I'm glad you found it too. And that you're enjoying yourself! Thank you for all the praise and the comments.

@Jaro_423 His childhood wasn't bad, but the love he gets from his fathers is deeper. I see Lourdes as shallow and overly concerned with appearances. And yeah, I wouldn't want to be on his bad side either.

@Jaro_423 @drpaladin always had a way with words. His comments were always enjoyable.

Hang in there, Jamie. When it gets hard, remember the good times. Much love.

He better pick the State Department. Otherwise, my outline for a story covering his first overseas post will be worthless! NYC I could handle living in if I had CJ's money. LA not sure I'd want to. The Pacific's way colder than the Atlantic, and earthquakes don't give you days of warning like hurricanes do.

Baby? What baby?

Story dates are catching up to real life. A couple more chapters.
-
Don't you want the same lifestyle? I do! Not sure I'll ever go back to LA, but NYC I'd love to go every year for a few days. After meeting Defiance in April, I have another reason to visit.

I'm a Top Chef fan and IMO, Michael Voltaggio's been the hottest dude in the show.
-
I love the way you describe the chapter. And yeah, amidst all the fun stuff, CJ and Trip worked on both coasts.
-
Thanks, bud!
-
I try to pick spots people might like or I'm knowledgeable about. Lately, I've been slipping in a few with 'Owen-flavor' to them. Balance for CJ's usual fixation in architecture and history. Told ya the old guys would be back. Short appearance for the dads, but they'll return.

Like wasting good Scotch by diluting it with ice or water? Forget the bar, the restaurant! But in the age when I can pay with my Amex, and sometimes my phone, at a taco truck, some businesses refuse to pay credit card fees. I think they're facing extinction.

I'll take their tame any day! LOL The pace of the story's important so I try to have the energy by chapter fluctuate. Were I starting from scratch, I'd probably do more short chapters dealing with mundane life events.

New York City Serenade
Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in New York City Serenade
@Jaro_423 New York will feature prominently in the story. CJ will become a regular visitor. The apartment I discovered using real estate listings. I'm familiar with the building since friends own a place in it and it's where I stay during most of my trips. I wanted something on the East Side so I went with a familiar place. -
Wreck on the Highway
Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Wreck on the Highway
@Jaro_423 It's hard to comprehend the emotions involved when your own mother rejects you. I', certain it's not something CJ will ever forget. -
@Drewbie Harley owners/aficionados tend to be cliquish and look down on anything but bikes from the Milwaukee company. Jap bikes (rice burners) have always been looked down upon even if they're well built. During my first mid-life crisis I owned a Mazda MX5.

LMAO... Moi? CJ's tantrum shows he has a temper and isn't afraid to stand his ground when he feels he's right. It won't be the last time he locks horns with his parents. As for the titles, I tried to incorporate them into the story. It didn't always work for an opening line, but it usually at the beginning or the end. Oh, and humor will always feature prominently.

@Jaro_423 CJ and Orlando had sex. Hormone-driven, casual sex. No tenderness, no love-making, or anything like that. He got laid and that was the important part. A more meaningful encounter will have to wait. With many teens, their first time's in a car or who knows where; at least he had a bed in a house. I didn't want his first time to be anonymous but I didn't want it to mean a lot.
-
@Jaro_423 I tried to have CJ experience a lot of different things in these early chapters. All of that will play a part in shaping him over time.
-
@Jaro_423 The shirt is real. I wanted something different and the Donna Karan design screamed CJ when I saw it.
-
@Drewbie Didn't Harley say something about friends don't let friends ride rice burners?
-
Some people dread and despise speaking in public while others thrive on it. I think I showed which camp CJ belongs to in this chapter. Typo fixed, thanks.

César and Brett arrived the afternoon before Christmas. When CJ began planning his twenty-first birthday celebration, his fathers insisted on remaining in Washington. They told their son to invite his own friends instead. They would join him, Owen, and Ritchie the day after the dinner party, and the five would spend Christmas in Manhattan. “So, what’s the plan for what’s left of the day?” Brett put his feet on the coffee table and leaned back against his husband. The three younger men in the
