Not a boat, but a small house. Not a dog, but tomatoes that I grow upside down brought me the friendship first, and later the love of a pretty woman much younger than myself. My life has changed completely. I feel young again! Thank you for a wonderful story that in some ways parallels in what happened to me. Keep writing, I love your style!
Ennui changed and charged up and hurtled into mania and life's awareness. Thank you for this one.

On a Summer's Breeze
It's Easter in nova Scotia, and I can smell snow in the air; gray, cold and muddy - and you just wrote my dream, you bastard. On this site, as anywhere else in life, I suppose, most folks shouldn't bother. You should; you write with a tender wit and compassion, your characters ring true. Thanks.
Adrian, my friend, this is the best story you've ever done. Period. Happy Easter, my man.

WOW!
Thank you, Adrian for this one. I spend (waste?) a lot of time reading stories on this site that I should be spending on productive endeavors, but this ranks with the top and was certainly an excellent use of my time. Very well done.

Spring Surprise
Most excellent! I felt all of it, the sea, the boat, but mostly I felt what it was like to be with my love again. Maybe in time.
I really liked this one. Very beautiful story. I'm looking forward for some more beautiful stories from you. Happy easter to the author and to my fellow readers (sorry I'm late). thanks for the beautiful story.

CAN'T BEAT LIFE ON THE WATER
IT'S VERY REFRESHING TO HAVE YOUR STORY POSTED HERE. AS A LIVEABOARD FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS, I UNDERSTAND IT IS A "DO OVER" SO TO SPEAK. HELPS CLEAR THE HEAD AND SEE WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO ONE SELF. MY ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT I HAD A CAT. BUT SHE WAS A LOVE AND A WONDERFUL COMPANION
Good writing, pleasant idyl, but more or less lacking a plot, In fact it was soo unlikely as to be a major suspension of belief. Well, bland sells, spice not so much. It's well regarded, it has a big appreciative audience, but I'm not in that audience.
I mean you come up with such imagery in your prose, and the theater in my minds eye flickers instantly to full technicolor life...and at a 4kUHD level of detail, too!
I mean when you pen phrases like: "Scoot and I made off on our appointed rounds, we scooped the poop fantastic" I laugh both from the idiocy of it (and as a dog lover of long standing the snappy imagery of it) as well as the veritable poetry of it. My own meagre prose seems kindergartenish by comparison to your superior handling of the art.
Were you to enable star ratings, you'd get my 5, easily.

Kewl! Good reading and well written. Cheers!
too sweet by half
