    Damn! I didn't realize someone had a camera that day... I was plotting a new story in my head at that point.

    @northie Blame it on @Mrsgnomie. She's a troublemaker. After @Mann Ramblings edited my story, I sent her the chapter with his comments so she could have an idea of what I went through. The one comment she focused on? Mann thought when the President of the United States said he was looking forward to white powder (on the ski slopes) hitting his face it meant CJ was into cocaine. That told me most of what I needed to know about her!

    Join the club. My excuse's that South Florida's hot and steamy and my boys need air.

    Perv! You just wanna see @Mrsgnomie naked. It couldn't be me. I'm old, wrinkled, and gray.

    She has the pedigree and eventually runs for office. Elizabeth Liston will become Senate Majority Leader a few years after being elected the represent her home state. Yep, DC's a state by then.

    Glad you enjoyed this one. Liebe's definitely the protagonist in this one. As for her brothers, one leaves the Navy soon after his initial commitment's done, the other one has to stay in longer because he became a naval aviator. Davey lives in Australia for a while then runs the family's vineyards and winery in California. Their cousin Raish becomes a veterinarian and at the time of the wedding works for the Bronx Zoo and lives in NYC where his wife, Carolina, is a struggling actress on Broadway. How's that for a little extra? LOL

    Damn! You went further into the future than I did in my story. Those relationships that began years before same sex marriage was legalized are to be admired. I know one couple together for over 40 years and it always amazes me how strong they had to be to counter society dismissing their love.

    Dates

    Carlos Hazday commented on Aditus's story chapter in Dates

    Nice, Adi. A niversaries can bring a lot of different emotions and you vividly captured some of them.

    I love that you interpreted the story as one highlighting inclusion. That was one of my primary goals. Liebe et al may rub elbows with royalty and glitterati, but I suspect CJ and Owen have kept her, and her brothers, grounded. She definitely has strong opinions about homophobia and mysoginy, and isn't afraid to speak up. My fervent hope is we get a few more Liebes, CJs, and Owens in the world. We can definitely use them.

    Just had breakfast but I'll make room for paella any day.

    LMAO Liebe seems to hold grudges (again I wonder where she gets that from) but her father's older and wiser and knows sometimes compromise is needed. As for the Aussie PM being a dick, I wanted to show us Americans don't have a lock on idiots being elected.
  12. Carlos Hazday
    Thanks! Even when I've written sad episodes, I always try to include a silver lining. This one was all joy. Well, almost. Liebe seems to be a bit headstrong, and I keep wondering how that happened.

    People in glass houses should not walk around naked. Not that I follow that advice, but...

    Last week, Dodger claimed the best were saved for last. CONGRATULATIONS!

    Thank you! I may have teared up while listening to the song. My beta reader, unfamiliar with the series, liked the format of the wedding scene. Then I mentioned it was the same one I'd used for CJ and Owen's wedding 30 years before and the same man singing. I thought that would be a nice touch for those who've read other CJ stories.
  16. Carlos Hazday
    Thought of you this week when writing about CJ and Owen at another wedding. Formal attire and Owen wears his kilt. Can you believe CJ celebrated his 50th birthday? And how did you like WIll getting mentioned, Harry and Meghan being referenced, and Lilibet being in the wedding party? Archie was at the wedding too. LOL

    THANK YOU! Although @Mrsgnomie previously accused me of recycling characters, there are actually 4 in this story I've never mentioned before. I do owe her a debt of gratitude, since I asked her to beta read without her knowing my cast. She mentioned the story felt like an epilogue, and in a way it is. An epilogue to the entire series. Hopefully, new readers will discover the characters, like them, and decide to tackle the series.

    Gracias, Gary. Kinda rainy around here the past couple of days and more expected today. Perfect for reading all the antho submissions. Come back and review/recommend the story? If you do, the first round in Spain's on me. Vale?

    @JACC I recently helped my 13 yo nephew with a class project about our family's history, and it reinforced the fact I'm a mutt too. Maybe that's one reason I have such a varied cast of characters. The quilt vs melting pot comment is something I planned to introduce in one of the short stories covering the summer of 2022, and thought it was worth including. The story you worked on is coming up next month. How about a recommendation and/or review to show non-CJ fans these tales are worth reading?
  20. Carlos Hazday
    That was definitely my intent. I tried to provide a glimpse at how someone in CJ's position has to balance personal and national interests, and how at times compromise is necessary. My goal was to show him maneuvering through that mine field. Would you consider recommending and or reviewing the story as a whole? Help me spread the word about these characters.

    @Anton_Cloche Thank you! See, even though I don't write romances, I can do the weepy stuff now and then. LOL Since this is part of the Anniversary Anthology, it is not CJverse canon. But as a possibility of what might happen, I thought it was a good premise for a story. Glad you enjoyed it. How about recommending or reviewing the story as a whole. It would be appreciated.
  22. Carlos Hazday
    Thank you, Cris. This story's part of the Anniversary Anthology therefore the Thursday publishing. Friday postings will resume next month.

    Summer 2047 The Oval Office The White House “Hi, Papi.” When her father stood, Elizabeth Liston Abelló—Liebe to everyone—walked around the Resolute desk to hug him. César Marcos Abelló, Jr. had been elected the first openly gay President of the United States of America in 2040. Seven years later, as the end of his second term neared, he met in the Oval Office with his husband, daughter, and future son-in-law. The president shook his head. “Oh, oh… I’m in trouble now. If you’re

    Elizabeth Liston Abelló and Fabricio Cesar Baravento have known each other since they were born. Their fathers, President César Marcos Abelló and Thiago Zeca Baravento had been friends since high school. On the eighty-first anniversary weekend of the Supreme Court’s decision in Loving vs Virginia, the young couple marries in the Rose Garden at the White House.

    I think I want to binge a few westerns this weekend. That was enjoyable.
