In the mid 70s I had a part time job south of market. At the intersection of 2nd and Mina there was a hole in the wall place called Mina Diner. They had a daily Blue Plate Special. Certainly no place to find even a single Michelin Star.

I switch between being really annoyed by Jays and feeling sorry for him. With Will I'm either annoyed or impressed, Claire just confuses me, trying to fix (control?) everything but far more clueless than she ought to be coming from this family.

I’ve been wondering if there would be an old Paris connection, but assumed it would be through Steph’s history. I never saw this coming at all. Touche Monsieur Arbor, touché!

I hate to wildly toss around psychology terms, but isn’t JJ’s inability to get what others are experiencing a classic sign of a psychopath? If so, what chance he can move beyond that?
-
Why am I not surprised that Brad avoided his responsibility to tell JJ about his parentage. No one's reactions are surprising, JJ finding out the people around him really did let him down is gonna strike out at all of them for not at least clueing him in even if they themselves didn't know the answers. And of course Will is hurt when he's been the best of all of them about being in JJ's corner, but he knows JJ's basket case mentality and will soon realize JJ is just wrapped up in the moment, JJ predictably being JJ. Except it shows that JJ is starting to grapple with what deep down he must have long wondered, even if unwilling to actually think it.

can someone please tell me how to follow a story, I'm sure its obvious but i cant find it.
-
Has JJ at last met someone who knows how to deal with him, or will he soon find the idea that he can be tamed intolerable and sabotage this relationship? Sadly i believe he will.
-
Ive been away from the Crampton/Schluter clan for a while. Glad to find them and Mr. arbor still in fine form.
-
And what find while he’s antiquing will cue Adam into realizing he’s got to move the study upstairs and reconvert that downstairs room back into a bedroom for someone currently unable to comfortably mount the stairs should that need ever present itself?

the story is drawing me in. just hope they fall in like before they fall in love

I have truly enjoyed the recent spate of activity and was relieved that you didn’t have to forsake Lord Granger to the Vicissitudes of a Baltic winter. It is clear that your ardor and talent have not forsaken you. it seems as if we, along with The Who’s who of England. must wait with gritted teeth to find out what resolutions and what tribulations the reading of the will engenders in the short and long run for all involved. So it seems a cliffhanger is appropriate indeed. I’m not worried, there’s a hint of spring and new life in the air.

A shaky cease fire at best, certainly not an armistice. Still it’s better than open or covert war. How much is it even possible to thaw out JJ and allow him to let himself experience true compassion. Is he too fixed as an ice queen? Its great to have them back. It’s even better to have you back Mark to whatever degree you are able and willing.
-
So glad to see you back. Great re-entry.
-
Mark You are missed. Hope all is well, or as good as it can be in the midst of this worldwide craziness. I hope you are getting any help or support you need.

I remember a scene from an old movie that I saw many years ago. An older man (Maurice Chevalier??) told a young man that it wasn’t the things he had done that he regretted but the things he hadn’t done. Dawson has to do this. If he doesn’t he will spend the rest of his life regretting his choice. It’s great to see Chase finally able to move into the future. Hopefully Hank will be able to as well. First he’s going to have to deal with reality. i really don’t understand why Kevin is being trashed. He tried to score on a rebound, it rarely works out, but it’s hardly shady. Also it’s not like he tricked Hank into anything. If anything the opposite is true. Hank led Kevin to believe Chase was history. Anyhow, just my view on things.
-
Not sure why, but all I can hear in my head is “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”
-
Woah, is it possible Hank had to deal with his true feelings during his weekend with Kevin? Could he have felt like he was cheating on Chase, as Chase did when he kissed Dawson? Good chapter.
-
Friendship is rarely a possibility, at least until a lot of water has passed under the bridge. Once someone has really moved on perhaps. Neither Hank nor Chase seem to be real good about moving on. Nor do I believe either of them really wants to, even if they knew how. It seems that Hank just can’t put his hurt aside enough to see how it could ever work for him.
-
Someone on speaking terms with both of them should probably try to get them to agree to a 30 or 60 day cooling off period with the proviso that they seek couples counseling, even if that only leads to a less hostile breakup. I can’t see Hank agreeing to that. I’m sure he’s convinced he has all the facts and needs no outside input from anyone.
-
Very emotionally complex. It seems Hank has been Chase’s rock, his anchor for a long time, especially since Chase has shut out his father and sister. After Chase’s mother was gone Hank saw an opportunity to move forward, only to be sucker punched twice in a very few minutes. Meanwhile he’s probably not even aware that there’s a good chance he’s got some survivors guilt to deal with himself. Yes, Hank is being a sanctimonious PITA. So ... ? Someone I knew used to say “People generally do the best they can. Sometimes it’s not all that good. But it’s the best they can manage at that point in time .” I think all these people are doing just that. Good job On the characters. Very believable. I’m hooked.
-
He had it coming, he had it coming ... good for Dan. It is the only HEA ending out there for him. I’ve also been there and (after 6 years) done that. Hurt like hell. It was more than 20 years ago. I wish things could have been different, but like Dan I realized they never would be, and I haven’t had one minute of regret. Hopefully Dan won’t either, because I’m sure Scott won’t give up.
-
Clearly Chase is in over his head and suffering depression. I don’t think Hank is being honest with himself about his feelings. You don’t love someone enough to ask them to marry you and then dump them because of a moment of weakness. Especially in the gay world, at least the one I’ve lived in for the last 40 years.
