    I always try to surround CJ with interesting people. Ugo was created so he could provide the background on the effect of the 1995 World Cup on South Africa's black population. His comments are partially based on the movie and a few interviews I read about it.

    There are 30 more chapters to this story. You never know when a ginger might show up. I was delighted when I discovered how important that poem was at the Air Force Academy while researching Cadet. With this chapter, I set the stage for CJ and Ritch to talk about it next time they see each other.

    Thank you, Jeff. This was a fun chapter to write, I'd been waiting forever to reveal why CJ liked Rugby. Whenever I get to have my characters discuss sports it's a good day. LOL

    “Go change. I’ll finish cleaning.” CJ pushed Owen out of the kitchen. Otherwise, the man would linger and insist on helping. “Head over now, and we’ll meet you at the park when I’m done. Weather’s nice, I’ll slip on shorts and a t-shirt, and dress Liebe the same.” Although they had not expected to be out late the previous evening, CJ and Owen had insisted Trixie Newman spend the night and join them for Sunday breakfast. Because Owen had a game with his new rugby team—the expat group from Oc

    Chapter 5

    Tomorrow.... (BTW, I've read your CJ series and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I have to admit I'm a little behind. I don't have much time for reading when I'm in the middle of writing/editing/posting, all while trying to work. I'll get back to it. I promise!) Your next chapter is published tomorrow, Thursday. The chapters in the current CJ series are published each Friday. Readers, like me, who really enjoy both of you excellent writers will have a feast taking us over the holidays. Hooray! I may bring more than one dish to the feast. 😁 Did you know CJ turns 24 on Dec 23, 2021? And that's it for my story. Don't want to highjack the comment section.

    Chapter 5

    Then you know I ended Summer with several cliffs. A major traffic accident, a shooting, an arrest, and a breakup. The fact I survived is a credit to GA readers being forgiving. I understand, I'm publishing one story, working on 5 others (writing, outlining, casting) and I'm ignoring a commitment to edit a story for another week.

    Okay, I'm hooked. Next chapter, please.

    Chapter 4

    Well done. The shift (pun intended) in story arcs was smooth helped by Ben and his situation being interesting. BTW, total GOAT (in more ways than one) move with the previous chapter's cliffy. Switching gears before resolving it took guts and what I assume was pure evil intent. Right up my alley. PS I've kept readers waiting for two years to resolve unfinished business. 😁

    Chapter 1

    Loved the Orioles and Camden Yard references; I grew up rooting for the Os and made a special trip to DC/Baltimore when the stadium first opened. I wonder if Boog Powel still has his BBQ pace there. The intoxicating aroma permeated the cheap seats. The Rouse Company developed Innerharbor. They also did Southstreet Seaport in NYC and Bayside Marketplace in Miami. Your story has me intrigued.

    Air

    Sad but beautiful in its simplicity.
  11. I just finished binge watching Lost in Space on Netflix. The reboot's a hell of a lot better than the original.

    A Pipe-Dream

    That was captivating. Each dream an exotic location but home is where we find rest.
  13. Loved the street names! The story has a Dickensian feel to it; it made me think of a Christmas Carol even before the play was mentioned.

    All I'll remember is lesbian chicks being called old hens... 😁
  15. Nobody has ever used that word to describe me. 😔
  16. Thank you. You made me smile.

    See what happens when you disappear? We all talk about you behind your back. Wait, scratch that. We talk about you no matter what. You should be proud, I called on everything you've taught me during the quarter hour it took me to write, edit, and post. Blame @Valkyriefor instigating this.

    Northman's gonna need to be slapped down. Hard. Whether it's the ambassador, CJ, or someone else, it has to happen.

    Living with regrets can be hell. Good writing, painful reading. Happy Christmas, Northie.

    CJ plans to display a large collection of firearms visible to any callers. I fear Liebe and the boys may not be able to date until they're in their thirties...
  21. I think I read the series had over 4 thousand named characters. If they pare them by say half for TV, I'm still gonna have issues keeping track of them.

    I'm not entirely certain what Northman's reasons are for his antipathy. Jealousy may be a big part of it. He already mentioned CJ's education, so he must have attended a lower ranked school. The fact someone's jumped right into the limelight within weeks of arriving in the city could be irksome. It probably disrupts his precise plans and life. He'll be around for a bit, so we may find out more.

    There may be a couple of travelogues in coming chapters. Mexico City's an interesting city, quite a contrast between affluent residents and the poor. My one visit was a couple of decades ago and although I was able to explore a bit, I'd do a better job of it today. Oh well...

    And here I though writing detailed chapters again would be enough. I don't know about a 10k chapter before Christmas, but I'll see what I can do. Since the next one's set to publish on Friday, check with me on Thursday to see what I come up with.

    Can you imagine three boys, born a month apart, related, and living next to each other? Liebe being a couple of years older will serve as inspiration, teacher, and even disciplinarian. I pity the parents when those three reach puberty and hormones ooze from their pores. Watch out Washington's teen girls.
