Oldest sister is currently alive and well and living in the Bay Area as a mortgage analyst. If there were any adventures in Cold War St. Petersburg, she never shared them with me.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Parents are not always level-headed.
To say the least. When I came out to my parents (at age 28, not to mention 10 years after I went off to school and, really, stopped being an everyday physical presence in their lives), their response was to (1) tell me that I was not gay, because they knew me too well to believe that was possible, and (2) to seek psychiatric treatment.
I spent several days writing back, to make sure I was being reasonable (and both of my beta readers told me I'd succeeded). Their response to that started, "We don't know how you could have written such a mean-spirited letter."
The situation went downhill from there.

I'm so excited! I was their last interview, and the director of the school was there, so after my sample lesson, the principal asked me if I wanted the job, and I did!
It's a great school, and I'm getting a great salary...I'm SO excited. I get to develop my own curriculum -- anything I want. The principal is all "the more creative, the better! Take risks!"
