  1. Yeah, I'm realizing you're not an Abello-Liston-Davenport-Peterson-Wilkinson. No seafood and no sailing? How about a cross country motorcycle ride?
  2. Sit outdoors, close your eyes, and turn your face to the sky. That warmth's most relaxing. I do it for at least 5-0 minutes whenever it's not pouring.

    Highlighting friends and authors I've enjoyed reading is always fun. I've done it with Mann and WolfM in the past. In this book, I get a mention (LOL) so does Parker Owens, and now Mawgrim. @Kitt hasn't peeped about it, but one of the stewards shares her name. I have another author penciled in for an upcoming short, but I'm not telling her until I actually write it. If she pisses me off between now and then, I'll have CJ trash her story.

    If I recall, Branson's in the Ozarks and was a summer resort. They keep going in fall/winter? Bet the leaves were gorgeous. I forget where I read about compressed fish food balls, but it got filed away for possible use. I just read about a woman who posted a Tik Tok of herself, hitting a golf ball off the Grand Canyon's rim. That's illegal and dangerous. She got arrested. In my version, everyone wins. LOL I wanted to show CJ's kept up with the game and it was more fun to do this than just talk about it. I ended up doing both. I want extra brownie points

    I still think you should have been invited. LOL How do you think those two boys will do when they wind up at a fancy prep school? They'll use math when they grow up. I think I want to become a naval aviator and the other one a naval architect. Their eyes won't glaze over like mine when we talk quadratic expressions.

    Thanks, Cris!

    Thanks, Theo. Sometimes I worry I've created a monster. CJ and his cohorts are so much fun, its hard to remember they're fiction. Glad I can brighten Fridays for you and others.

    Who knew sailing would be so popular with this crowd? I'm working on a story set back in 2022, and I happen to feature another sailboat. The Dream Weaver. Maybe we can charter that one instead.

    As Lucy will mention later on in the story, she's been around the family since she was a kid. By now, she knows how to deal with them. I thought her being the one who shouted CJ in this story was funny. As for a proposal, there are 6 more chapters, so it could happen. Although Ritch will probably be stuck in Italy for at least a couple more years.

    LMAO - Yeah, maybe a 3 day Carnival Cruise trip to the Bahamas we could all afford. A week's charter of a super yacht may be a tad expensive.

    LMFAO - Old farts or not, I would have loved to go skinny dipping with Brett and Cesar. It's scary how much Brett's personality influenced CJ. Those two are my irreverent warriors.

    Thank you! Last time I listened to John Denver was when I was writing/publishing Cadet. Chipper opened his concert in Colorado Springs with Rocky Mountain High. Denver was truly talented. I think an environmentalist like Owen would agree with this line: to live on the land we must learn from the sea. For anyone not familiar with Calypso or the story behind it...

    Thanks, Dugh.

    We may need a larger boat to fit everyone. LOL Sailing's something I haven't done a lot of, but each time has been a wonderful experience.

    I'm so glad this story takes place 5 years in the future. I didn't have to research what the weather was like. Mostly fair weather up ahead.

    @Unlimited Possibilites Glad I can brighten you Fridays. Cj took hold of the day and won't let go. I find it appropriate the chapter giving us Brett's point of view was published on Veterans/Armistice Day and day day after The Marine Corps birthday. Oorah!
  17. Tuesday, 4 May 2027 Sa Dragonera Brett looked up from his tablet when CJ joined him and César on the upper deck. “You missed the sunrise. It was fan-fuckin’-tastic.” “Morning, buddy. I’m surprised you slept so late.” César and Brett were accustomed to their eldest being up before the sun rose. “Ha! Shows what you know. I woke early, sneaked into the empty galley to make myself a cup of coffee, went back to the cabin, and caught the sun coming up through a porthole. I wanted
  18. Considering their desire to eat as much fresh seafood as possible during their trip, it's probably a good thing you didn't tag along.
  19. Just you wait; Nicole's headed north.
  20. Liebe's not gonna be happy when she hears about it. After all, the girl loves Nova on bagels, fish tacos, and slimies!
  21. It's rainy and windy outside; it's a perfect day to stay in and google all the little details. LOL

    Chapter 1

    This was a fun little story to edit. Thanks for letting me play with your boys! If I was harsh, blame it on the devil; he made me do it.
  23. I know the promotion means a lot to you but did you have to invite Nicole to the party? The bitch's raining on your parade. Congrats, K.
  24. LOL, yeah, you are. I think Mexico taught CJ patience and restrain. He's not as likely to explode these days. A bit more about how he handles idiots in the next chapter.
  25. Did you eat fish as a kid? I've noticed my nieces and nephews follow their parents' example and that influenced Liebe's eating habits.
