Re: Daniel and Company

It actually had more to do with not having a lieutenant
available. Christopher Allen lived here while he went to
college. PJ did his first two or three years of college here.
So did Bobby. Except Steven, Troy, and Clay (who were in no way
mature enough to handle that), no one else lived home. Marcus
coming home helped while he stayed here. I think that really
was the main reason. The age difference probably came into
effect as well.
Yeah, Daniel seemed pretty clear he didn't have any experience
with (giving) spankings.

I had lunch with Daniel yesterday. Normally, I would have had
Garret Riley with me, but he's feeling a bit under the weather,
and since he wasn't working, he begged off.
Daniel and I don't often have time to have a long, quiet lunch,
but we both had a good break, so we enjoyed some time to relax
together. Yesterday morning was pretty rainy, and it got a bit
brisk, before the rain passed, so we made tomato soup and
grilled cheese sandwiches, and ate here at the counter.
Normally we get tied up with what's going on at work, but I've
been making a real point to stop at the stores several times a
week, and to talk to the managers, since I'm so busy with other
things right now. We were able to talk personal stuff.
He's happy with how things are. He's a more outgoing person
than I ever was. He has a number of friends right now - some
old ones who are still around or back around. Some new ones
he's met since graduating and coming home. He's not dating
anyone seriously. He's met a couple of girls he likes, but one
is 'just a friend' and the other is a college student and too
busy to date often.
He had originally planned on getting his own apartment this
summer. Staying with Ryan for a while was a way to get his feet
under him, decide if he really wanted to work at the comic
store, and then think about where he wanted to live. At this
point, he's decided he's happy where he is, and he doesn't want
to move. He asked me if I'd talk to Ryan for him.
Daniel and Logan seem to get along well. The two of them have
come to an agreement. Logan has always been more quiet and laid
back than his little brother, as far as I can tell, and he
doesn't get into much trouble. It didn't take much to convince
him that Daniel was serious, would paddle him, and his dad would
back him up, so he just quit pushing. That's not to say that
there are no troubles, but it sounds like, if Daniel calls him
on something, he's smart enough to settle down.
It's a bit different with Mason. Mason isn't quite ADHD, but he
is pretty active and impulsive. Usually he can be called down,
but he does sometimes get belligerent or stubborn. Daniel is
pretty sure he spanked him at the first of April, though it
could have been the end of March - he just remembers it was
right around Easter. On the other hand, he knows Mason got the
belt from his dad just a couple of weeks ago.
Neither boy is as big as their dad was at that age, but they're
both adolescent, and neither is short. Logan is a bit slighter
than his dad or brother, but not quite a string bean either. He
is having a bit of trouble with acne right now, but nothing too
horrible.
So, last night I called Ryan and tried to sound him out. He's
had no trouble with Daniel at all and is happy to have him
there. Ryan is dating some, and he does go out with his friends
about once a week, and he's glad Daniel is wiling to stay home.
While he's trust Logan home alone, Logan and Mason together is
sometimes a volatile mix, and he'd worry a bit too much about
Mason having too much freedom, though he knows the boy's not bad
behaved and really not that impulsive.
He's happy with their arrangement, and doesn't mind that Daniel
doesn't pay rent. They don't really need the bedroom for
anything, and Daniel contributes to the house in a lot of ways,
so Ryan is happy to have him stay on.
I'll let Daniel know the endorsement today.

Aww that’s great news for all around and I’m happy he’s doing so
good.... he’s the one that wants to take over for you when you

Yes, and he's been a Godsend this year, between my health
trouble and my teaching. Josh can do everything that needs to
be done, but he doesn't like to and really doesn't want to.
While it's not Daniel's favorite thing, he knows how to do it,
and he will often print out the weekly paperwork Monday morning,
and have it ready for me to double check by the time I can
arrive after school. He and I have been working closely
together this semester, splitting and rotating the jobs, so one
of us doesn't get stuck with the same stuff all the time, and
he's still spending time working the different positions to
learn everything that goes on.

I should probably separate this or start a solo thread for
Daniel or something - at least move it to the bio section . For
now, though, this is a good place to update.
Yesterday was Daniel's birthday. He's 23, so it really wasn't a
big deal. He wasn't asking for a family dinner - both since it
was a Saturday night, and because he didn't know what he was
going to be doing (he is going to come over tonight, and we're
going to have a pot roast for him).
What he ended up doing was borrowing my upstairs gaming room.
He and Ryan called some of their old friends and managed to put
together enough people to play a few games of Talisman: the
Magical Quest game (a fantasy board game which I've been playing
for over 30 years now). After the first game, they ordered some
pizza and we had plenty of soda for them, so they reverted back
to their early teens and apparently had a great time, as well as
letting me visit with some young men I've known for over a
decade now, but don't see often enough anymore.
