  1. @frosenblum Between retirement planning and the Holocaust, I'm happy to see what I write reflected in other media. I think the human race advances at different speed, and some of our fellow Earthlings are mired in the past unable to adapt. Antisemitism's always been about fear. So called Christians tend to blame society's ills on those different from themselves, be it racially, religiously, or sexually. My goal with the CJ series all along has been to imagine a better world where we acknowledge our differences without vilifying those who are not like us. Let's hope we can reach that point before we repeat the errors of the past.
  2. Hope the recovery's swift and complete. My Mom had the surgery and it solve most of the issues. Arthritis still bothered her, but she was able to use her hands again.
  3. LMFAO January will see another CJ story, but February will bring something new and blue. That's it for teasers right now.
  4. I will. A two-week break over Christmas and a new story will premiere in January!
  5. Great. More pressure. I need to entertain retirees. LOL
  6. Retirement can be a two-edged sword. If we remain active and find something that interest us to occupy our time, it can be wonderful. If we sit at home watching daytime TV, it could be maddening after a while.
  7. After the next story's posted in January, I have six more to write covering the summer of 2022; one of them's the trip to Cuba mentioned in Flying Circus. I'm not sure what I want to write next, so I've been outlining all six. I've done some preliminary research for all, and that hotel's the one I think I want CJ and Owen to stay at. I'd love to visit the island before I die.
  8. One more chapter and they'll be back in Barcelona ready to disperse to other locations. I think you and other readers will like what I have coming.
  9. Spaniards and Brits can travel there a lot easier that Americans can, and Cuba I think is not very expensive. Go for it. The excerpt was part of CJ's trip to Israel in Goodnight, My Angel. His trip was interrupted by Owen's sister falling ill and he traveling to Australia to be with Owen.
  10. I hated donating mine to a charitable gift shop when my waist expanded and the leather wouldn't stretch enough. Or we could pull up our big boy skirts. @dughlas will probably object to me calling a kilt a skirt. LOL
  11. At least Ritch doesn't make gay jokes at his brother's expense like mine do. He somewhat idolized his big brother growin up, and I think some of that's still in play. His attitude's like that of many younger people. Okay, you're gay. You think we're gonna get rain today? We hear a lot more from Lucy next week. As I promised, each character gets their 15 minutes in the spotlight.
  12. "Okay, kids. If you give me all the fine money you've earned this trip, and pick a number between 1 and 36, I'll bet it for you at the roulette table." "What's a roulette table, Grandpa Cap?"
  13. He did say at the beginning of the story he's surrounded by cussing airmen and won't be able to clean up his language. I assume they all cuss at home. I can see the twins calling each other asshole on a regular basis. In HTTC, Brad Kennedy complains his and Carolina's kids have potty mouths because of their Abello cousins.
  14. Yes, yes you do. LOL Since I'm not writing that portion of their summer, I haven't bothered working out too many details, but we can assume they'll be traveling business or first. Those kids have lived in Mexico (Liebe), Cuba (all 3), they've traveled to Australia before, they've spent a week in Spain, and who knows where else they've been since the twins were born. The educational value of all that traveling constitutes an education in itself.
  15. Scene fragment from an upcoming story 'Nuff said.
  16. We're all gonna have to put on our big boy pants and deal with it.
  17. I'm not all that. LOL Happy Friday to you, Theo.
  18. And here I thought that was a typo. Where did I leave my brain pills? If I was CJ, I'd take the money Ritch gave them and swap for something like 20 dollars or euros each. They'll be too excited with the long flight to Sydney and maybe let their dad swindle them. I do pity Owen alone with the kids on that long a flight.
  19. Se my comment above. I think I spent my late 30s and early 40s dancing while intoxicated. The memories are foggy. These days, a basketball game on TV's more my spend for a Friday night.
  20. LMAO Ritchie's gonna have to get used to it. When Pentagon officials recognized him during an inspection tour, and he gets tapped to wear his uniform at a concert in Vegas, I'd say his anonymity's shot. CJ and Owen are definitely better. At least when Ritch beats someone up, he does it with a smile. You and me. One of my nieces mentioned a music festival near me next spring. The idea of a bunch of 20somethings, high or drunk, dancing to EDM for 10 hours doesn't appeal. Sunrise, yes. The sack? Well, maybe not until later. Maybe after breakfast.
  21. Remember when CJ used to get all jealous? I think he's pretty secure in his relationship these days. If Washington DC really had a 30 yo gay mayor who danced kilted and shirtless atop a platform, I'd already be living there. And tho think it all started when he turned 21 and wore only a strap to show off his ink. Could there have been paparazzi with long distance lenses when they ran around the boat naked?
  22. Can you believe the only ones CJ screamed at during the trip was the twins. He was even mellow when he confronted the chef. When I checked prices, Clase Azul Reposado lists anywhere between 200 and 500 dollars. Cristal Vinothèque retails for over 1,000 a bottle. Bars and restaurants at a minimum double the retail price. Either Ritch or CJ's gonna get a lot of reward points for 3 bottles of Champagne and probably one of tequila. High bar tabs aren't only for hip hop artists. Don't you drop over 5k on cocktails when you go out? LOL
  23. Blame Brett. The cheapskate refused to pay for more than 7 days on the boat. He was focused on Monte Carlo's Grand Prix and casino. I think he's hoarding euros for gambling.
  24. Sounds like they'll be up for a few more hours; let's see what I can cram into their last day at sea.
