  1. Here's a YouTube link to NPH's terrific opening at past night's Tony Awards program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-6S5caRGpK4 About as gay-friendly as you can get.
  2. I didn't catch that. They must have been smoking at a bar located outside? California has very strict smoking laws, although I understand that NYC will soon pass restrictions where one can smoke outside.
  3. For those who haven't been to this gay mecca, here's a 20 minute view. I've lived in Palm Springs for nine years and love it. Located just 100 miles east of L.A., the 42,500 population in around 40% gay. Check it out: http://www.logotv.com/video/episode-4-season-5-palm-springs-california/1659028/playlist.jhtml
  4. Hey Jay, I may re-visit Jeremy in a sequel...perhaps he runs into some of the guys from That's the Chicago Way. ) If you haven't yet, check out the two trilogies. Based on your previous comments, I think you'll like exploring Las Vegas with my guys.
  5. fmd, you've been busy. Glad you're enjoying the stories. I appreciate your support.
  6. Glad to have you with the group, Jan. I am starting a new story...but this is a slow process. Thanks for the support.
  7. Thanks for the review/note.
  8. Very early in my new story...like 1/2 a chapter...back in L.A. And I think there'll be other reocurring characters.
  9. Hi D Dave, Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the characters will re-surface at some point. I'm sure we'll find out more about Scotty, and Chris's relationship with Doc Russ seems to be on early solid footing.
  10. THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY Jack Scribe Hog butcher for the world, Toolmaker, stacker of wheat, Player with railroads and the nation’s freight handler, Stormy, husky, brawling, City of big shoulders. Carl Sandburg Chapter 17, GOOD COMPANY Although Scotty hadn’t gotten to sleep until after midnight, his inner clock was still functioning – he woke up for an anticipated early start without the usual grogginess. Blackie was curled at the foot of the bed, breathing i
  11. Along with the thousands of books written about relationships, this matrix probably cuts through the clutter the best.
  12. Rocco and his goons knew where Evan lived, and were only interested in getting the bank numbers to loot Marv's accounts. The timeline from Ch. 15 was simultaneous with Ch 16 (Thursday early evening in Chicago), so the FBI/AOI didn't know at the time who might be (if that was the case) going after Evan. Scotty's presence was indeed a very lucky break.
  13. THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY Jack Scribe It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes; it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it! The Blues Brothers Chapter 16, WAR AND PEACE Early evening – 7:30 p.m. Central time. No dining area in Evan’s sparsely furnished apartment meant the two guys needed to sit around the large coffee table. Scotty’s original nonplused assessment of the décor – or lack of – gave way to the conclusion that the
  14. Max, it was fun to concoct this tale. I felt Marv had been tortured enough and I didn't want to kill off the dude. The roller coaster is going up for the final finish. And, oh, a little romance is in the immediate future.
  15. Hold on...the pace steps up in Chapter 16 when the story moves back to Chicago.
  16. THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY Jack Scribe The very fact that Chicago’s Broadway Bank has a long track record of lending money to thugs and criminals like Michael “Jaws” Giorango, Ugur Yildiz, and Tony Rezko should tell us everything we need to know about its former senior loan officer, Alexi Giannoulias, his judgment and whether he is suited to represent us in the United States Senate. Ramparts 360 Postscript: Mr. Giannoulias, the Democratic candidate, narrowly lost the 2010 electi
  17. I'm glad you're changing your opinion of Evan. He has potential...just has to find the right guy. ) Marv is a nasty piece of work - agreed. California could get difficult.
  18. Hey Daddy Dave,I admit that Marv's a douchebag but Evan does have possibilities. Kris is looking for love (or a little action) and that door is open. My imagination concerning "weekly releases" is running a little wild today. ) We'll get back to Scotty...promise.
  19. THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY Jack Scribe Former Chicago alderman Ed Vrdolyak, who got probation after pleading guilty in a $1.5 million real estate kickback scheme, will be re-sentenced today and could be sent to jail. Vrdolyak was sentenced to five years of probation and fined $50,000 for the federal fraud charge. But the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January compared that to a slap on the wrist and ordered a fresh sentencing by a new judge. Prosecutors are seeking 3 1/2 years in p
  20. Marv is a careful man and one who has probably several contingency plans. He has 'friends' who are helping him ease away and make a new life. Goes under the saying, "cutting all ties."
  21. THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY Jack Scribe Germany was the cause of Hitler as much as Chicago is responsible for the Chicago Tribune. Alexander Woollcott Chapter 12, THE FAT LADY ALMOST SINGS There had been a damp coolness in the air Monday morning when Kris commuted to school, so he decided a bowl of vegetable chili for lunch at DePaul’s student center was in order. First of the season. ‘And more to come when the it arrives.’ It was a Chicagoan’s codeword for the first win
  22. Evan is slowly realizing he's over his head in this mess and Scotty knows there are larger fish to fry. I can officially say that this story has kicked into high gear. Thanks for the review.
  23. I agree that a meandering sequence in the various stories can be confusing for a new reader when characters appear from previous material. However, I'm glad the footnote prompted you to go to the Splash series. As far as Rory is concerned, I'm sure he's making some 'bubba' happy in the lockup. )
  24. THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY Jack Scribe A day after one of his top aides was charged criminally with steering county contracts worth $300,000 to her own firm and those of past business associates, the Cook County Board President defended the practice of issuing contracts for just under $25,000 that do not require the approval of the full Cook County Board. Chicago Sun Times – 2010 Chapter 11, STORMY CLOUDS Evan was resurfacing with uneven buoyancy. Limbo – an ethereal light
  25. Thanks for your support. As Bette Davis said, "buckle your belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride ahead."
