    GMA XXII

    Well. In one chapter we get an anti-corruption sting operation, and Brad taking a big step forward into life. Graft like what you described is what undermines everyone's trust in civic institutions. Nice that CJ and Owen found a great special agent to help them sort things out. Nice also that Brad may be getting a chance to develop something new. I had to laugh at the improvement on the Liston Winery's fortunes. But Ritchie's news - you left us hanging. Of course we need to hear more. And I'm supposed to wait a week?

    Kiss

    Everyone should be so lucky as to have a lovely, sunlit date with a wonderful guy like Tom. If I were Charlie, I'd take it just as slow as Tom wants - he seems to be worth it.

    Going places

    I enjoyed this chapter for many reasons (not least of all the descriptions of food available at the farmer's market; now I'm hungry), and for the simple joys of being together that Geoff and Tony share. I enjoyed it despite a certain Ex-boyfriend Who Shall Not Be Named. That single-minded fellow will never know what Geoff and Tony have - wonder how and when he will learn to grow up. Thank you for this chapter.
  4. Huzzah for the clean inbox! Mine was full of demanding notes about the exam schedule.... Oh, lucky Number Two! Nobody is ever exempt from my exams...
  5. Hope you have an awesome day. I’ll be thinking of you while I do exam review with 17 year olds...

    Round One.

    I understand the experience.

    Rain

    I feel sorry for Charlie and his leaky roof, even if it did net him a date with the winsome Tom.

    Night Out

    Oh, such a nice visit with his friend Travis! But what a way for Charlie to put his foot in it at the store. What a pity Travis can’t stay...

    Charlie will have plenty of homework if a friendship with Tom develops. Nice words remembered from Charlie’s grandparents certainly make him disposed to be friends.

    Round One.

    You described the hurt of rejection so well; the hope and then the crash. Shawn was brutally honest, but since when did honesty have to be brutal? Chris is going to be back in his shell for a long while.
  11. Fun with Imp and Angel; Sablo taking Theo home; and the description of the medal ceremony- all excellent. I enjoyed reading about Theo’s work habits, too. But now I want to see more about Diego’s new bling he got from Azrael. And where might they be going later on?
  12. This is unbelievably cute. Thank you for bringing out the sunshine.
  13. This makes me so sad. Yet somehow, this fails to surprise me.

    Conduit

    I enjoyed reading both Jed’s encounter with his Dad, and about the fascinating interaction Wolfgang has with the entities using Evan as a conduit. What will happen to Jed when his longtime friend Shawn tires of being used in the way you so effectively portray? You seem to subtly suggest that’s possible. As you do often do, you left me with an increasing number of questions. Awesome chapter!
  15. It was an inspired guess.
  16. Smiles and hugs for Adi!
  17. Pain is pain; we can try quantifying it, rating it, measuring it - but it’s still the hurt of one human being. Your hurt matters. You make me feel this. Well done.

    Morning Toast

    I enjoyed this endearing snapshot of Jake and Nate’s lives together. They’re a couple I’d enjoy being around. But I’m taking them out for breakfast...
  19. Good morning. There’s sun coming over the hill this morning. It’s lovely.
  20. Thank you for reading and responding to these two birds. The robins often make a nest in the trumpet vine that grows on the arbor. My presence beneath the leafy branches always elicits a scolding. The cowbirds are a menace to some species of smaller birds. But they are such dull colored birds most people take no notice of them. Listen for their wolf whistle.
  21. And soon it will be warbler season. Oh, such torture to be in a classroom then. Thank you for reading this entry, and for your very kind words.
  22. The junco is a wily ground feeder, choosing inhospitable places to shelter from predators. The goldfinches I am sure are largely the same. There’s a hawk flying around this minute - both juncos and finches are keeping very quiet. Thank you for reading this installment and for your comments.
  23. Thank you for reading these and for commenting on them. The onomatopoeia are part of my inner vocabulary now, as much as some lines of poetry.
  24. You and I share an enjoyment of birds. Killdeer are a favorite, though they are much less common now than they once were...
