The last I heard from C J was on December 24. He said he had just gotten back to the US, but was not yet home. He posted chapter 145 that same day. He said he had a cold, but the ship he was on had a norovirus outbreak. Hopefully, he hasn't gotten sicker after he returned home. He did not post a chapter yesterday and I have not yet received a chapter to proofread beyond chapter 145.

I'm guessing >3<145.

You should keep your resolutions. Write them on a card, seal the card in an envelope, and keep the envelope in a desk drawer until next year.

Dan, it's great to have you and your stories back on GA. I really loved The Bully. It's quite a departure from your other stories and I'm wondering if you wrote it recently or if it's an older one I missed somehow. Please keep up the good work.

The truth is at https://www.gayauthors.org/story/c-james/circumnavigationCJ It's OK, C J. What's a million words or so between friends?

I've come across Cisgender and Cissexual before. They didn't strike me as particularly useful words, and I haven't used them. Chirugion is just one of those spellings that got us from the Latin to Surgeon. English is like that.

Life is like that, Chase. Some people pass through ours and we never see them again. Others reappear from time to time, sometimes for a reason. Are you just passing through?

The 1980s? I was in my 40s and had four young sons. I was busy. Don't remember much else.

Happy Birthday, Jack!

Now. Who has betrayed whom?

Welcome back, C J!

Today's the day. C J's slow boat from Europe docks in the US. anyone heard from him yet? The next chapter, Now It's Personal, will be posted later today.

And now the latest iPad:

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Hilarious, Dennis.

Sorry, Lacey. Your medal was sacrificed to appease the gods. That's why you survived.

Keurig K-cup coffee maker. Now I'm "i-wired". Just kidding.

Hayden, if you like fast bikes, you might enjoy the Rich Boy series by dkstories.

A. Don't put too much faith in the mainstream press. They would be reluctant to criticize a major drug company; may be the reason The Daily News revised their story. B. The Natural Society article seems to cast doubt on the Fanapt approval and study process:

I think Lacey was suggesting you start a blog here at GA. It's more flexible than a forum, you have more control, and it's an appropriate place for topics such as this. I'll respond to your poll there.

Just what was responsible for Adam Lanza's murderous assault on Sandy Hook Elementary School? Asperger's syndrome Guns and lax gun laws Anti-psychotic drugs which make a condition worse Here are three articles everyone should read: New York Magazine: Asperger’s Is a Red Herring to Explain the Newtown Massacre (See Editor's Note at bottom of article) Natural Society: Predictions Confirmed: MSM Says Shooter Adam Lanza Was on Violence-Linked Anti-Psychotic Fanapt Drugs.com: Fanapt Side Effects Of course we may never know. Asperger's advocates, gun control advocates, the gun lobby, and pharmaceutical companies all have their own interests to protect and their own means of controlling the discussion.

LOL, Lacey. I love the way you always cut right to what's important in life.

Like all big events, the End of the World won't come until after the markets close on Friday afternoon!

LOL
