Sorry to disagree, Joh, but this chapter was not boring but rather informative and a bit insightful. It was a good setup for what's to come.

Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel
pvtguy commented on Dodger's story chapter in Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel
I didn't say it was impossible for them - but most difficult. I, too, have a great deal of experience with young parents and have seen both successful and very sad situations. Robbie is maturing, that is for sure! Stephanie has an apparently very supportive family. For sure, Sue would be a wonderful grandmother - but Don? Sorry...I may the the curmudgeon in this case, but I see too many red flags. That is not to say that they wouldn't love the child...but as it stands, there are a lot of obstacles int he way at the moment. -
Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel

Sorry to disagree, but they both are too young and naive to be able to be good and responsible parents without help from a lot of people. Unfortunately, Robbie doesn't have any positive family experience with which to draw any experience from. He's definitely not old enough yet to handle this alone or with Stephanie. -
Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel

Robbie is definitely maturing. He knows what the lack of a father in a child's life is like and I do believe he now may want to have some role in the baby's life. May Don fall overboard! -
Ok...so I'm late to the game. I just read this entire story in one sitting, which was rather nice not having to wait for the posting of each chapter. I loved it. As to the questions about who was/were gay - not every story has to have erotic scenes. Gays also have lives outside their sex lives! I guessed that is why Austin was not accepted by the mean uncle and aunt. But he has grown quickly through the traumas endured. I'm always amazed, though, at these types of stories where parents die in an accident, but the kid/s are left with a quite sizable trust. My family never left me with anything more than memories...

Sounds like the town I grew up in full of factories. Now that they have all gone and a highway was build through it, plus all the shopping and restaurant moving to malls a short distance away, beautiful buildings have been abandoned over the years and there are now a lot of parking lots! Kids went to college, many moved away, and some stayed and have tried to make it while remembering the good old days. As for the families, reunions do bring them back, but even they are getting less frequent. Thank you for sharing this story once again. It is such a walk down memory lane for me who grew up in the 50's.

What a wonderful chapter! The dinner party was quite interesting and I enjoyed viewing it as though a fly on the wall! Poor Jurgen needs a good lay with him being a sub, lol! That might loosen him up, though I doubt it! And, as always, I enjoyed the final conversation between Owen and CJ. Delightful!

Good setup. Will the kid make another appearance? Will Damon check up on him? Or does he go to foster care? I hope the father gets his own 6 by 9 "room" with only an hour a day to walk a tiny space for exercise. Not being vindictive, am I?
-
Great start to a story! Can't wait to see the development!
-
What fun a family reunion like that would be! Though I have many relatives on my father's side, I haven't seen them in many years - and haven't met some at all. A few have died. As for my mother's side, I am close with one cousin - and that's it! The country cooking alone would be worth the visit!

And the inter-office tension with Northman escalates, but CJ has developed quite the support system simply by being himself. I do believe Northman's days are numbered in his position. I loved that Home for Heroes was brought into this chapter! More good being spread in terms of concern for treatment of veterans after their active service has ended. Great chapter!

Where is that website?

I guess I am the latest to the party today...Loved all the comments. I was very pleasantly surprised to see another chapter posted. Hope that means that when this volume ends earlier than perhaps would have been if only posted weekly, that means the next volume will be published sooner! You are truly one gifted writer!

I'm ten years older than you both then...1948

I would bet I have you both beat in the age category - and I'll keep enjoying every day and keep adding them up. Those "drops" will soon fill the bucket...

Thanks for continuing the vicarious vacation! The circle of friends is expanding and drawing in some wonderful people. Happy New Year to you and yours! Tony F

Always a good day when you post a chapter! This was quite entertaining but also a set up for some more drama. Alex and his father? Rory? Thanks for the New Year's Eve present, Dodger!
-
I really enjoyed this weekend trip this morning! I needed to get away in the manner I like: learning, appreciating beauty, seeing how others lived at another time. You do not disappoint in your descriptions. Wishing you and yours a most Happy New Year filled with much joy, peace and love!

Thank you Garrison Keillor!

Merry Christmas Carlos! Thanks for the three chapters. I always enjoy the various travels you share in your stories - it provides a vicarious vacation for me! And this is a great break for them as a family. I never made enough money to provide these types of experiences for my son, which causes me some regret, but he has made up for it in his travels as an adult. Thank you again! Tony F

And thus the mores change from one generation to the next, with the older generation questioning why the youngsters have to do things so differently... I know that I have lived life in many ways different than my parents, and my son is living in his own way, much different than what I think he should do...but it works for him.
-
But what fun would that be? He is going to be the foil against which others can bounce!
-
Wow! These two chapters have shown CJ's ability to bring people together and to relate to even the most recalcitrant of them. Too bad Northman chooses to be such an a-hole instead of appreciating the talents of his staff! Great job, Carlos!

Having lived in towns with both factories and mills, I saw how they first slowed down and then closed. Charley going to Phoenix was a smart move, though it does change family dynamics. I moved 800 miles away from my birthplace for opportunity that was escaping me there. Additionally, I truly hated winters. I came for the heat and I've not been disappointed, lol! My hometown, which used to have 5 glass plants, a Union Carbide plant,and multiple coal and zinc mines now looks like a bombed out town from another part of the world. The tax base is not there to truly rejuvenate it. It's sad! Again, thanks for sharing this story.

Great way to cover a lot of ground as far as story points, but filled with the personalities of each character. Will Calum realize his fantasy? Sounds fun!
