All these people are so completely twisted. "oh baby, I love you, that is the greatest sex ever _ _ _ _ _ _ (fill in name)". Then they meet someone else, "oh baby, I love you, that is the greatest sex ever _ _ _ _ _ _ (fill in name)". If my boyfriend had a sex addiction problem and he was in counseling, the last place I'd take him is a Hollywood sex party. It would be like taking an alcoholic to a bar after an AA meeting.

I don't think we ever found out why Jason lost his job at Claremont High or why Viv threw him out. Jason had some dang serious issues in CAP #1. 1973 doesn't seem that long ago, but a kid who was curious about "things" had no place to go. That is good and bad. Because of the Internet and social media, I think kids today who are Brad's age (10 yrs 9 mnths) know way too damn much, see way too damn much and do way too damn much. There isn't much innocence left.

Roger has issues, but I think Stef does too, but then that hardly makes Stef unique in CAP. Stef has no idea who he likes or loves.
-
We stripped off our clothes and took a refreshing shower and he fucked me with abandon. I loved it. I loved him. Maybe too much. I've read all the CAP books before, but I forget how we get where we are to where we are going. Should be interesting.

Gail reminds me of one of my friend's Italian nonna. They are landed gentry in Central California, but Angie is so down to earth. Gail also reminds me of a cross of Kathy Bates from Titanic and Debbie Reynolds in How The West Was Won.

Paris and Florence (or Bellagio), Rome irritates me.
-
17 books in CAP, untold chapters and millions of words, this is probably my all-time favorite. Brad and Stef become blood brothers, Stef visits his old apartment and a gives a woman with a small son a relatively paltry $2,000 for Stef, but life changing for the woman and her son.

Great, a 13 year old houseboy ha ha.
-
John Paul and Stefan would be nightmares for HR departments in 2023. I wonder if CAP will ever get there?

Even in 1973 the cost of living in the Midwest was considerably cheaper than living in California, especially the Bay Area. The same thing goes for Seattle and the other western cities that Crampton Construction had opened offices in. If Jim were to stick to his original plan, he would not just lose Isidore, but all of his western branch managers and they would take a lot of the office employees and contractors with them. But I get how tough it must have been to live in a dying city like Claremont. Jim cannot accept that the Midwest's time of driving the economy is over, and the South and West are rising.

Not just French youth, but in a city of 9,000,000, they keep meeting relatives....
-
Roger was still amazing in bed, and he still showed absolutely no signs of talking about his sexuality. That frustrated me, Why? Why are people so hung on labels? What business is it of Stef's or anyone else how Roger identifies? It is possible to be straight and love a gay man and want to be with him. Isn't that what happened with Andre? JP and Isidore need to fly to Claremont and meet with Jim, face to face.
-
Fame didn't turn Peter into a wuss, he was always a wuss. That is how he got into trouble in Princeton with what's his face.
-
Stef disappoints me that he leaves a 10 year old alone in an NYC museum just so he can have sex. Is there a single male in the CAP series who doesn't think with his dick? I'd send Nick to St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys and Bitty to Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy & Comvent.

Ah, the billion dollar blow job. Without the loans Stefan may not have been able to carry out all his plans. The other side of the coin is, if you were a large land/property owner in Silicon Valley as it took off it was hard to not get rich; throw in the venture capital and bank rolling projects out of Stanford and you have an unbeatable path to fortune. As to Sam. What an ass JP is. So what if he got a girl pregnant, so what if he married her. JP is married for gawd's sake and that doesn't slow him down. If you want someone to behave like an adult and not a stupid college kid, date adults and not a stupid college kids. Stop screwing bellhops in hotels because you can and it is fun and focus on looking for meaningful relationships.
-
This is why John Paul should be dating peers, not youngsters, but he is too insecure to date an equal, it has to be someone he can control, either financially or professionally. It is a pattern that repeats over and over in his life so far.

It is three years still until Stag's Leap Wine Cellars rocks the wine world by beating Château Mouton-Rothschild, Château Montrose, Château Leoville Las Cases and Château Haut-Brion in a blind wine tasting in Paris to win the gold medal. The California wine scene and business exploded after that and the boom has never really stopped. Keeping the winery/vineyard makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons; Stef is French so he appreciates wine, building homes intertwined with the vineyard will make them more valuable and Roger is hot 😁
-
Obviously JP has kept in touch with his Chicago "friends".
-
I made a comment to that effect in the last chapter of 1968.
-
It is funny that Ace was a pretty big minor character in the last book, and this one and maybe Be Rad and then he sort of disappears. We see him at Sunday dinner sometimes and the holidays, but other than that, Andre Charles disappears.
-
Crosscurrents was the only AP story I read, but talked a lot back in the "old days". I was in his Yahoo Group too.
-
I am with Adam. I think JP was awful from early in CAP, all the way through this story and Sam is worse, as we shall see again one day. I've never liked the Hayes boys very much (Jeff, Robbie, Matt & Zach), but a lot of what Jeff became was JP's fault. JP controlled and manipulated Jeff and used him for his own purposes under the guise of love.
-
Only 13 states held primaries in 1968, the majority of the delegates were not awarded through primaries. If McCarthy had won the nomination, he would have been slaughter by Nixon worse than McGovern was in 1972.
-
JP killed Jeff as surely as if he'd held a gun against his head and pulled the trigger.
-
This chapter makes JP's $100,000 donation to Exode seem rather foolish.
