    There's a West Wing episode where YoYo Ma performs and the entire staff's excited. Although beyond the scope of this story, I imagined Gus creating a similar buzz. He performed at a couple of State Dinners before. Feel free to write about those one day. 😂

    Yeah, you just have to avoid fire or a different type. Based on the people they met in Mexico alone, the family has friends in New Zealand, Italy, and Spain. Those people all have kids in a similar age range as the cousins. Throw in the royals and I see danger. Four good looking young studs with money and connections would keep the tabloids humming. If those four are straight, I'm certain CJ discriminated and insisted their security detai be all male.

    The melting pot vs quilt thing I've been thinking about for a while and I may have CJ mention it for the first time soon. It could be part of his campaigns for office.

    Damn! I'm emptying out my bag of tricks. I do have thoughts about how about what happens to a bunch of the characters, even if I'll never write those stories, but have avoided thinking about the end for Brett, Cesar, CJ, and Owen. Nope. Not happening. They live forever. CJ and Ritch's grandmother was alive and at his inauguration, but I figure she's gone by this time as is Owen's grandfather. Ritch is married and has a boy and a girl born in the early 2030s. He left the Air Force after 20 years. What he's doing at this point's fuzzy, but he lives in the Maryland burbs in one of those communities with a private air strip and a hangar next to the garage for each house.

    Thank you, Bill. It was a risk to recycle the characters but I think I managed to make the story accessible to non-CJ followers. You and I both fear a dismantling of society's advances (decline to some?) and we both sound the alarm about the importance of some of those decisions at risk. I prefer to be optimistic in what I write since there's enough heartache and pain in the world already.

    At one point in time, Liebe tells her uncle Ritch she wants to do the same as her dads when she grows up: help people. I imagine her as a version of Caroline Kennedy. But because she was already in college when her father was elected, she had at least 8 years training on how to run a country. Not even counting his time as DC's mayor and United Nations Ambassador. I've described her as a sponge, she's absorbed knowledge from both fathers, and I don't think she's afraid to use it.

    Dude, I've fucking missed you! How the fuck does Austin put up with the worry? Glad you're home and safe. I kept Ritch out of the story but included Kai and Joel, how about them apples? LOL One thing I forgot to mention (it would have been more for CJ fans than anything) was that Jeffer and Roo delayed their entry into the Naval Academy and took a gap year after high school. So did Raish and Zach. Because of the differing school years, the 4 of them spent 6 months together traveling the world. CJ insisted the Secret Service carry condoms at all times.

    By now you should now I love to include some history in my stories. This was a jump of nearly twenty years, and I concentrated on the wedding party while trying to include bits about the future. William is King, some Arab countries are still misogynistic and homophobic, and xenophobia's alive and well. But there's hope since the US elected a gay man as President and his daughter's vigilant and willing to go toe-to-toe with any oppressor. May we see a Liebe soon.

    I've been rooting for Pujols like crazy. Same for Judge, even if I don't follow baseball as closely as I used two. Winning to World Series and having the teams dismantled before the following Spring Training has a lot to do with it. Miami's had a string of crappy owners from day one. My solution, I had a couple of characters buy into a rugby team they'll eventually control. I have some dinner table discussions about sports, teams, and owners planned. As for the triplets. I'm bumping up their introductory story in my schedule. Triple Play will recount how they met and befriended the man who would become President.

    Come on, man. How many times do we want to read about the actual wedding? The fact I was in the middle of plotting three other nuptials at the time I wrote this may have influenced me.
  11. Carlos Hazday
    Thanks, Parker. And thanks for letting me borrow Gus. Even if it was just a mention. I did say I foresaw him playing in the White House at the end of Double Concerto, didn't I?
  12. Carlos Hazday
    Yes, I did, dear. Of course I did, dear. Whatever you say, dear.
  13. Carlos Hazday
    Did you notice my story had more straight characters than gay ones? Hell, I've written a bunch of them with heteros as the MC. I do NOT discriminate. Now, about Banner, yeah, you don't have a chance with him.
  14. Carlos Hazday
    Love the fire!!! I've been throwing stuff at my readers for years in hope of starting conversations and maybe motivating someone to become involved. Even if it registering to vote and doing it. Power derives from the people and too many good people have been quiet for too long. Nothing is sacred and if Roe can be overturned, so could many other decisions. Hell, there's a guy running for Congress in Michigan who thinks the 19th amendment should be overturned. Women are not capable of handling the responsibility. It's 2022, right?

    I've had characters mention how we need to remember the past without repeating the mistakes made. It's why education--true impartial education--is essential. Unfortunately I see two educational systems evolving and I'm ashamed my state's on the wrong side. I hope to highlight the issue in a future story.
  16. Carlos Hazday
    Thanks, Dave. I tried hard not to mention technology and concentrated on the individuals instead. And I tried to focus on the family and their interactions. From Davey cussing (even if in French,) to Liebe being an advocate for minorities, those kids are definitely the product of CJ and Owen. There are a bunch of tidbits in the story for CJ fans, but they should not detract from others enjoying it. Did you notice who the Air Force One pilots are? And I have a bone to pick with you. I figured you'd make a comment about triplets who offered their venue as a wedding gift. ⚾

    Bite your tongue! This one was tough because I had to make it accessible to those not familiar with the characters. I think I only added 1 new character and mentioned the Robinsons. Their story didn't get written in time like the one about Brion did. But in the end, even though I don't write romances LOL this was a love story. But since it's me and the Abellos are involved, we had to have a little political commentary. I have faith the next generation will be better than us.
  18. Carlos Hazday
    Yep, troublemaker. Thanks for your help. I threw you in cold turkey and you did a great job. I took your advice and it made the story better. Only like 20 more stories to read if you want to start at the beginning.
  19. Carlos Hazday
    Two left to read and they're the longest ones. They may have to wait until tomorrow since I understand it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Meeting friends for an early happy hour. Why? Because it's Thursday. Works for me.

    My story

    Carlos Hazday commented on northie's story chapter in My story

    GA is many things to many people. I'm glad you feel at home here. For me, it helped me manage depression. So what if I did it by escaping into a fantasy world. Probably better than drugs. Keep working on your truth, Northie. And screw anyone who doesn't like it.

    Careful I don't send Banner after you. How shall I put this? He's different. Big, muscular, and powerful... stop drooling!

    6 characters- Banner, Juan, Ryan, Chad, Marc, and Kwan. You may have trouble since Liebe, your alter ego, isn't in it.
  24. Carlos Hazday
    Thank you!
  25. Carlos Hazday
    I promise not to give you a hard time when I get to your story.
