    You have my permission to unread it and look at it again next week. Thank you and I'm pleased you've enjoyed it. It has been interesting, fun, and a learning experience to write it. The fact I can entertain a few people with my scribbling is both surprising and satisfying.
  2. B&B was awesome but remember that was almost 20 years ago. The Recovery Party Monday night was the best, if I describe what went on on the dance floor, GA would ban me for life. I remember Manny Lehman <sp> was the DJ and after that year he took off as a star. It ended soon after dawn and when I walked outside it was snowing. Great experience.

    Thank you, Dave. It's good to hear you feel I've improved since I started writing. That was about four years ago and I've tried very hard to assimilate the advice of more seasoned authors. I hope I never stop learning and improving.

    I think I'm repeating myself: I love hearing from you every week. I'll miss you until we return. Thank you.

    You don't always comment on chapters but whenever you do, you make me smile. Thank you for the continued support. I'll strive to bring them back better than we left them here.

    You can probably do more than one chapter a week; there's 130 of them excluding the two stand-alone stories. Since I'm now writing in the future, I may have to tackle an important event as a stand alone but I'm not making any promises. Thank you for reading, I'm glad I've brought you a little enjoyment over the past 3 1/2 years.

    You're welcome. And thank you for the continued support. Fridays have become a popular day for authors to post new stories/chapters; I may have to pick a different day next year to avoid the clutter. LOL

    Each of the four books covering CJ four years at Georgetown is different. This one focused on him and Owen and their relationship while the next one will bring back the Squad to play a central role. It won't be a romance but there may be a wedding or two in there.

    Thank you, Dugh. Long series tend to get monotonous and repetitious; I want to avoid that trap. Yes, there'll be frequent jaunts to NYC in the future but hopefully, each trip will be different. I also plan on tackling several topics I haven't touched so far.

    Patience, grasshopper. I think you'll enjoy what I have outlined so far when you read it.

    In 1970s commercials for Paul Masson wines, Orson Welles used a tagline which sticks in my mind: "We will sell no wine before its time." I follow a similar approach: "I will post no story until its time." I need to finish writing the next book and then it must go through editing. Since my editors are volunteers and my own time is limited, the long hiatus is necessary to produce a quality tale. I don't believe in posting anything until I've written the entire story.

    I've been to a few of the places I've taken CJ and Ozzie to but later in life. I didn't have the resources to do it at their age. Keep the faith brother. This too shall pass and we will rebuild.

    Hope I did Sydney justice when I took CJ and then Ritchie there. CJ's dads have encouraged him to travel while still in school; his time will be more restricted once he gets a job. There's a lot of places left in the US I'd like to take him but it has to fit into the story so the trip to New Orleans and Mardi Gras may have to wait.

    Thanks, mate. The boys will be in Southern Cal next time they hit the West Coast.

    What did you expect? Nobody can throw a party like a gay man!

    DUH! Now I get it! I've killed quite a few characters already, I plan on keeping CJ and Ozzie alive for a long time.
  17. Damn! That brings back memories of Alegria w/Junior Vazquez as the DJ. Even with the aid of chemicals, I could never last the entire event. The latest I left one of those overnight parties was in 2000 at the Black & Blue in Montreal. I remember catching the metro at Olympic Stadium at 9:00 a.m. along with a bunch of fellow zombies. It was cold and we were all wearing VERY little but the smiles on our faces told the story. I wanna be 30 again although I'll settle for 40 LOL

    You may want to take a look at the note at the end of chapter 12.

    I couldn't reply to this comment yesterday. I wanted today's post to be a surprise. Guess it worked.

    Damn! You're going to ruin my reputation! Mann made a couple of snotty comments on this chapter but the one I laughed at the most was " Aww….. " on the final comment by CJ. I'll have to work harder at not writing romance in the future.

    Thanks, Chris. The break will give us all a chance to recharge and get ready for what's to come. In the meantime, there's other good stories on GA to follow. Whenever I find a worthy one, I'll review it so look for my comments.

    Thank you, my friend. At least your lunch period won't leave you teary-eyed for a while.

    Thank you, John. To this day, it amazes me people have connected to my little tale the way they have. The geographic spread of the readership is quite satisfying. Never knew I had readers in Tasmania! It does reinforce the message I've tried to convey is universal even if the story is American-centric: working together we can make a difference in out world.

    Thanks, Chris. All the characters we love (and Damien) will return in the next installment.

    Thanks, Todd. Although politics won't play as big a part in the future as it did in Georgetown: Roar, we know CJ will continue to work against injustice and the threat of tyranny.
