Cute story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6TEwb82LeM&list=TLt-vMNqTOtrI82bGqJawncuHtZEgERpeS

I felt bad reading your response to Tim and that there are only 6 reviews for the chapter. For all the work you do you deserve more feedback, but I am as guilty as any since I usually just read and don't even sign in these days. I like this story a lot (i like all the Will ones!) but I am afaid as we march to the actual 9-11, it will be necessarily somber. I was too young in 2001 to fully appreciate how big a deal it was, but as I got older and friends brothers or fathers went out on duty to Iraq and Afghanistan I began to get it more. Anyway, I like it when Will hooks up with guys close to his age as long as they are not losers (tony). Scott creeps me out.

Especially to my two dads, the only two I've ever really known. Love you two so much, thanks for everything!

I think for a 13 year old, Will is pretty big for his britches. Scott (or whatever his name used to be) is possibly still in danger and Brad needs to be a father once in a while who says no and sets limits, not someone who wants to be Will's buddy or have Will like him. Will needs to be told, there are matters that can't be talked about and even talking about why can't be talked about.

Chapter 26 for Will and Berto. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX6iOHczVA4

You are going to be on Tim's shit list (can I say shit?) for calling the Excelsior, the "Westin".

The surprise trip should have been to Biarritz, not Rome so Will could surf. It would have been fun to have Stef on the beach flirting with French surfers, sipping white wine and going to the casino at night with Will in tuxedos. Boys in tuxedos are hotties.

Happy Birthday Owl! remember that only very, very bad owls eat cute little fishes

I think they prefer "Persian"

NPH was hilarious, who knew he could sing and dance like that.... or Hugh Jackman for that matter. But I was most impressed by Daniel Radcliffe. I can't imagine how long it took to get this dance routine down and it is just one of the numbers in the show. I guess I've never really thought about how tough it has to be to be a Broadway musical actor. You have to be full of energy and up for 8 shows a week. http://www.youtube.com/user/GuilbeauxFan#p/u/5/69WpCBLrdSQ

Not sure what high school you went to, but I know a lot of guys who took it in high school. They were guys whose families wouldn't accept less than 4.4 and above type grades in an AP heavy schedule because they are supposed to go to Harvard or Stanford and become doctors. I have a close friend at a school with 28 National Merit Scholar Semi-finalists, over 500 students in the school are in AP classes and most take 2 or three, some have 4. They are all looking for any edge.

Ah i see a young thug making his way back to California after he helps the guys.
