    “You looking forward to tonight?” CJ straightened Owen’s bowtie and stepped back to admire him. His husband always looked good, and he was stunning in formal wear. At times, clothes did make the man. “Yeah, this is what you’d call one of those bucket list things. I mean, how many people get to watch a Bolshoi Ballet performance live, while getting VIP treatment?” Owen ran a hand over his jawline while turning his face side to side in front of the mirror. The smile meant there were no stray
  2. These days, personal pronouns usage is in flux. I read one story with all gender neutral ones and couldn't get comfortable with it. I wonder if this is a passing trend, or if the next generation will adapt. Definitely a bit harder for someone older, like me, to unlearn years of usage. As you can probably tell, I'm reading and enjoying your posts. I've even pointed a couple of authors in this blog's direction while helping them with their stories. Keep it up, Myr.

    I was in college, in NYC for a friend's 21st birthday, and more interested in partying. I'm pretty sure it was a Sunday matinee and our little group was hungover. Just looked up dates. A couple of years later, on a Monday, I was lucky enough to see Dreamgirls the night after Jennifer Holiday won a Tony. I remember a hell of a long ovation when she first came on stage.

    @Bre Czaroux Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one. As for what's coming up next, we have a ballet performance, a reception at the Russian embassy, and a ski trip to Colorado. I mean, what could happen that might be interesting? LOL

    Not that I would ever have a character of mine say something impolite or politically IN-correct, but I may have heard someone say something about cats in relation with Vietnamese food. Vietnamese cat tacos, anyone?

    Oh man... I just got a memory from left field. Sweeny Todd on Broadway with Angela Lansbury. That's all I remember. Nice show, but it didn't hook me.

    You really ought to stay away from restaurants with no cats in the area...
  9. I wonder if McDonald's in Mexico sell Jarritos?
  10. You think he'd ask for a Diet Coke with that?

    Since the invention of personal calculators, arithmetic trips most youngsters. (those under 60)

    LMAO I remember CJ insisting the no-phones-at-dinner rule be modified because he was upset he missed Thiago's initial message.

    Out of the group that attended Walls, Thiago was a year older than most of them and Patrick was a couple of years younger. So yes, in 2027, CJ, Harley, Brad, and Chipper celebrate their 30th. As far as a globally live-streamed event, stop peeking at my outlines!
  14. Considering one of my main characters' a marine (Brett) and a younger jarhead has been a hit in CDMX (Austin) I found McDonald's offering what some consider an homage to the Marine Corps (Land, Air, and Sea meal) I'm curious to try it but doubt I could eat the whole thing. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/off-duty/2022/01/28/did-mcdonalds-just-release-a-marine-corps-burger/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Air Force DNR: Recurring Campaign 2021 2022-01-28&utm_term=Editorial - Air Force - Daily News Roundup

    The type of detail I often highlight. Fabricio's birth was more important. LOL

    We do get a mention of Owen's 30th in CDMX since they end up canceling the diving trip to Belize.

    I had to look at my spreadsheet... Thiago's is in 1996. Early April Fabricio was born in February. CJ's birthday, because is right before Christmas, I usually mention. Others I jump around. Interestingly, I have two stories planned revolving around Cesar's 50th and Chipper's 30th. Whole stories not chapters.!
  19. Too damn cold for reptilians!
  20. @kbois Thought of you yesterday while I patrolled my yard, machete in hand, searching for fallen iguanas. I planned on decapitating any I ran across before they warmed up. Alas, it was all for naught. Haven't seen even the baby ones running around.
  21. I know it's your kid, but there are hungry alligators all over the Orlando area. Just saying...

    My spreadsheets get more convoluted whenever I write a new chapter!

    There have been times when my memory and spreadsheets have failed me and before I go read over chapters, I ask 1810. She's been able to clarify whatever I was looking for more often than not.

    I'm impressed with how quickly you answered. Now, part two of the test. What about Thiago and his son?

    You already got the right answer, but I have to ask... Ritch in 1992? LOL That would make him the same age as Owen instead of ten years younger!
