OF COURSE --- I get what I was hoping for and personal life stops me until today ---2 chapters this week......WOOOOOO HOOOOO Knew the Dad's would want to check Aunt out further......and getting a small glimpse of what Rich is worth -- not sure if anyone else notice, but I believe the words used were easy liquidated cash -- so there has to be more hanging around as well. Seems like Rich is getting settled, understands what is needed to be the leader I am sure he will be, but still have fun and not lose that family connection. Someone else commented about the Squad going in different directions - that is the true test of family/friends -- miles apart doesn't change anything, just making the time you get together all that much better. Thanks for making my wish come true my friend....but you know me......................................I ALWAYS WANT MORE. Have a great one until next time!!!!! And get some relaxing time in as well. Jay

I only wish!!!!! But extra chapters would never be turned down...and thanks..... I am going to have to go back to Malibu now and read it again -- I am having difficulty remembering the visit in Feb......actually, I think I am going to start from the beginning and work through them all again....it has been a while and I miss my friends/family. Till the next chapter, a reading I will go!!!!!!

Really getting into the story -- thanks for posting this one....as you know it has been a request for a while. I see a trip coming for a couple of Dad's --- not sure Rich(ie) will be much out of town before they are there checking on Aunt Melissa (or having someone check her out as soon as they got off the call with them). Look forward to Friday even more now. Unless you wanted to throw another chapter or two out there just for a gimme....... Thanks again for sharing your talent.......... Jay

What a great way to start off a new year! I have been waiting for Rich(ie) to tell us his story. Seems to be that Rich(ie) is setting himself to succeed in what he wants. Really happy to have something to look forward to each week and your outstanding presentation of that story.........

Am I disappointed by the ending ----- probably but that is because I don't think I caught the hint.......🙂......although there is one line that pushes me in a certain direction with my thoughts. You said it perfectly, you are able to end the story however you would like --- this ending at least made me think and create my own thoughts on how things moved forward. If you would ever decide that you would like to post again, I will be following you as this story pulled me in. Thank you for sharing your time with me and sharing part of your imagination. I wish I had the guts/knowledge to do something like this. Jay PS -- I loved Noah/Jordan ---- that is the first one that I found and got sucked in as well......

Not sure how this actually makes me feel......I want to see them together but very irritated that Nash still isn't talking about things and jumping to conclusions. Ready for the next chapter anytime you want to put it out.......like now.......

Found your story --- and got hooked earlier, now I am anticipating the next chapter and wanting it yesterday......Great so far!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome back Carlos --- always great to see new stuff from you --- and a great way to start off a new month. Was great to see a few of the guys back together and get some time with Rich(ie) while he was on break. Love the tie in between Chipper and the house, and how you set the background for what was getting ready to start. Always ready for more -- thanks for sharing more of your talent!!!! Jay

I am thrilled to hear Ritchie is soon......and that someone else is as obsessed with him as I am..........thrilled that it sounds like we are going to have your wonderful talent to look forward to again soon and for a while....thanks! Jay!!!!

Outstanding chapter/end to an outstanding story. Who would have thought that kid in high school would go so far and prove you can do anything you set your mind to. I know there is more for Brad's story and will be patient till you are ready to share but.............................................................................as you know, I WANT IT NOW...... 🙂 I continue to find myself brought into each one of your stories as if I was a family member watching them happen! As always, until your next entry, I stand impressed and awed...... Hope you are doing well during our craziness and continue to be safe, happy and healthy! Until we meet again my friend! Jay

I first found your stories with Morningstar and couldn't get enough.......have probably re-read it 4 or 5 times now.. Then the next one that drug me in was Cards on the Table ---- and am actually going to go back and re-read that one now.......even though it has not finished yet.... Endings -- what do I say --- this was an excellent story --true to life - great portrayal of the different emotions by both. Was pulled into this one as much as the others..... Thanks for sharing your talent --- will watch for more!!!! Any chance of seeing how the guys and Dawson are doing in the future? jay

I continue to be impressed with every story you provide.......and this one drug me in like all the others..... Thanks for allowing me to partake in a bit of your creativity and imagination. And outstanding job with the Kennedys and keeping it real. Jay!!!!!

