decided. Ganelon had not given any real indication of having recognized me.
All right. I would take advantage of
the hospitality he had offered.
With that resolve, I sought BIG TITTY HO out the kitchen and conned a hearty breakfast.
Well, it BIG TITTY HO was really around lunchtime, but let's call things BIG TITTY HO by their BIG TITTY HO proper
names. I had a strong desire for a smoke and felt a certain perverse joy BIG TITTY HO in

winded. This was my chance for some of the exercise I was seeking.
I moved forward, BIG TITTY HO smiled, and said, "I'm Corey of Cabra. I was watching
you."
I turned my attention to the big, dark man who was
grinning at his resting
buddy.
"Mind if I practice with you while your friend rests?" I asked BIG TITTY HO him.
He kept grinning and pointed at his mouth
