up and there was another guy who had to do community service and a old man, I would guess in his 70's. Three women that must have been around that age were also there. They were peppy and ready to work. The women went...

CommunityChapter 17

Tina's view: Sometimes I curl up on the sofa in those rare moments when I need some 'me' time and I think about things. Mommyhood. Little girls always think of being mommies. I did until I realized that my own 'mommy' saw me as a problem to be solved. Fortunately the solution was her own mother, Grandma, who did me right. When Grandma died and I ended up with Mom again, I pretty much decided that motherhood wasn't for me, not if I had a chance of ending up like Mom and me. Rethinking...

Alan's Turn: One might imagine that in the aftermath of the restaurant robbery, things might be in a turmoil. To a certain extent, one would be right. I'm fortunate. I have immediate family, my Tina and my Terri. I have my full family, and Tina made sure that she talked with my sister about the incident. And I have the Community. "You gonna be okay, buddy?" Dan 1.0 asked. "Yeah. Am I supposed to be all weepy or something?" He shook his head. "Not like you had any choices." "You...

Dan Granger's turn: I have to laugh. I tried very hard NOT to burn bridges when I left my old job. It paid off. Steve called. "Hey, Steve, what's up?" "You ready to come back?" "Not funny, Steve." "Seriously. One of our clients specifically asked if we'd subcontract you so you can come in and do some stuff for him." "What and when?" Steve gave me the run-down. I wasn't too surprised. Big facility. I'd done a similar scope for part of it prior to moving to Alabama. Now...

The World According to Susan: I am officially ready for a break. It's almost Christmas. I almost hide when I see my math professor. That's okay, though. He almost hides when he sees Cindy. Jason's right there with me, though. He's tested out of some classes and he's gotten transferred credits for a lot of things he took for his technology degree and if he does a summer semester next summer, he just MIGHT squeeze his way onto stage with the rest of us. I hoping. He deserves it. We work...

Should be part of the Community," Nikki said. I'm glad Nikki said it first. I don't want everybody to think I'm running this show. I'm certainly not malicious or anything, but everybody contributes in this effort. "How do we make it happen?" I asked. "She's music, not engineering." "We had Mizz Patel handling...

Bill Carmody's turn: Interesting turn of events, I think. Two years ago I had Dan Richards on my power plant project. I knew him and Alan Addison from a previous power plant project where we were engineers, all three of us, on the same project. They're technically beyond reproach. Now I'm on THEIR payroll. 'Their' is, of course, 3Sigma Engineering. We're redoing several rural substations in Georgia. I ride herd on contractors, mainly, and make sure that they adhere to plans, and I...

Since you’re part of this now, you shall be Bill 3.0.” Which is fine, except to Herself, the Vickster, I’m ‘Billy’. “Cindy said you were ‘Billy’ when she first met you.” “I was. I like to think that I’m mature enough to be ‘Bill’ now.” Sparkly eyes. “Not ‘William’?” “Bill.” Snicker. “Billy.” That snicker is one reason I’m...

I’m standing on a pedestal, a seamstress, a REAL seamstress, is taking measurements for my wedding dress. “Mom, stop crying, for heaven’s sake...” “Every time I think about you getting married,” Mom sobbed. “It’s the expected progression in life. Grow up, leave home, get married...” “Finish college is in there somewhere,” Vicki said. She’s my co-conspirator. We’re getting married the same day. She’s tagged my little brother, a big surprise, since...

Susan's turn: I'm waiting for the aliens to show up. Here's how I figure it will break down. Nikki and Cindy will work with Terri and Rachel on the Star Wars squirrel denial system. They'll actually GET that 95 gigahertz transmitter, and in the process of modulating its output so that it only severely annoys squirrels instead of cooking them on the spot out there in the yard, they'll transmit a signal into space where it will be picked up by an alien spacecraft. The aliens will come...

Can’t help but grin, just thinking about it. Both of ‘em have a little fire in their eyes, and when they’re together, you can nearly SEE the sparks flying between them. Couldn’t have asked for a more unlikely development, right up to matching green dresses they bought together for the wedding. And my phone buzzes --...

I know the real reason. A combination of scheduling conflicts and weather had kept us from holding the weekend airport social and landing contest. The social, however, now had a few outside participants. I mean, it was bound to happen. We don't exist in a vacuum. On any given...

I finally got to sleep, found out that Dana’s a kicker, so I kicked back. When the alarm went off, I let it roll for a bit, listening to the whines and other sounds of the gang waking up. I killed it, turned to get out of bed, but was a bit slow. I saw a T-shirted Rachel flash by muttering “bathroom...” Well, at least with two rooms we can split the...

I have a stepdaughter who's ten years younger than me, who is probably past me in some ways, academically speaking. I know she does things with technology that all of us in the community wonder about. What went on in her head that caused her to take a mobile squirrel repeller platform and convert it into a pet? Yeah, I know,...

I mean, you talk with your daughter on the phone once or twice a week, trying to stay up with what's going on in her life, and then you get a week or so for Thanksgiving or Christmas and you get a few weeks in the summer. A week was BAD. I don't know little girls. Until this past year, I didn't have my own place, so we cribbed up at Mom and...
