same time; I have to admit that it was more than passably fun. From us, Marilyn went on to spend time with Jan, Robyn, Sandra, Susan, and even Candice when she was finally able to stop in for a visit. All of them agreed with my and Kelly's opinion about the benefits and hazards of being Marilyn's lover.
Marilyn spent Christmas with us, since the break at school wasn't really long enough for her to fly home and spend it with her family. We arranged another phone call from Marlyn and Ted, which thrilled her, as did the gifts that all of us got for her. She finished her first semester of college with a 3.92 grade point average; her second semester ended with her raising that to 3.96. All of us told her how proud we were of her, which embarrassed her to no end.
When school let out for the summer, she flew home; then came back again in time to start her sophomore year, with all of us picking up pretty much where we'd left off. The one exception was that Bishop Ferguson had finally convinced me and Kelly to start teaching classes at the Catholic high school. Each of us had just one class a week, on different days, so it wasn't any trouble working it into our schedule. Kelly is going to be teaching 'Philosophical Discussions' while my subject is 'Problem Analysis' – but those are just the 'cover names' so Kelly can teach the kids what 'love' is, and so I can try to teach them how to think. We made it clear what we were going to do to the Bishop, and he doesn't have any problems with it.
