I've joked about Netflix optioning the series before. One condition would be I'd have to be involved in the casting process. They better supply a comfortable couch. Considering the series follows CJ for about 35 years, we may need several actors to portray him at different ages. But do not despair, they can do wonders with CGI these days. I'm glad when I wrote myself into the stories I portrayed myself as an old fart already.

Until the twins are born a few months after the Newport weekend, Owen and Liebe are CJ's world. The boys will expand that small circle further. And five years in the future, as we saw in Flying Circus, those kids are still as important. Owen did say time with the three youngsters was sacrosant even through the demands of being Washington's mayor.

Not much left to tell. They were in town for a weekend wedding, and that's all over now. But of course even at the airport, ready to catch a flight home, CJ manages to steal the spotlight.

Retirement does offer a great opportunity for people to reinvent themselves without the constraints of judgemental employers.

Aside from Paul's reintroduction and having fun with some antics, my goal was to show a bit more of CJ's philosophy and let him rub elbows with some power brokers. The three military men will be out of office, and likely gone, by the time CJ starts campaigning. Sam, his children, and the Fanning children will be around. He thinks even Jennifer will be an interesting individual to interact with in the future. As for Logan Fanning, I see him as running for local office in Rhode Island and CJ recruiting him to join the reinvented Green party.

They'll just think of you as someone's eccentric uncle.

Are you saying he got it wrong? LOL Maybe not someone smarter but someone with a bit more real-world experience. Jennifer sounds like a smart kid but she's probably lived a somewhat sheltered life thanks to daddy's money.

Who's spreading those rumors? Do I need to send CJ in to beat someone up? LOL

Spike is a friend but the nature of his job may at times put him at odds with our guys. But he'll be good to have around when CJ needs either a CIA director or a National Security advisor.

These days, you can get anything and everything online.

Politics can be dirty, and CJ will have to play games at times. But I don't see him ever compromising his core values. Interestingly, in an upcoming story a reporter asks about working with someone CJ trashes, and our man says sure, if it's something we agree on and benefits the nation, he can put aside personal feelings.

CJ's pants

CJ wore pants. Not sure about underwear. LOL In Loving Anniversary, @Daddydavek mentioned I didn't even show the bride and groom saying I do. Sooooo, just for him, I added it to this wedding.

EDV is nearing pandemic status. In Arizona. the losing gubernatorial cantidate just filed another lawsuit demanding she be installed as governor, and next door in New Mexico, a dipshit lost his election by 50 points, claimed it was due to fraud, and hired people to shoot officials who didn't support his claims. All thanks to the lies started by a certain orange blob. If he's going to win elections as an unknown, third-party candidate, he'll need name recognition. The media can be a great help and we'll see him court them in upcoming stories. Thank you, Parker. Your comments are always insightful.

CJ had his first fifteen minutes in the spotlight during the 2016 elections and the publication of his first book. This year he's been in the news for nudging a Russian to defect, winning an Oscar, being featured in a NYT article, and rescuing his daughter from a kidnapper. He's savvy enough to use all the publicity to his advantage. The trip to Cuba in August, the publishing of his second book, and the eventual movie will keep him in the spotlight for a while.

LMAO... If you don't want to peek, move so I can. Wasn't it Dave who guessed CJ had to be a supporter of the military because of his father and brother? Although I made him a Green, I want to show he has his own philosophy and will mold whatever party he belongs to into something that tracks with his beliefs. He's an environmentalist but won't ignore the present and focus on only one thing.

Although CJ joked (?) Liebe has more pull, it's Owen who will slap him down if he gets too big for his britches. I've been trying to show Owen becoming increasingly comfortable with the path laid out in front of them. He may prefer the background most of the time, but he'll jump in when necessary.

I want a real CJ in our world too. Until he, or she shows up, I'll keep writing and hoping. Owen's bits were definitely hanging loose. Gotta air the boys out! LOL

I based the golf tournament the morning of the wedding on a personal experience. I don't play golf, so I went sightseeing/drinking instead. I mean, it was my first time in New Orleans! In CDMX, Sir Kent encouraged CJ to take up the game since the links offered a great opportunity for conversation. I don't see that happening during a pick up game at a basketball court. I tried to show Mr. Parker being savvy enough to recognize talent and pursue it. I have a feeling the Parkers and the Fannings will be players in whatever CJ decides to do in the future. I've written a bunch of weddings and tried to make each unique. There's one more coming during the summer of 2022, and instead of a bunch of moderates, the guest will be mostly progressives. Gotta keep CJ drawing people from all walks of life and the entire political spectrum.

Before the window was entirely down, Paul wedged himself partway through the opening. “Jesus Fucking Christ. What the hell are you wearing?” David had stopped in front of The Chanler and popped the rear hatch for CJ and Owen. CJ grinned and looked at his feet. “They’re called sliders. I’ve got shoes in the bag.” The clubs rattled when he picked up the aforementioned case and headed for the open back. “God, you’re a dick.” Paul stuck his head back inside the SUV when CJ walked past hi

Fuck! This one hurts. I discovered Mawgrim on another site and suggested he should post on GA. I'm glad he listened. His stories brought great joy to a lot of us. May he soar on dragon's wings.

Glad you enjoyed it, Gary!

We just had a couple of lottery drawings were the prize was over 1 billion dollars. I bought a ticket for each of the drawings. I knew i wouldn't win (odd are like 300 million to 1, but I still let my imagination run wild. I kept thinking of all the places I wanted to visit to research possible trips for CJ and Owen.

Hmmm... You want to read the next chapter for sure.
