Thanks, Tom. Progress, yes. There's a possible way to save the Raven Project, and Elias' name is out there as a real talent now. Though, as we can see, that may carry a risk along with it too.

Thanks, Danilo. Nope, they're all critically-minded guys, but particularly the two ex-cops with 40+ years of combined experience. Harlan and Gary ... yeah, I liked that scene too. I'm glad it impacted you. 🙂 They're talking theirs, and have no idea what the boys might be up to. They're likely to find out!

I have one word. "Tease."

Heh. Thanks, Parker. There's a lot happening, and a lot yet to occur. I'm glad you're here to see it.

Thanks, Fae. Yes, I couldn't put it better. Minds are plotting while lives go on heedless of those plots.

Thank you. I'm happy you're along for the ride and more, that you're enjoying it. We'll just have to see how the drama with Elias unfolds. If his watchful guardians have any say then he'll be fine. Stay tuned. 🙂

Of course! I'm so happy that you liked it. You're very welcome.

Thanks, KayDeeMac! 😄

Thanks, Tonyr! Happy holidays to you and yours. You're very welcome!

Happy Holidays to you as well, Tom. I do hope it's a great one for you!

Thanks! 😄

Hahaha. Oh, fine. https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Sausage_-Kale-and-Potato-Soup-9108445?prm-v1 This one is very close. Corbin also chops up sundried tomatoes very fine and drops them in for a hint of sweet, and "what is that?" from partakers of the soup. Thanks for reading. 🙂

Thanks, Chris!

Merow! There's one running about now! 🙂

Thanks, Jeffrey. I'm happy you enjoyed it. And more, glad that you're enjoying Camp Refuge.

He's mostly honest. Mostly. 😉

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

July 08 (Sunday, 8:22 a.m.) "My Don, you should see these." Vincent Costa turned his brown eyes from the ledger before him to his capo. The man stood across from his desk, and in his hand held some large, glossy papers. They all knew better than to disturb him without cause, but Vincent still wanted the fellow to know that he was annoyed. He stared at the younger man until he began to sweat, but his capo didn't waver. The Don of the Costa motioned at his desk. "Put them down and leav

I'm sorry, Sir. I shall not name my sources!

I can't imagine that, having so few options available when the news is dropped like a freaking bomb on you. I work in medicine, and that's probably my saving grace. I know a registered dietitian personally, and she is going to sit with me to go over some information I already dug up - either to give the nod of approval or send me into a different direction. I'm really thankful for my coworkers right now! Your lovely husband gave me some good advice. he said, "Be good 95% of the time." I think if I can do that, then I'll be all right. I'm glad you have tim. Someone to make sure you are eating good, satisfying, and different things. That's important. A man can't have grilled cheese every night. 😉

Thanks, Thorn! Oh, they'd better get him out of there before he goes crazy. You know it could happen! And yes, Oberon shares his name with a certain feline roommate of mine. Hehehe

Thanks, Fae. I had always planned to add it. It was time. 🙂

It was Christmas Eve in Hailey, Idaho. It wasn't currently snowing, but the ground was still crunchy with a four-inch layer of frozen, white snow that had turned to ice thanks to the low temperatures. Paul stood outside of the fire station. He still wore his jumpsuit and waved goodbye to his relief. "I owe you, Joe." The time just approached six p.m., and thanks to Joe, Paul could put his plan into motion. The man narrowed his eyes and shook a finger at Paul. His breath was visible in th

I'll be pissed if I die too. I have too much to do. Thanks, Thorn. 🙂

Thank you, Fae. My father died of a massive heart attack, but my mother is still going strong. Her heart seems to be made of some pretty stern stuff, and has always been healthy cardiovascularly. Maybe I'll luck out there. My sodium is fine, blood sugar too. So that's good. I'm exploring options for vitamin D supplementation through my diet, and I saw that mushrooms were one of the things recommended. They're cholesterol-free too, so win-win. They're going to retest my levels at the end of the ninety day period. Otherwise the insurance will see the repeated testing as unnecessary, and I'll foot the bill for the whole cost of those additional tests. As it is, I'll probably have to pay for the ones at ninety days (for those living outside the US, this is what for profit healthcare systems look like). I am feeling less overwhelmed and forcing myself to be more conscious. I have coworkers who invited me to lunch today, and I had to say no. They're going to go to have Mexican food, and that's just a minefield for me. Instead, I'm having a turkey wrap with cheddar cheese. It has 30% of my allowable cholesterol for the day, and is my first dose of the stuff. I have to put in the work. No matter what else I do, most of that is paying a lot of attention to what I eat.