Outstanding story --- great double chapter update for the ending!!!! Got something in mind for next Saturday??????

Great start to what I am sure will be another great story. "Prime" mental pictures happening with the bathroom scene and then with the picture of Dante -- I may or may not be drooling a little (ok a lot). Normally go for the less hairy but damn those eyes and nips...... Something to look forward to on Saturday's again --- thanks for sharing your gift again!

Great ending Carlos..... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!! May your hopes/dreams come true and your goals be obtained. Take the time to tell/show those you care for exactly what you feel for them. They may not always be close enough to do so. Jay

Great follow up to the previous chapter......still don't think we have saw the last of Pam at her worse......And how all three stepped up to have the needed discussion was great! The mental pictures of the guys in kilts made my morning. Merry Christmas.....hope your holidays are filled and your dreams come true....

Move over -- I need a seat as well!!!! 😄

WOW......go OZ --- I figured Pam was going to be a little over-protective, but damn that was wild!!! Saw a pic as scrolled down to leave this of someone eating popcorn with their eyes glued --- I could so be in the same place. Interesting start to the day -- now my mind is going to be what is the aftermath going to be like....

And I have to say --- length for this one was great --- but you know I am going to say I could sit down and read the whole story in one go, but at least it wasn't the 1K you did on the last!!!!!! 😛

WOOOO HOOOOO.....got my fix this morning!!!!! Great start and outstanding to catch up with the guys......

WOW ---- that is all I can say for the "THE END." Honestly, I was at the point that I didn't care who won -- he is making his way and has the start that he wants -- and I (we) know how it ends up! Squad is back again huh? Very ready for it. While I loved the story, please say you are going back to the longer chapters....please, please, please!!! It about killed me a couple of times with the (my opinion) sudden stops on some of the chapters! But of course, I kept and will continue to come back for your writing. Thanks for sharing Chipper's beginning and his first big steps into the music world.....maybe we might see how he progresses in the future. Might make for another interesting read. (Just read other comments and saw others with this same idea.....and the mention he will pop back in for other stories.......OUTSTANDING!!!!!!) As always, thanks for sharing your time, talent, and world inside your head! You make the the trip soooo worthwhile. Jay

@Wesley8890 -- I could not agree with your opinion more, but know that my employer does this same thing. While it may be no one's business, they also look at it as the individual is representing the overall Company not just themselves. I know that my employer doesn't take one or two posts/pictures into much consideration, but if there is a lot of negative stuff (drinking, illegal activities, fights, exposing yourself, etc.) that will deter them from an offer. It may not be right, but with Social Media being so much of our lives, it is not a shocking move forward.

Finally had the chance to catch up on the past few chapters -- still loving the story and the "road" Chipper is taking with the competition. Hate that he had to deal with a jerk like he did, but he is learning valuable knowledge right from the start. I am still struggling with the smaller chapters, but think by catching up after a few chapters have posted is helping me. Writing is still absolutely fantastic and you are still one of my favorites, just can't get my head around it. Isn't it amazing what Social Media can do for you -- both negative and positive. I just hope that those that use it often understand what they are opening themselves to when they post anything and everything to those mediums. Love that Chipper is still in contact and depending on the friendships he made growing up! The old saying "it's not what you now, but who you know" can really be spot on. Looking forward to more (and December still) -- until the next time!!!! Jay

Extremely sad for the close of this book --- thrilled for the next one to come. SOOOOO HAPPY the closing (almost said ending but that just can not be) was at Camp Falls and they got to spend more time there. And I dream that they return to Camp Falls again -- maybe this time as parents themselves??? There have been a number of twists & turns along the way and I grew deeper involved with the characters as we continued the journey. Thank you for sharing your talent and your imagination. Looking forward to the next book and seeing the guys again later this year. Jay

Who other than Adam.....love the interaction between the two. And of course he got 4 chairs..... Great update!
