"The Birdcage" LOL!!!

I have enjoyed this story. I look forward to reading more of Eric's changing for the better life, and Andy and Adam's as well. Keep upt the great work.

I like the pace of this story too. Each chapter draws you in more and more. I am really beginning to really like this story. Look forward to reading more as I can find some time. Thanks @northieYour authors really are appreciated for what you bring to us readers.

Great chapter @Mark ArbourThe trip to France in going to be very, very interesting.

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!!!

Thank you Mark for this latest chapter! You are the best!

Thank you @Mark Arbourfor an excellent chapter. Keep them coming!

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.

Congratulations on your retirement. I hope you have many years of fun and enjoyment during retirement!

Great chapter. I can't wait until Sunday dinner at Escorial. Jack, Luke, Claire, an informed Kris, Will leaving Travis for Boston, Mari leaving Ryan. May be the Sunday dinner of all time. Love it!

Congratulations, Sir Francis!! Great chapter. Like I stated a couple of chapters ago. I love 3somes. And I love Winkler. He is my only second to George as my favorite character in this entire story. Not only a dedicated servant, but a very trusted friend to George. Hope the next chapter comes soon. Love this story.

Well Luke and Claire went very well. Jack may have fucked up this time. Would be really funny if Luke and Claire get real serious. She may be just what Luke has been looking for all this time, and Claire may get a new lease on life. I guess I was hoping JJ might turn out for the better with Kris. But don't know if the little fucker can ever change and just be a lost cause. Great chapter Mark, looking forward for the next one.

Great, great chapter. Granger is riding a high at the moment. I just hope it continues without any hitch's. Sophia may be one, but I think Granger will politely put her in line, or some of his fan's may take care of her keeping her quiet. Hope the next chapter is coming soon.

Very interesting chapter. And it is going to be even more interesting how all this is going to work out. Could have two very fucked up young guys, JJ and Kris. JJ only if Kris falls apart. But I think JJ will both support and cling to Kris and support him. All the rest of the family is going to have to somehow show a real support for the both of them. Not just JJ. Finding out he has no large inheritance coming to rely on. He has to be convinced he can build his own wealth in his investment banking field. Maybe having a substantial investment portfolio from one of the world's wealthiest families to manage will get a huge promotion for him at work. The firm may not have had any of their business in the past. Status and future wealth is what Kris has longed for a while now. I think a family title may become a mute past if his future looks promising and secure. May also give JJ a project to make sure he can show him off with the NYC elite. But there maybe a better way to keep this form being a total disaster, just my thoughts. Looking forward to more.

Another great chapter. Hope to find time to read two more tonight, but will just have to see. Love this story.

Thank you @Bndmetl. Aother Great chapter!

I think in about any story that the characters visit San Antonio, the River Walk will be favored. It's a beautiful place hopping with both locals and tourist. It is probably more popular than the Alamo is. I have enjoyed my time on the River Walk on both my trips to the city.
