Not the shortest one in this book!

They won't move into the house until after this book's complete. I end this one with CJ's college graduation.

Soft jazz emanating from the speakers was the only sound in the apartment as CJ stared at his brother. Owen moved toward his husband with a glass of wine, and Ritchie squirmed in his chair before downing the remainder of whatever was in his. He met his brother’s eyes, but a moment later dropped his sight to the empty goblet. “Ozzie? Could I have a little more?” Owen nodded, fetched the bottle from the kitchen, and topped off the teen’s glass. “CJ? Are you going to say anything?” Ritchie’s

A schmear of cotta cheese? Yuck! Too runny! To this NON-New Yorker, it's always cream cheese. Preferably the one with chives or veggies.

@Will Hawkins Glad you're still enjoying the story. This book's still publishing so about twenty more chapters or so and you'll be all caught up!
-
@Will Hawkins Thank you. I'm always pleased when something I write evokes happy memories for readers.

@Will Hawkins The Secret Service in the US and their equivalent in other countries helps protect leaders but private security services have proliferated for the common man. Maybe not so much in the US, but in other countries, someone with CJ's wealth would most likely be followed by a bodyguard everywhere.

You sound practical... like the reader who questioned Ritchie getting a 15k watch for Christmas. If money's no object, and it isn't in this family, a Tesla's a better choice than a Ferrari or a Lotus. Owen being a rabid environmentalist had a lot to do with the vehicle choice.

The only way to outlive death is to do something worthwhile while we can. We can then live on in memory and in the people our actions influence.

Narrow town/row houses like the one I describe are common in older Washington neighborhoods. When I was researching where I was going to have them buy, the Capitol Hill area ticked off most of what I wanted: older homes near parks and close to a Metro station. The fact it's only a mile from the US Capitol was a bonus. If you google the address and use street view you can get an idea of what the house looks like.

LMAO What's a decade amongst friends?

You trained me well on THAT issue. I don't leave many for you to destroy.

I've always questioned authority and as I gain confidence as an author I've decided certain rules I'm not interested in following. My editors seem to give me leeway in certain areas and I'm not backing off. LOL

I've decided to henceforth ignore the rule not to end sentences in a preposition. The person who thought that one up definitely had too much time on their hands. I don't care if it follows an old Latin mandate. My writing, my rules. Anyone else has a grammar pet peeve? Maybe I'll learn about something else to ignore.

Over The Rainbow • Part VIII
Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Over The Rainbow • Part VIII
@Will Hawkins I read each comment about how her final day and death were moving with interest. Some people complained I dropped the ball and didn't 'milk' enough drama out of the events. Sometimes I hit readers over the head with things. At other points, I let the characters make a comment which I hope resonate with the audience. -

You're a better man than I am. I turned it off after a few minutes. Couldn't stomach much more. Trump's divisiveness will be his downfall one day soon. Hopefully sooner than later. -
@Will Hawkins I'm not even sure if the 'no-saluting-outside-uniform' is a proper policy. But I've read about the USMC practice a couple of times. The rule definitely does not apply to the President. Bush 41 was the last one to serve and every one since has saluted. I don't consider Bush 43's time in the National Guard real service since there's doubt he ever actually did.
-
That's what I've been saying! I've tried to show changes in a subtle way but if you read an early chapter right before one of the latest ones, the difference in attitude and behavior appears clear. My goal is for the story and the characters not to stagnate

@Will Hawkins I have a feeling there'll always be a dog or two around these guys.

Post your pictures on another site (I've used Facebook and Instagram) then post a link to the image on GA. It's how I keep sharing Throwback Thursday pics most weeks without hitting limits.

Lincoln will return. We don't know if they did or not, but we'll find out in the next chapter Not if they don't find out... Wake-and-bake's for Harley, I wouldn't be able to type if I did it. Y'all are just a bunch of pervs!

Happy Mother's Day! Since everyone's wondering, here's what really happened. Ritchie and Lucy drove out to the Virginia countryside looking for a place to park. They undressed and before Ritchie could anything, a saucer-like thing appeared above them. A shimmering cylinder of light streamed from the contraption and next thing you know, the teens are in a sterile-looking room strapped to recliners. The creature standing between then had two long appendages protruding from its midsection. They looked like twin penises. After the initial scream, both passed out. M-preg plot starts there.

LMAO... I can't. Wasn't born in the US!

Ooops, just realized the next book to be posted won't be Dolphin Delivery. There'll be a one chapter book after this one.
