Well...That was certainly a kick in the pants, having to leave in the middle of the night as the world you knew falls apart. A chance at love gone up in smoke and flames, leaving in the detritus of the disaster, a traveling companion, you'd rather kick to the curb...

Poor Cosmo, he is suffering from what we describe as a failure to launch...

Talk about falling into a cesspit and coming out smelling like a rose...what is the price they will have to pay for the witch's assistance???

Games were never like that when I was a wee lad, how in the heck do I get in as a substitute???? Tackle me...dang it!!!!

Right on brother!!!! Just what was Den doing at the game????

Am I the only one to get the joke???

Good on Alex, it will be interesting to see how the aftermath of the fight is handled...If it were up to me and any sensible adult, Coach Pervert would be hitting the bricks without a reference...Sam Anderson and his minions need to be suspended, expelled and informed they are no longer with the team... the subs used as replacement players...Alex, there's hidden depths there and I am curious to see how things shake out with him... As to dinner with Baron Pittsburg, I would let him know that other higher-ups are aware of the dinner if it should turn ugly...Like dropping Prince George's name....I am of the opinion that this is simply a feeling out the new guy dinner...who knows, he may have a bridge to sell that goes over the Ohio River....

I completely agree, now what was it you said???

All I can say is...

I'm glad to see the witch next door get a bit of comeuppance, enjoyed the low-key thanksgiving as well...I'm glad to know I am not in the minority as to limiting pranks either...

Well, more red herrings...they seem to be multiplying like bunnies....Will the killer go after Tom???

I loved this freaking chapter...I wasn't sure about Liam but now that he has crossed the gay Rubicon I am looking forward to the next chapter, I am hoping the spare bedroom becomes available for Mike's mother as she recovers from her chemo... Now...I have to wonder...just what does a squirrel sound when he busts a nut????

Truly an idyllic pastoral setting and a perfect place to grow up!!!

Our little mouse Marco, and I have had to realize my distaste for him, has faded away, is flush with all the issues that come with puberty. When days are long and thoughts of where one belongs are longer, it is very difficult to see the trees for the forest... Marco is wise beyond his years, as with his drawings, he is very perceptive, if understandably lacking in self-confidence. One hopes he can find the patience, that love might come knocking on his door soon, and perhaps...just somehow...a proper outlet for his talents, finds him!!!

Not sure how I want to respond to this but to say your understanding, at least going back to the facts on the ground in 1978 are so freaking off base... I had/lost a boyfriend who thought a stint in Uncle Sams army would convince his family he was, for the lack of better words...Normal...needless to say, we had long discussions over this decision...he thought once his term of service was over, there wouldn't any of those 'awkward family discussions'...life for us would be glorious... He lost his life in a high-speed accident on the autobahn, one that could have been avoided...he was licensed... and followed the rules...the other driver was found to be at fault, and he was licensed...and because of stupidity...as a native while he was licensed to drive, it just was a stupid decision made at the wrong time... You've made an assumption that simply does not hold water....

The old adage that, "No good deed goes unpunished" certainly applies to Fred here!!! Why do I think Sebastian isn't going down quietly.....

Glad to see both Nathan and Brohm understand each other a bit better and see the issues they need to work on...it is critical that Nathan get to the bottom of what is causing his nightmares...

As seminal chapters go, this was simply spot on...what a treat to see the growth of all so aptly demonstrated in their successes!!

I second the motion Mr. Moderator....

There's no moss growing under these folks' feet!! Looking forward to seeing the improvements in place!!

And the portfolio keeps growing, I suspect when the owner of Fountain House realize he's lost most of his staff, he will be a tad easier to deal with and amenable to meeting the offered price!!! Looking forward to the next!!

All I got is the author is using....a

Then how would you explain Jamie's first encounter with the Minister for/from Wanking and the specter, or the second one??? I agree it would be just the plot twist, but then why go through all of the above, the training etc.??? Unless...humm...it is to fully develop Jamie's powers for further nefarious purposes....

Welcome back and thanks for sharing this with us. I am looking forward to the remaining chapters!!!
