That is exactly what went through my mind when I read that remark.

Will look into in very soon. Thanks Mark!

Damn, Will sounds like me!

I normally try to picture characters with guys about their age back during the period of the story was set in along with their dress and hair styles. I don't really know or even have ever heard of some of the guys you have mentioned like Galitizine. I haven't been to a movie theater since "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" and that was what around 2000 or 2001. Last DVR I bought and watched was "Walk the Line" because I love Reese Witherspoon. When College Football season is in I only watch sports TV. When the season is over, I watch old western's, old movie's, or documentaries. Just can't get into reality tv, any of the sitcoms in the last 20 years. Or I am reading stories on GA, nifty, or surfing the net in a hotel somewhere out on the road. I work in sales and am gone most of the time. I'm 67 years old so I am an old fart!

For some reason ever since the Book 1 of CAP I have imagined JP as looking a lot like Patrick Dempsey. I don't know if Mark has really given a detailed description of him or not. But that is how I have seen him. And Stef I have imagined him as a lighter blonde hair Ricky Nelson. For you young guys you will just have to look him up. Brad I have always pictured him as a Blonde Richard Dean Anderson from how he looked back when he played as "MacGyver" on TV back in the mid-80's. Jack looking like Richard Gere when he was about the same age. I just never got a grasp on Robbie or any of the Hayes men, but pictured them having kind of a DiCaprio like head, but not necessarily his face. But I think they all looked very much alike. Great chapter. Look forward to the rest of the year.

From the very first book of this story, Book 1: "Never Too Late to Change" until the end of Book 3: "Never Too Late to Believe" I have been pulled into it after the very first chapter and then deeper as the other chapters passed by. Excellent story that has been well written. I really hated for it to end. I am really hoping that @northieafter a time will give us an update on the life of Eric and the other great characters of Andy, Adam, Rob, and even Tyler. Another Book 4. would be even better. I really do highly recommend this heartwarming story. This is the first of @northieI have read and look forward to reading a lot more of his work.

Excellent Chapter! Love the shopping trip. Only getting to read about a chapter ever day or so. Work has kept me running full throttle. At a trade show down in Orlando FL for a few days. Maybe I can break away and read another one today. Keep up the great work @northie

Thanks for the Great chapter Mark. I don't know if J.J. can be rehabbed or not, but if anyone can help him I believe it is Kris. If he can't, I hope you make the bus fully loaded with fat people.

Great Chapter! Freshman year is finally beginning. I don't think any of the roommates really know who Will is. I don't think they have put two and together yet. I don't blame Will for getting off the mailing. I wouldn't want to be involved in it either. I bet Will get Thor in bed within a weeks time. Marie may try them each one out. Can't wait for the next one.

Wow! What an Escorial dinner that was. Everyone taking sides. Going to be interesting how this one day is going to shape the future of this story. I bet JJ is heading to Ohio to confront Jim Crampton. Wonder how that is going to turn out. He may end up seeing that Brad was a better Dad than he thought he was. When the next chapter is released, I intend to pop some popcorn and get a frozen mug out of the freezer, open a bottle of beer and pour it in before I start reading. Thanks Mark for all the excitement!

It is sad that a story this good was left as it is. I normally not a big fan of Sci-fi type stories. But once in a blue moon I will run across one that I really like. And this was one of them. Could have just kept reading all the do overs he could have come up with. The Do over series was one of my favorites. Douglas DD and author on another site had a couple of excellent sci fi stories that kept me reading till way in the night for a few days.
-
I think the plane was sent to get Darius. Crampton should have his own plane. Sounds like JP is going to handle talking with Jim.
-
I also think that Stef has something in the works when he excused himself for a while, then after he was back for a while and the plane was brought up, he said it was unavailable. Could it be JJ's shrink back in NY, or Matt, or may the woman that he worships that runs Mode magazine. I can't think of her name right now. But he does have something up his sleeve. @Mark ArbourI know it sounds like a broken record, but great chapter. Keep you the hard work. You are appreciated!

I hope the meeting isn't to send Granger back to Russia. I love the Bridgemont Series. But Northern Exposure was my least favorite book in the series. I wanted George out of there after about 5 or so chapters after he arrived. So I for one hope he never goes back there.

Another Great Chapter! Looking forward to the next one!!!

Well JJ and Kris have each other to lean on since they both found out this weekend that they really aren't who they thought they were, or what everyone back in NYC believe they are. To keep their status they both need these new facts to stay known only to the family and Casey. I do think that Kris will be hired by Stef and Brad to handle their investments. But that may all depend on JJ not running Kris off. We have yet to hear how Kris is going to react about what JJ said to Will. He was pissed off about him not wanting to wait ad pick them up at the airport, how is he going to react to this. Eagerly waiting on the next chapter.

So many great comment on this chapter. And every one of them make a really good point. JJ has never been on of my favorites at all. But since Kris has come into the picture I have been warming up to him at times and hoping that Kris could really be good for him. JJ was thinking about Kris's situation made him put 2 and 2 together and finally realize that Brad wasn't his father after all his life thinking he was. I can see where he could be enraged by it and start lashing out. Deep down I don't think he really meant to hurt Brad or Will. He doesn't rationalize like a normal person does. He never has. Once he realizes what he has actually done, he will try to rectify the wrong. I know both Brad and Will are hurt by his actions, I just hope they understand the shock he is going thru. Hopefully they all can work it out. Another great chapter Mark. You really know how to get reactions out of all of your followers. That just proves how good a writer you are. Keep up the great work, you are appreciated!!!

I believe it should be Stef that goes and talks to JJ about what is going to happen tomorrow with their meeting with Kris. JJ loves and respects Stef. I know he loves Will, but there is really no respect at all for him. JJ will listen to Stef, and if Stef tells him not to spill it to Kris and to be ready support him to the fullest when it is all spelled out in the meeting JJ will do as told. But that is if JJ himself doesn't get so paranoid about what might happen to his relationship with Kris that he panics and it all comes out. Another great chapter with all the core family involved. Wish the next chapter was already released.

Excellent chapter. Love that the Royal Family got to see Grangers little getaway home on the Isle of Wright. And Carmella staged a great performance for both the Royal Family and the Fleet. Her popularity should soar not only in London but other large cities in Britain. Dr. Jackson should see what he can do for Princess Amelia. But Granger has to be careful or the Royal Family may try to steel not only his chef, but his doctor too. I assume Dr. Jackson is on Endymion. Thanks Mark, patiently waiting for the next chapter.
