You made me smile. I don't follow these stories, but I do have a character about to enter the CIA. Let me know if you run into a good looking, black kid named Silas. LOL

Thank you! I had Harley get serious a couple of chapters ago, and we see it a bit in this one also. The Squad's about to enter the real world and it shows. But wealthy, good-looking, millennial, gay men will still part like it's 1999 if given the opportunity.

And people say I'm harsh... You have to take into account their New Yorkers! The always think they know it all.

Thanks, bud.

And why would that make a difference? Shouldn't we always vote for the most qualified person regardless of political party affiliation? Someone's probably going to say they wished he was a Democrat! People who vote straight party lines need to realize there are good, qualified individuals on both sides. Except for Trump. He's an ass no matter what party he belongs to.

You guys kept asking for babies, I gave you babies. Happy now? LOL Astley had a bunch of hits with his first album, but I don't recall if he ever put out a second one.

This one I enjoyed writing. Although I've shared some gay history before, I felt the Stonewall 50 celebrations were too important to skip.

Was it national news back then? I was 11 and living in Puerto Rico back then. I remember watching coverage of RFK and MLK's murders but not this. For further details on the eye candy, google almost any circuit party. The Fire Island Morning Party started it all. I wanted to be between CJ and Colt, leaning against the wood beam, shirtless and drinking!

Thank you! Told you last chapter to pack your bathing suit and your flip-flops, Don't put them away, you'll need them next chapter too, I haven't been to Fire Island in a couple decades, but the memories helped me. Everything I've written about CJ is plausible because of events 50 years ago. In a way, the entire series pays homage to those who rioted in 1969.

Thank you! I think Doc and Dash are the last two of the Elite who had not been included in this book. Took me a while but found a spot for them. Yes, you read correctly. This chapter covers late June 2019. I'm writing in the future and it scares the heck out of me.

I did have CJ refer to 2019 as baby palooza year. After your suggestion they move to NYC yesterday, Owen's comments about the city came to mind. You still think they'd fit in? Senators have to be at least 30 yo. That means the late 2020s or early 2030s. Maybe by then, DC will be a state? I may want to wait until then to send him to Congress.

LMAO What brought on the sudden love?

@Bft LMAO- You perv! We were simply trying to warm ourselves up!

“What up, Legless?” On his first full day back in Washington, CJ stopped by Walter Reed Medical Center to visit his injured friend. “You dipshit.” Brad’s laughter was contagious. He bumped fists with a chuckling CJ and adjusted his position on the bed. “I betcha the stinkin’ fuckin’ Arab who planted that IED had no idea it would lead to me getting a new nickname.” “You’re in mighty good spirits.” CJ sat on the bed’s edge next to the soldier, delighted to find him in a happy mood. Three w

A Kennedy did it first. Then Clinton. You think CJ and Ozzie would make good New Yorkers? Wait! Don't answer that until you read tomorrow's chapter. Fortuitous timing.

@dughlas Yo do know DC's not a state, right? Washington doesn't get to elect senators.

It does feel strange. I never imagined it would go for this long or that the books would be so popular on GA over the past few years. I posted the first four books on Nifty and yesterday I had an e-mail from a guy in Aldinga Beach, South Australia. He discovered CJ recently and binge read what I posted on the other site between 'family obligations and uni.' That type of reaction has been the greatest. I explained there were a few more books, gave him the link to the series on GA, and invited him to join us. I hope he does and I get to hear from him again. I set out to write a light-hearted, positive tale and ended up with a saga that at times kept tissue companies in business. I hope I elicited laughter and joy along the way. CJ, Ozzie, the Squad, and the Elite will be a part of my life forever. Hopefully, a few readers will feel the same when it's over.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please. The final chapter of Georgetown: Goodnight, My Angel is in the can. The entire book is now loaded into GA. For the next three months, I'll publish one-a-week and twiddle my thumbs the rest of the time.

Really, really nice announcement to wake up to. Congratulations, Parker. The next cafecito is on me to celebrate.

Ritchie's birthday is 7 July 2002 The idea for the shaved heads came from elementary school kids. I watched a report on how an entire class buzzed their heads off when a classmate lost his due to chemotherapy. Owen's a good fit. He's a keeper.

The pillow talks between the dads started as a literary device allowing me to explain or expand certain things. I liked them so much I used them through most of this book. I wish I could have had parents like them.

Each time I include anything about guns, I get hate mail. LOL Not really, but CJ's position isn't entirely popular with most of the readership. I don't mind. Actually, I prefer people complain about CJ being opinionated and decisive, instead of him being wishy-washy and indecisive due to the usual angst most readers saddle their teen characters with.

@Jaro_423 I'm glad you're not online all the time or you'd notice how long it takes me between replies. Once again I had to read the whole chapter. I like this one. Ritchie's moving to DC and CJ's being pursued by two presidential candidates. I'm sure the dads will be getting gray hairs in the near future.

I just let the characters borrow my soapbox now and then... LOL Those type of discussions were not something I was involved in at that age. I was too damn closeted in high school. Times have changed a lot too. It wasn't until I was in my thirties I was comfortable sitting to drinks with friends and discussing sexual matters.

@Jaro_423 Hopefully, any tears shed this chapter were not sad ones this time. I really enjoyed reading Ritchie's reaction again.
