  1. @scrubber6620 Yevgeny seems like a complicated person. Yeah he's a raunchy operator, but he could turn out to be an asset. The ambassador did insist his invitation to the wine tasting not be revoked. The intrigue and plot within a plot I think is part of any diplomat assigned overseas. But grownup games can leave someone hurt. Interestingly enough, CJ makes a comment in the next chapter about not being worried about breaking the law since he and Owen have diplomatic immunity.
  2. @spyke LMAO - Readers don't trust Yevgeny and dislike Stephen. When did CJ's world get so complicated. By now I'm sure he's asking for his rainbows and unicorns to return.

    “Did you know Columbus actually landed on that Bahamian island on twenty-one October and not on the twelfth?” Owen picked up the pacifier Liebe spat out, dusted it off against his shirt, and stuck it back in her mouth. “I know he named it San Salvador even though the natives called it something else. You mean to tell me history books got something else wrong?” CJ had the window seat while Liebe occupied the center one between her fathers. “Yes and no. It was twelve October in the Jul
  4. It was a bone. We ended up discovering an entire skeleton behind the brickwork and in the process solved a century old Christmas murder mistery. The End PS doesn't everybody think of bloody murder at Christmas? LOL
  5. Thanks, Dave. But you have to check in tomorrow to get the rest of those 10k you wanted. I just couldn't deliver them all together. Hope you have a good day tomorrow and you get to spend time with your little man.
  6. Exactly what I was hoping to portray. It's all a learning curve Nope. He's named in honor of someone I've encountered who's indeed an annoying gnat. You sound smarter than the average bear, I think even Austin's gonna be careful around Domogarov.

    Then follow orders. Lots of water amd rest. I'll try to help by giving you another chapter tomorrow.
  8. Interesting... Not sure how I'll cover it, but I know Liebe and her siblings will be told the truth about Santa early in their lives. Could be when CJ claims he's a dirty old man because he sees her while she's sleeping and knows when she's awake. Alternatively, Santa shows up, CJ brandishes Lola, accuses the old man of being a pedophile, and has him arrested.
  9. LMAO - Yeah, I'm keeping him around for the giggles. Poor man can object to CJ and his endeavors as much as he wants, but he'll fail.
  10. @scrubber6620 Ideas and projects can whither and die if not properly supported. Biden's finding that out right now. CJ embraced Owen's concept and reached out to the family, Bezos, and Lujambo to assist him. The ambassador came in out of her own volition. Without all that support, I doubt the technology centers would come into existence. Austin's one of those characters I liked so much I've decided he won't die and will actually return in a future story. We'll see how close he gets to CJ, Owen, and Liebe at the end of the story. The dads' visit will definitely be enjoyable. and as for getting a Christmas present from me, maybe. Are you on the naughty or nice list?
  11. Damn, I kinda forgot about Domogarov, didn't I. Better solve that issue. I just checked my outline; the wine tasting takes place in Chapter 12. Just around the corner.
  12. @Clancy59 I'm exhausted just reading your list. And here I am, eating pistachios, reading and replying to comments. You should wake up a quarter hour earlier tomorrow morning and check to see if Santa Carlos left you a present.
  13. I'm trying to show a more mature CJ deftly manipulating the encounter to swing the principal over to his side. With Northman, he's controlling his temper and I think biding his time; he must realize Northman's not going to be a thorn in his side permanently. Our guy's maturing and hopefully that comes across.
  14. But, but, but... If that were to happen we wouldn't have Stephen to kick around. And I kinda like doing that. He keeps this shit up, he's gonna make as many enemies as CJ makes allies.
  15. CJ's much more than a bureaucrat while Northman is limited in his scope. With every positive reaction CJ gets to whatever he does, Northman will resent him since he's unable to generate the same type of buzz and approval. I can't wait until CJ's had enough and snaps.

    Chapter 3

    Santa stealing gifts? Are his elves on strike again?
  17. I hope my time tomorrow, with brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews, is half as much fun. Merry Christmas, Cole.
  18. I'm cooking breakfast for myself tomorrow, but my brothers are in town and they're having a proper meal catered. As for too much time eating, I'm not making any promises Merry Christmas, Cris.
  19. Merry Christmas, my friend. I think Northman's entrenched in his position and we'll have to deal with him all the way to the end.
  20. CJ's a diplomat and he's putting his skills to good use. He's learning that if he makes something personal, his target's more likely to capitulate. A little rough description, but it is what it is.
  21. You liked the visual of the opening line, huh? LOL Northman I see as competent at his job but extremely insecure. When a young whippersnapper comes in and attracts all that attention, he's gonna feel threatened. His fiefdom's under attack, and he doesn't have many allies. Sucks to be him!
  22. Thank you, Jose. Hope you have a great Christmas. Check back tomorrow, I may have a present for you.

    Assuming everything went well since you're up and sound clear-headed. Did it? Go okay? Hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Safe travels, Def. It looks like neither you nor I will have a white Christmas this year. LOL Not that we have any chance of that any year down in South Florida. Hell, this year we'll be in the low 80s. Too bad I don't have the next Liebe in the Florida Keys adventure written yet, you could have test-read it to my little club. Oh well, sometime after the New Year.
