    Yes, that's very true. Since he's still single and doesn't have his own family, Robert is just a big kid at heart.

    I guess that is always a possibility, but be patient and you shall discovered what you seek.

    For those who don't get Danilo's first comment, it's from the Castaway Hotel. Mark Williams is the young man Josh helped out and is now taking care of all of the financial affairs of both the family and the charitable foundation they run to help others. Danilo, if you're suggesting a bank robbery, I don't believe Devin would do that. Remember, he has to use his ability to do good, not evil. And I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.

    Yes, I'm sure they are all anxious to see a couple of things. The first is what the reservation is like, since Pops is the only one who's been there, and the second is for Mac to discover what his training will be like. Some of those questions will be answered in the next chapter.

    You'll see, but my guess is they'll be making quite a few trips off the reservation to get their meals.

    Yes, those statistics are accurate, but hopefully that won't happen, since they are guests of the shaman.

    Yes, Devin and Mac are doing very well at college, and some of that may be attributed to the fact that they developed some very good study skills in high school. After all, they didn't get to be valedictorians without having good study skills.

    Yes, they manage to do a lot of fun things together.

    Yes, Robert is the only one who's single and doesn't have a family to worry about, so he can be the happy-go-lucky uncle that all of the kids like. Yes, I'm sure you are sad when you have to leave your daughters because of your job, but hopefully it isn't for extended periods of time.

    The grandfathers have never mentioned anything to explain why they have such good hearing, so I can't give you an answer, but since they don't age as rapidly as the rest of us, it may be that they've always had good hearing. As far as Devin's A minus in Personal Finance, that was merely the elective he chose to fulfill one of the Core Curriculum requirements that everyone has to take, but he never explained why he only got an A minus in it. Since it was an elective, it's possible he didn't worry as much about that course as those in his majors and merely overlooked something during his studies.

    Chapter 23 – Another Sendoff After we had supper with his parents, Devin made a comment to his dad. “I hope you don’t mind, but we want to go to Raskin’s Café so we can check our grades before we leave in the morning. We’ll have to order something because that’s the way we pay for them letting us use their Wi-Fi, so we’ll just have dessert.” “Ok, but let me give you some money to cover the tab.” “Thanks, Dad,” Devin said as he took the bills. Yeah, thanks, Mr. McCaskill.

    Mac has a daunting road ahead of him, but Devin has given him a head start and will be there to guide him afterward as well. I'm sorry to hear about your weather and I hope you have air conditioning. I also hope you're prepared for a more severe hurricane season as well, because with the ocean getting warmer it means the hurricanes may be more powerful this year.

    I hope I'm not taxing you too much and you have to resort to tutorials from the Khan Academy, but I'm glad you're finding this interesting. I'm sure Mac will benefit greatly from what Devin has already taught him, because it will give him less to learn when he gets to the reservation. It's like having a tutor you have during the summer teach you the material of a course you'll be taking in the fall.

    Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed this story. If you haven't noticed, this series has many more books, so you might want to read those as well.
  15. Bill W
    Yes, that is the best give of all, and I'm sure the boys would agree with us.
  16. Bill W
    Yes, it's much better if they live close by and you get to spend time with them. Unfortunately, for many grandparents that isn't the case.

    Please do not confuse the word anise for anus.
  18. Bill W
    Anise can be used to decrease bloating, reduce flatulence, and settle the digestive tract. It is commonly used in pediatrics.

    Don't let him fool you. He's not a victim. 🙃
  20. Bill W
    Yes, but there are some people that only understand or respond to violence.
  21. Bill W
    Back when I wrote this, prices weren't so high, so it wouldn't have been difficult for a man with Josh's background and income to support the boys. I hope that answers your questions.
  22. Bill W
    Yes, unfortunately it is too common, and I agree with you, it's sickening.

    Chapter 32 - Bonding

    Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 32 - Bonding

    It was never clear how many sexual partners he had before he came to live with Josh, but he had a physical and got a clean bill of health. It's just that in the US at that time circumcision was very, very common, so someone with foreskin was a fascination to others. It's nothing to worry about.
  24. Bill W
    I agree with Krista.

    I'm working on a story for the anthology, provided I stay healthy and the creeks don't rise.
