I think your summary is right on. Good show, I say

I hope all goes well with this. There is a very slight hope, that when the client realizes what he is losing, he may change their mind. I said 'slight hope' sometimes that is zero. I had a client once, I advised doing something, they didn't listen, 9 months later they were bought out. We should compare notes sometimes 🙂

They seem to have bonded. I think in most families, children tend to bond to one more than the other. But make no mistake, children love both parents. I should qualify that since in todays world there are a lot of parents who have disowned their children, or maltreated them. In this case, abandoned them.

Nels relates to Alan I believe because he missed a father-son relationship. Alan reminds me of my grandfather, he was like a second father to me.

You're right. Some people just don't like to be told they are wrong. They usually live to regret it. The boys are having a ball. New food to taste, England has some fantastic museums and a pub experience is something that is treasured
-
It is always difficult to listen to someone, who is being paid to assist, about your business. The word 'your' is the key. If Alan say they will go bankrupt, my bet is on Alan

I'm sorry, but sometimes......

Dinner that night was at a pub that I visited many times. It was pub food and I watched as the boys ate pasties for the first time. They liked them and asked if they could have another. One was enough for me, but Cody joined them. They were having a good time. Cody took a picture of them eating their pasties. When we got back to the hotel, there was a message for me from Dave about meeting in the morning. “Cody, I'll be meeting Dave for breakfast. You and the boys can come with me or follow late

If you're flying, I hope your plane isn't the one in the GIF. Yes, I have experienced what Alan has many times when I traveled to England. That has been so long ago. Oh well, maybe one of these days.

You have provided a song and a dance for those who read the comment. I have one word for you GREAT
-
One of the nice thing about comments, readers add to the story, but they also create a reason to check out the comment section. You have also given them a song and a little dance. GREAT
-
I wonder if anyone read the comment pages, now I know. Yes but with a gut, poncho seemed more appropriate.
-
Your are absolutely right. When I was there, I felt like Poncho
-
I can also, pack your bags Tonyr

Your funny. Not everyone is able to do this, I'm aware of that. But in a story everything is possible. On the the next trip, I'll make sure you have an invitation.
-
Yes, holidays and family go together.
-
Yes, Toledo that I mentioned is in Spain. I'm aware of the Toledo in Ohio. I live in Columbus. Yes, definitely a Gyro in Greece.
-
Yes, I had the fortune of being able to take my sons on one of my business tripos, etc was fun.
-
If I had known, I could've asked them to change. Let me know next time. Maybe I'll join them. I could go for a good Shepard's pie.

The next morning I called our travel agent and told her what I had in mind. She said she would email me a proposed itinerary by the end of the next day. When I told the boys where we would be spending our summer holiday, they were excited. The only thing missing was our passports which should be coming in the mail in the next few days. I remember the time when all you had to do was go to a passport office, have your picture taken, show your birth certificate and you have a passport within 4 hour

I could understand that if I didn't separate the story depending on who is speaking. Each speaker has their own paragraph. I try to make my dialogue as natural as possible, as if someone was recoding it and the playback was being written. I don't identify speakers like, "Alan said this...." , if Alan is in the kitchen, then it would be him speaking the older role. I can understand you might be confused, but the story has already been written, I hope this helps

I don't know of any woman that likes to fish. I'm glad that you mother fished, in my world, she broke the mold. I say, "Good For Her." If you go again, use a spinner or fly's. And please don't say, you don't like to catch flies. 😀

Thanks Chris, er Robin. I've always believed that love can conquer the sadest of hearts. Love can turn hate to love, if given in large doses. I'm not sure who is enjoying this more, the boys or Alan and Cody. Andy, and now Rich, have accepted these boys as "Bros", I think Andy's heart is just as big as Cody's and Alan's.

Compared to what they had, they are reacting to the love shown to them. I'm very glad for them and wish more children could be subjected to such love and care.
