    Or was it total misdirection? Maybe an outright lie? I'm not saying anything else until after the next chapter posts.

    You know how that family's about nicknames. CJ slapped that one on his nephew the first time the kid went swimming. Their big, annual motorcycle trip in 2019 was to Laconia Bike Week and New England. Funny you should mention motorcycles. We have one more trip coming up before the book's over.

    I had to remove NYE on Times Square after security tightened. My bladder won't stay quiet for that long and I'm not ever wearing a diaper! I could get a room at the Marriot Marquis, but I'm too cheap to pay whatever they charge for that night.
  4. @Will Hawkins You can always leave a comment on the chapter before reading what other people had to say. LOL

    Harley speechless? Get a grip. Death may be the only thing to quiet that one down.

    With that as the opening line and 'Lucy's pregnant' as the closing one, the rest of the chapter would have been easily forgotten! As for hidden contest, just remember I don't always reveal details right away. Hell, there are hints of things to come in Summer that have not yet been fulfilled!

    Harley's reaction: "That's cool, bruh. Wanna smoke a doobie?"

    I had to delete my initial response; it gave away some details revealed in the next chapter. Easily confused here. Very good about Lincoln! He returns next chapter for a social visit and we'll hear more about him before this is all over. The title of my next book is... You ready? It's been written for a while and is currently in Renee's hands for editing. The title is: Dolphin Delivery!

    And Cesar was complaining about being too young to be a grandfather! About that IF, you think Lucy stepped out on him? Those two have been dating for like 4 years or something like that!

    It's funny how some readers miss details, and others try to find significance in paint color or something similar. I'm getting better at misdirection.

    Very! You have any idea how hard it was to deflect when people asked or got close to figuring it out? LOL
  12. @Will Hawkins I'm certain Brits can understand the accent. They may have some problem understanding someone from Appalachia of an inner city anywhere in the US. Whenever I watch sporting broadcasts from England or Australia, I turn on the Closed Captioning feature on my TV. I end up doing the same for Game of Thrones!

    The picture I took during a trip to Washington. That's one of Walls' buildings. The other one is a modern glass and concrete thing. The Roman numerals to the right are the book number in the series.

    Left hand only. The right one was busy celebrating National Masturbation Month.

    THERE ARE FIVE MORE CHAPTERS LEFT IN THE CURRENT BOOK. Can you hear me now?

    I end up reading chunks of old chapters when new readers comment on them. Remember when readers were worried about CJ and Ritchie when I introduced the kid? Or when his parents died? We only get glimpses, but the boy's come a long way. I did make him sound like a kid in the beginning.

    Thank you! This chapter had a few things going on so I'm slowing the pace down a bit in the next two.

    That's something I've been trying to convey all along. CJ started small Veterans' Day events and an AIDS Quilt display. He's escalated his community involvement and activism always taking care of his 'family' first. Can you imagine what he'll be like in a few more years?

    The corruption in public institutions may be one more reason for CJ to run for office! I'm not done with Brad yet but you may have to wait a bit to find out more about him. As for Ritchie, I'm sorry to tell you that yes. you'll have to wait. But the next chapter will be to your liking, only two scenes. One with Ritchie and a second one with Lincoln.

    Thanks, Mike- This was one of those chapters that set the stage for the future. The relationship with Bradley Cooper's a little stronger. Gaga and Lincoln are new characters who will return, and Ritchie and Lucy face some serious decisions. Tune in next week and some questions will be answered.

    CJ's initial reaction is still to slash and burn, but he's learning. Having Owen and his dads around help calm him down. You'd think two intelligent teens, one bound for an Ivy League school and the other one for the Air Force Academy wouldn't be faced with a problem most often associated with lower income/education people. At least we know those two are fertile LOL

    Cris, take a look at the advice I gave Jeff above. Lincoln's a new character and we find out a bit about who he is in this chapter. We also know why he's around. I keep telling people most of my stories can't be skimmed over, too many details nestled in the tale.

    LMFAO - Careful what you ask for. I did tell you there was more Ritchie coming. CJ was ready to bash heads in when he found out about the extortion attempt. A little interaction with the dads and he thought of another way to solve the problem. Our boy's growing up and learning. Let's see which side comes out with Ritchie. Okay, I've decided to come out of the closet. I'm a tease... Pheeew! I feel better already. The grandchildren reference will be clear some time in the future. More importantly, there are several Easter Eggs in this chapter. Hints about things to come or maybe not. It all depends on how much I want to write. Look at it this way, it took two books before I actually disclosed what was in the letter Liz gave the guys!

    Moi? A tease? When Mann edited the chapter, he left a comment about how they weren't the kind of studs most of us look for. You have to admit it was a pretty good opening, someone without a dirty mind would immediately realize we were in a construction zone. I picked the song because I felt it would fit Gaga singing it and because of how CJ felt about the lyrics. Shallow was just too damn tempting not to use. When the chapter was written and edited, I told Mann I'd delete the Oscar reference if it didn't win. I made an informed decision and got lucky.

    At least CJ didn't get anyone pregnant when he was 17. Gay boys face different issues than straight ones do, We find out more next week!
