The Mall Walker

Jack Krause is a casualty of war in Vietnam and at home. Is there any hope left for Jack Krause, a war-torn Vietnam veteran suffering from PTSD and courting countless demons? He’s a broken man desperate to find peace, if only a fragment. But does it even exist? Incapable of coming to terms with his military deployment, he questions his service in what he now sees as a senseless war. In bitter denial he watches his dysfunctional family and friends implode around him. Then he meets Peter Strong, a Desert Storm amputee. Wounded but not broken, Peter has found the peace that Jack finds so elusive. Jack painfully admonishes Peter for this, and like the ever-changing Boston skyline, there is a deadly storm brewing.

The Dating Game

You never listened to your mother anyway. Now, it may be too late! You’re caught up to the degree that your entire world revolves around him but its un-winding right in front of your eyes and you can’t seem to separate the fly-do from the pepper.
                                  
SOME OF YOUR MOTHER’S DATING RULES

1)     Be selective, not any bad boy will do.  It’s not the time to play the field.  It’s best to seek a quality relationship instead of a quantity of others.
2)     Get to know the guy first through the Internet before physically engaging.  Don’t expose too much of yourself on your Facebook and/or Twitter page.  Don’t give him access to your IDs or Passwords.
3)     Make a list and constantly add to it. But LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN. Remember, this guy is one half of your relationship. Ask the right questions. Don’t be bashful stating your intentions.
4)     Meet in open neutral places until you move the relationship forward.  Be suspicious.  Always be safe.
5)    Each contact with your suitor is a moment of truth. You need to dig in to his core to see if this is the guy you really want to have a serious relationship with or to spend the rest of your life. Is he child or pet friendly etc.?
6)    Don’t go beyond kissing on your first date
7)    Don’t bring him back to your apartment.  Go to his.  He doesn’t need to know where you live or what you have. Then again, he might never want to leave  
8)    Don’t be too available to him.  Make him work for YOU!
9)    Discuss Covid -19 and how it plays out in your relationship. This is serious talk. It could cost you your life.
10)    Frankly discuss and plan out your sex.

IT’S ALL RIGHT JILLIAN.  I NEVER LISTENED 
TO MY MOTHER EITHER 
                                                     
Your Boyfriend,
