Glad you enjoyed those, Theo. I wanted Owen to tell those stories and publishing them separately allowed me to give more than a few lines in another story.
If I tell him I'm killing off CJ, Ozzie, or Liebe, he'd be the happiest guy around. You ask me? He's just a weirdo with pretty darn good writing skills.
I'll add a little spoiler. Just as CJ has evolved over the years, so will Liebe. I mean, she'll remain opinionated but her tastes will change. I just pity the boys who try to chase her.
Crypto's like investing in foreign currencies or gambling with one of the sports books so popular these days. You can make money or lose it. As with most investments, the rich do get richer more often than not. Let's see if CJ and Owen can make ten billion in a few years the way some people have.
Damn! I forgot about those two.
CJ and Owen married waaaaay early. Particularly for the trend amongst college educated individuals. These days, getting married in your thirties is fine except for Mormons.
I'm not sure about that. Since I'm being accused of ending this chapter dangling from a mountain side, I may just change the last chapter and end up in a giant cliffhanger. Hell, what you all claim's a cliffie needing to get resolved in this story wasn't even one. It was a throwaway line by a reporter that stirred the pot.
When have we seen CJ just lounge the day away watching TV. I'm sure he's done it, but his nature is to explore and learn. Me, that's another story. A basketball game and some weed... Oh, wait, that was last night.
I picked the place months ago and can't remember. LOL Between the drinking and the golf tournament, I do want to include at least a reference to Rock Island and its windmills.
Mackinac is a go. Im trying to decide if they stop in Ann Arbor to harass @Mann Ramblings
That scene's based on a similar one I witnessed some 20 years ago. In an UES kid's boutique.
Having permissive parents who refuse to sweat the little things, Liebe will get away with stuff my parents would have never allowed.
Thanks, Dugh. Glad you enjoyed this one.
Hope you feel better after some rest and maybe strong meds.
Unfortunately, I fear by the end of the month, their Mexican adventure will come to a crashing stop.
“Are you gonna leave any for us?”
Without looking at CJ, Liebe shook her head, used an index finger to dig out another glob, and stuck it in her mouth. The flat bagel with a schmear and nearly transparent slices of Nova, tomato, and onion remained untouched.
Owen reached for the other tub. “I think the vegetable one’s history. We’re stuck with chive and onion.”
Since both Thursday and Friday were holidays in Mexico, they had flown into New York on Wednesday night and planned to
