In 1972, July 4 fell on a Tuesday, not a Wednesday. Just the same, this is a very enjoyable story.

Is this very much the same as the story posted several years ago? Or have you made some significant changes? I was already into "The Next Stage" and remember much of it.

Please refresh my aging memory. In what chapter was there an attempt to kidnap Bryce?

I actually cried.

The Prologue and Chapter 1 are identical.

My memory fails me. What is OBR?

I do not know what places in this story are real and which are fictional. (I believe Thomsponville is fictional.) As I read, I try looking at a map of Australia via OpenStreetMap at [https://www.openstreetmap.org] I am able to find many of the places named. However, I find Macquarie Harbour on the island of Tasmania and Port Macquarie where the plot-line describes Macquarie Harbour. Is this intentional, is this your mistake, or is OpenStreetMap in error?

In my old age (82), my memory is sometimes not great. Please tell me, what is the "project" that is being built? Alternatively, direct me to the book and chapter where that is explained.

Yes, indeed continue. However, I have been waiting a long time for continuation of other of your stories, for example "Discovering Home" and "Shoulder Season". Also, is there a follow-up book to "And A Child is Born"?

“But that’s not fair!” When my daughter was quite young, she would often say that. I broke her of that habit by replying "Fair is where they give pigs blue ribbons."

I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of romance between Jexon and Marcus. No, I was not expecting sex. I generally avoid "suck and fuck" stories, which do not turn me on. If two people love each other enough to become permanent life partners, however, I would expect some hugs, more words of endearment, and other forms of affection. The most romantic passage involved them sitting in separate chairs and watching a sunset. ☹️

Ahhh! Much, much better. And thank you for the explanation. :)

I enjoy the overall story very much. However, this chapter is not readable. Words near the end of a line are broken and continued on the next line. Can this chapter be reformatted and reposted?

I much prefer Leonard Cohen's performance of "Hallelujah" over Wainright’s. De gustibus non est disputandum.

No, I am not getting older. I am already old, and my memory is not always great. Please tell me in which book and which chapter of "The Tampa Chronicles" the event happened that Jeremy is now being charged with assault. I want to reread about the entire event, so please do not summarize it here.
