I think I have already shared my story about Geno, my bully turned protector. I lived a very narrow edge of being the "parson's son" (not really a parson, but a similar position) super achiever in youth groups and my other side, a closeted and very active gay. I did manage to change some minds when I came upon situations where others were being "gay'ed". Only once did a victim realize that I was one too. Just about blew my cover! I didn't use my fist, my weapon was words. Damn, could I slice and dice.

Makes me think of the movie “My Bodyguard” which I loved as a kid. Was your grandmother Ruth Gordon and did you live in a hotel, Fred? If so, give Adam Baldwin and Matt Dillon my regards. :-)
