a/n: Alan's got his blog on LiveJournal. At times I'll also have 'responses to his musings and such. Unfortunatly, I can't recreate all the format used in that site. For the purposes of the blog, I'll assume that Millie got her appointment in mid January of 2007, and started to see Alan around that time.

Also, chapters 1-5 were written before the Episode Nine Wives was aired.

January 21, 2007.

Welcome to my blog. I usually don't do this kind of thing, but my girlfriend, Millie said that it was very fun, and a great way to make friends. So, here I am. Let me tell you about myself. I've got two grown sons. One of them is in law enforcement and the other is a professor. I'm a widower, who's just gotten back into the dating scene. I used to be a city planner, but now I consult people on their building projects. Consulting's great! You make good money, and it's a little more flexible, time wise, though sometimes I get the weirdest people coming into my office. Just yesterday, a woman wanted me to help her build a series of S and M dungeons to rent by the day or hour in Vegas! At first, I thought it was a crank, but soon I found out that she was serious! My business partner and I promised to look over her lists and give her an estimate. I don't know if I wanna do this project, but we haven't had a client for a while. Anyway, I gotta go and make dinner. My older son, the one in law enforcement(I won't tell you which branch for his protection) is coming over.

As someone who is in chronic pain, I could never understand how people could get off on it, or being tortured. shakes head. Somehow, it's not surprising that Bondage dungeons would be built in Vegas. Good luck!

Awesome! Once it's built, coudl you give us the address? I'm starting to get into that whole scene, but getting the equipment is expensive for my limited budget(I work at Burger King)

Pleasure comes in all forms, and everyone is different. Don't be so judgemental, Blogger! Maybe this project could be a good learning experiance for you.

You say that because you've never had to find a cousin of yours, dead, and hanging in your living room because he decided to experiment with autoaxphixiation! He was a week from getting married with his pregnant fiancee! Poor woman got gestational diabetes and preclamsia from the shock and grief.

I'm sorry about your loss, but people die from driving cars too.

The client who wanted the S and M dungeon decided to go with another firm, who had done them for private households. For once, losing a client is a relief. For the record, gothpunk666, I was not being judgemental! It's just that I dont' have much experiance with this sort of thing. Back in the day, such stuff was kept very very deep underground.

Lilysmommy: I was sorry to hear about your cousin! My thoughts go out to your family.

Anyway, I had lunch with my older son, who seemed surprised about my keeping a blog. He also warned me about giving out personal information and to let him know if anyone started harassing me. X is quite protective of me and his brother! Especially since his mother got sick. It doesn't help that he sees the worst that people can do to each other! I worry about him! He works so hard, and gets consumed by his job. He's not married, so he doesn't have that anchor to help him get through. If X isn't careful, he's gonna get burnout! Just recently, he lamented about having so many open cases and how being depress is his natural state of mind. He really needs a vacation. I know that he's an adult, but as a parent you never stop worrying. What can I do?

I know just how you feel! My daughter used to be a police detective, and went through the same thing X did. It cost her a marriage and custody of her beauitful children. It took a long suspension for her to get herself on the right track.

I used to be a cop in vegas, and just up and quit one day. You get tired of just how flawed the system is. I'd work my ass off to make a case, only to have it dismissed! And it seemed that for every perp I put away, two more would pop up and do the same damn thing! Now, I'm running my own business.

A friend of mine was a cop, and missed a lot of her kids' birthdays, soccer games, and school functions.

your son should try aromatherapy and acunpuncture. It's work wonders for me!
