    I think this was one of your best chapters. Sure it's about CJ but there's more than that. We've known for a long time that when they get to know CJ people genuinely like him, with a few exceptions. This chapter reenforces that. The embassy staff very much like and respect him because he's himself, not some spoiled rich brat, with them. Still trying to determine what the real cause of Stephen's animosity is. Maybe he's deeply closeted, in denial and has dreams and desires that he can't accept.

    That is a modern thought, convent had a more broad original meaning. Consider the word convention which shares a common root.
  3. Doing okay, thanks.
  4. That's the plus for some of us, I wouldn't have my son and dil.
  5. It was. It's warm and muggy here so light meals are nice.
  6. Good choice. We had salad too, mixed greens with pan seared chicken tenders, fresh asparagus, peas and tomatoes. Mum had a few blue cheese stuffed olives on hers. I had crispy onions and croutons.

    He day walks too.
  8. That looks tasty. However, I'm not much fond of jalapenos, they don't much like me either. Please sir, could I have mine without the special sauce and just the chipotle jam?
  9. Get you to bed young man ...
  10. I could, when I next get to Philadelphia. It's in the Fairmont section of the city and no longer used to hold convicts. For $19 you can take a tour. It's said to be haunted. I'm guessing any food lying about would be less than appetizing.
  11. That place isn't far from my home in PA.
  12. I'm sure they are but ... my thoughts echo Albert, double starch may not matter so much to the under or barely 30 crowd but those of us in our mature years need to be aware.

    They won! They won! Ohhhhhh, we knew that already. Go Red! CJ should ask Stephen if he'd like to be in one of the NYT photos. He could scowl disapprovingly. It's interesting how more of the embassy personnel are getting in Northman's face in support of CJ. In a way I feel sorry for him. I suspect he lives a rather boxed existence and often is disappointed. That would make an excellent family picture but if I recall correctly there will be a couple additions shortly so it's best that it needs to wait. Thanks for the pleasant surprise.
  14. Take your time.
  15. Slowpoke, maybe if your legs were longer you could catch up with the adults. I know, I know more sanctions.
  16. Uhm, you forgot bacon. I have to be honest, I like both burgers and mac 'n cheese but I'd rather not have them together in a sandwich.
