I'm sure CJ will be on his best behavior, but if anyone could make him lose his cool during his own wedding, it may be Damien.
-
Thank you. You've described exactly what I was trying to do with Damien. Unfortunately, he'll be back.
-
Maybe it was too subtle for most readers to catch, but Ken and Damien were part of a continuing arc. In the last chapter, CJ lost it and the only thing he regretted was it leading to his dad resigning. During the photo shoot, he felt regret and apologized to Ken and the photographer. By the time we get to Damien, likely influenced by the surroundings and the company, he used words instead of fists. Of course, Ozzie keeping him on a short leash may have had something to do with it.

Mine too! I was reminded of it while traveling last week. No 5-star hotels for me.

Thank you, sir!

My personal guidelines- If you expose yourself, someone will laugh. If you share your art, someone will hate it. Write, paint, draw, photograph to please yourself. If others like it so much the better but you're the one person you must please. Accept criticism with grace. You don't have to agree with it, but there's no need to chew someone's head off because they express their opinion. No matter how wrong they may be

Nice surprise to wake up to! Welcome back, Leopards.

I'll leave my outlines to somebody in case I don't live long enough. CJ established he's stubborn about certain things in the incident Cesar mentions. He refused to say the pledge of allegiance because of the words 'under God.' I thought his reaction might be similar with the anthem thing but he only became militant about it because of Trump's comments. I also liked the contrast with how rah-rah patriotic he can be about his support for the military. I keep trying to flesh out a character who isn't one-dimensional and who doesn't fit a specific mold. I'm working on a blog entry on friendship and I think you might enjoy reading it. Look for it most likely on Monday.

Chipper, eh? I'm so glad all my boys have their own rooting section. I haven't spent the time describing him but I envision him as handsome and obviously he's successful. He's older and Cristina may be searching for a daddy figure. He might be great in bed, Who knows why we fall for certain people. I've fallen for the wrong one myself even when my friends knew all along they were jerks.

I totally forgot about that move. My, my, art imitating life imitating art. She was good, I'm looking at the "check" right now. I brought it home with me. Damien seems to hit a nerve with a lot of people. The model guy was just a horny toad (handsome and built but a toad.) If Myr, AJ, and crew ever get done with the updating and bug smashing maybe we can get a few more emoji.

I thought you liked it when I spanked you. Come on, give it your best shot. I can handle it. ( insert the old dancing emoji)

Commentary has been interesting on the first two chapters

It's good to be back. We had technical difficulties last Friday. I initially wrote that line to elicit one of my editore's entertaining, smart-assed remarks. Then I realized it could easily be used as a synonym for fist-bump and decided to keep it. Congratulations! You were the first one to notice. Tells me your mind must reside in the same low place mine does.

Crap! I'm exhausted just thinking about plotting and writing all that. Imagine if I really had to do it! There won't be anything that over the top taking place. The last wedding I wrote was when the dads got hitched and it was a bare-bones chapter. I'm planning a bit more for this one, but I think flying the entire guest list to a private island in the Bahamas will have to suffice. There were technical difficulties last Friday
-
LOL, sounds as if you've dealt with a Damien or two in your life!
-
Sorry you didn't find it interesting, Tony. Hopefully, future chapters will be more to your liking.
-
LOL I'm liking the fact what I envisioned Damien as is coming through loud and clear. Thanks for sticking around, Wes.
-
Damien has no idea who he's dealing with. He's so fixated on himself he can't conceive a 'kid' can handle money with grace.
-
I'm getting the feeling Damien's not going to be popular if he returns
-
Sorry about that. Technical difficulties with the post-dating system. I'll be posting subsequent chapters manually each Friday. Whenever I go back to the early books and read CJ, he sounds like a teen. Mature for his age but still a kid. I've tried to show growth in him and the other youngsters and I'm glad it's working. But he's still young and he'll flutter back and forth. Hell, I still do stupid things and I'm much older than him.
-
Ken's attitude develops because of his looks. I've met too many good-looking gay men who think they're entitled to do as they want because of how they look. Damien's typical of a social climber who thinks he's better than anyone else. Ken won't show up again (I think.) But unless Cristina drops him, I'm afraid we'll have to deal with Damien again. Thanks, Dave.

Eyes closed, CJ adjusted the headphones over his head. The train’s rocking provided a familiar, comforting feeling. A year after Election Day 2016, he and Owen were on the way to New York City, memories of his involvement in Hilary Clinton’s campaign fresh on his mind thanks to the recent interview with Trip. He smirked realizing how much he had changed since moving to Washington and in particular, during the time he worked as a surrogate for the former Secretary of State. Reticent about b

I haven't read that much in advance so my comments aren't influenced by upcoming events. I feel sorry for dad. He's out of his depth and has enough trouble dealing with his own misery to be a proper parent. He loves his kids, but he doesn't really know them. An all too familiar scenario. I'm rooting for him but he faces a tough road ahead.

Without a prenup, CJ automatically shares Owen's ownership interest in Liston Winery. I've never figured out the percentages and won't since they're not relevant but he now has bragging rights. The final chapters of the new book have some long assed discussions about wine.- 3,873 replies

They have these three-wheel bikes which are perfect for old farts. Sort of like how we all started with training wheels. Not a chance I'm making it to 100! I'm already living on borrowed time. My friend was wearing a Fitbit most of the weekend and we walked between 5 and 6 miles each day. My old knees are still complaining. Damn New Yorkers don't know how to stroll either! It's always rush, rush, rush.- 3,873 replies
