Not sure that particular conversation will, but if you recall, her ex lives in the DC metro area. Simmone and Trixie will be there sometime in August.

Definitely chuckle-worthy. You should share whatever substance inspires these tales. Who's your buddy?

Now, now, Myr. Careful or Jeff will have Amazon screw up future deliveries. I'm glad I had no intention of watching; I didn't like any of the movies either.

You done yet?

Take a bow... Thank you for making not only my day but my week. Had a rough start, but all's well now. Good writing as usual, and I loved the pacing, slow enough I was tempted to skip ahead, but not glacial. Go have a pint or whatever it is you do to relax. You've earned it. I look forward to future adventures.

Glad you enjoyed it, my friend.

Thank you. Yeah, my original intent of writting about a gay boy's summer in DC sort of got out of control. I have way too many ideas for the amount of writing I can do. Right now, I'm trying to figure out where I want to go next.

Thank you. Adele and Nathaniel stick around and may appear/be mentioned in future installments. I do know she's still around in 2027 since she's mentioned in a story set then.

For a couple of years, I took a long trip for my birthday. In 2014 I did the Outer Banks. Without realizing it I was there during Bike Week. I loved the area and included some of what I experienced in a story. I took CJ, Owen, Ritch, and Liz to the Wright Brothers National Monument and I may have described a couple other locations in the area.

I checked. Aja was introduced in Chemist chapter one. She was a guest at Rod and Taisha's Juneteenth party

Yah, that's a danger and some people are more sensitive to the stuff than others.

I can imagine. Sometimes, I'm amazed when I sign on, sign off, and an hour later I have a couple of pages of notifications.

I barely drink alcohol these days, so a lot of those descriptions are cobbled together from reviews and the companies' websites. The Dwayne Wade rose I did sample last yar, and it was pretty good. The bourbon they drink I can't afford. LOL

Are you friends with Harley? I bet he'd love to say your name. Thanks, for the praise. This story was rushed and I'm not 100% happy with it, but it serves its purpose.

Thanks, Chris. You getting used to reading after work? At least this chapter went live during the weekend.

I think you'll enjoy my antho submission.

Thanks, Bryson

Thank you

I posted on Sunday looking forward to talking about all the little details I included in the chapter. Instead, I was assaulted with a barrage of complaints. I try not to be a Prima Donna author, but the comments rankled. Can't really blame anyone since I do encourage comments, but y'all caught me by surprise. Not sure what the future holds right now. I'm finishing up a short story not connected to anything I've written before, and I have a couple to edit for others. That will keep me busy until I decide what to do with CJ & Co.

Not sure about that...

Same with wealthy individuals as with corporations. Further proof our healthcare delivery system is a tad screwy.

I think he got malaria his first week in Africa.

Airport food's pretty darn good these days. If they could just replicate the service while in the air, I'd consider flying more often.

The anthology should go live sometime in September.

@Anton_Cloche Not sure how many of those items I'll write about. My plan was for 9 short stories covering the summer of 2022, but after I get around to the third one, I'm not sure what I'll do. Plans were for a 4th of July celebration with Thiago back in town, a wedding in Michigan reconnecting with high school friends, and a visit from Owen's parents featuring another dinner party. In August, I planned a trip to New York to discuss investments and lawsuits and make media appearances, the monthly dinner party would be in honor of Calum (from CDMX) visiting, and a trip to Cuba leading to new opportunities. In there I wanted excursions to the National Zoo, the MLK memorial, and the Smithsonian's portrait gallery. I may skip all of it and simply pick up the story at a later date.
