I loved this feel good chapter which surely is the calm before the storm, but what storm? The distance and the stardom while tending to their responsibilities will have some effect, but what will be the breaking point? In the mean time, I, would like to see Will make some more forward thinking investments that will impress Steph, Matt and the rest of the family. He could definitely use a few hundred million more just to insure a few creature comforts. Thanks! This is a great start for a long weekend. All smiles!

The birth of celebrity! With the airing of Palisades , Travis’ life will become the paparazzi nightmare that makes Will’s It Boy experience a nonstarter. I hope the boys enjoy this time together before things change. I expect this will be harder on Will than his previous trip into the closet with Zack and I don’t think Travis will handle the pressure well if he cannot turn to Will for support. Thanks for another great chapter. Whatever the future holds for Will and Travis, I hope that in the end they will be able to work through the issues and give each other a pass for their mistakes.

I have never been bothered by birthdays because aging is inevitable and the best we can do is make an effort to be our best selves. That said there have been times when certain numbers have made me feel uncomfortable. It’s funny now, but one of the most concerning times was turning thirty. However, being thirty didn’t stop me from being carded. At my twentieth high school reunion, I realized that that age is not so much measured by years as it is by how you live and how you take care of your body and how much interest you take in the world around you. With that in mind forty, fifty, sixty and beyond have not been daunting. I am confident that the number of birthdays have very little to do with your actual age. The only thing that makes a particular day happy is that it is a reminder that you are still going forward! Take care and make the best of this adventure called life! George always does!

Will really does compartmentalize sex. His encounters do not impact his relationships and his relationships do not impact his commitment to Travis. Will’s box analogy has long been in play and he has thoroughly explored this with Casey. From time to time his partner has had to deal with jealousy and Will has always lived up to his commitment to defer to his partner. Travis is probably correct to be wary of Austin because Will has stronger feelings towards him than he is willing to recognize. Travis should tell Will how much he fears Will’s growing closeness to Austin, but Travis seems to be unable to address his insecurities. He told Will that he didn’t mind him being friends with Austin initially when Austin was in a committed relationship, but circumstances have changed. The highs and lows of their relationship are yo-yoing more often. With Travis’ growing career and the pressure of maintaining his public person, Will’s educational commitment and the distance between them, trouble looms ahead. Thanks again for yet another great, yet disturbing chapter. I feel the undercurrent of pain and raw emotions building. I look forward to the next posting with great anticipation and a little dread fo what may happen.

Isidor is not okay despite what Frank thinks. Maybe it’s some form of dementia or flashbacks of Billy. At any rate, at this point, Will is beyond caring and everyone else is irritated by her abhorrent manners .Travis is in a self absorbed fog and he has failed to make any effort to nurture his relationship with Will since Thanksgiving. Will has been using Austin to fill the void. After being disappointed by Travis’ impersonal gift and his failure so make any effort to make room in his schedule, Will has decided to go to Australia (with Austin) for his winter break. Finally Travis realizes the damages he has caused, but is it too late for a reset? Relationships take work and long distance relationships take even more work. These boy men need to make the effort or alter the nature of their relationship. Thanks for the slightly disturbing chapter. It seems we are on the eve of destruction.

I’m hooked! I am reading them until I am current with the chapter release of the current book.

Poor Finn, he has stepped into a tense situation where actions are tempered by the past. Finn needs to become stronger by honing his skill, gaining self worth and understanding his role. I look forward to witnessing his development.

Great storytelling! I’m sorry it took me so long to begin, but I’m delighted there is so much ahead. Forgive me for not commenting on every chapter. Thank you for sharing this epic tale!

Will is recovering from his it boy ordeal with help of his GBLT friends and his family and a few baseball bats conjured by Brad! Austin is finally dealing with the reality of his relationship and repairing his friendship with Will. Thanks for the healing chapter.

4/20! George is going to sea amidst turbulent political winds. I look forward to see him navigate the turbulent waters! I wonder what changes he can affect in the Spanish navy and what effect he will have on his French opponents! Let the war of wits and naval talent begin! Thanks for the new chapter with all its potential complexities!

Is it Finn? What about Austin’s partner? Or is it a closeted friend who blames Will for causing him to confront his sexuality? Why would the culprit be obvious? Obvious is rarely the answer in CAP.

Will is boring? Maybe that will work, but the photographer will have to work make it happen. Family and friends working together to make it happen along with a fashion magazine, a bevy of security guards, and the GLBT gang. Easy peasy! 4/20 gift! Thanks.

Will it work? The interviews seem to highlight Will’s charisma and his aloofness which seems enhance the air of mystery that created the maelstrom in the first place! Austin is certainly a victim of Will’s charm. Jeremy is truly growing up. Maybe he will finally get over some of his more unattractive behavior. Therapy and the right drugs seem to working. Travis and Will need a little private time to reset and prepare for the next challenges. Thanks for the interesting chapter. I feel like this is the calm before the storm. There is so much ahead and so many potential problems.

What a great chapter! I can’t wait to find out how Jeremy is going to solve the It Boy problem! Classic Jeremy!

Happy Easter! Thanks for the treat. George will no doubt put the frigate in order. George at sea again! I can’t wait!
