  1. It's been a couple of years since you last heard from us, and I’m still trying to come to grips with the idea that Brandon and I are finally alone and on our own. Well not exactly alone, since there are others living in the house as well, including our younger son, Noah. However, our older son, Elliot, left a few days ago to attend Yale University. Even though we'd let him use some of the money his father left him to buy a BMW shortly after he turned 18, we were apprehensive about allowing hi
  2. Since this story is based on a previous story (Castaway Hotel: Next Generation), I will provide some background information about each of the characters appearing or mentioned in this book. This information is for you to reference, but I shall attempt to explain who they are when I mention them in this story so you won’t have to continually look characters up here. I hope this helps you follow and understand the story better. This information is accurate for when this story begins, late
  3. The story of the Castaway Hotel continues, but this time with Danny relaying the story and taking charge. How will things go as the Hotel continues to add new residents?

  6. It's a shame. He was so young and had so much to offer. RIP, Adam.
  7. There was another post about this too. Adam hasn't been around for a while, but he will be missed.
  8. Happy Birthday, Emoe57! E, my editor and main man at G.A. I wish you the very best! I hope it's a great one and may you enjoy many, many more.

    Another Year

    Mike’s parents showed up at the Washburn's home shortly after noon on New Year’s Eve Day. Everyone was happy to be together again and greeted each other warmly. They then went into the dining room to enjoy a cup of coffee and chat. “I’m really looking forward to going to the Homeless Shelter with you,” Dave began, while slowly looking at each of the other four. “I totally enjoyed what we did at the Mission for Christmas and I’m eager to see how this compares.” “I am too,” Judy added. “We’

    At the Lake

    Thanks, Timmigon, I'm glad you enjoyed it. This chapter was fun to write too, as well as a couple of the ones still to come. I hope you like those as well. Thanks for the feedback.
  13. After Adam dropped Mike off at the Georgetown campus, he made the trip to Johns Hopkins alone. It didn't particularly bother him not to have a passenger though, because he was very familiar with the route between the two campuses. He had driven it so many times that it was now like traveling with an old friend. He merely cranked up the music and watched the road ahead for any signs of trouble. When he arrived at JHU, Adam checked in, unloaded the car and took everything to his room. Then,
  14. Happy Birthday, William!

    Redemption

    In all of the confusion, one of the cops had apparently panicked and fired his weapon. No one was sure if he thought the Korean boy was about to fire or not, but the young man fell to the ground after the gun was discharged. Adam stared in disbelief at the boy's body crumpled in a heap and Adam was unable to detect any movement from him at all. At the same time, the officers hurriedly closed in around the fallen boy, just in case he was able to point the gun at someone again. “He didn’t spe
  16. Happy Birthday, Lacey! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  17. Have a great time out there, and don't forget to practice safe trick-or-treating!
  18. Happy Birthday, Quokka! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.

    The boys spent the week after their trip to Kings Dominion making plans for Christmas break. Adam kept busy writing up a list of the stores, businesses and organizations he wanted his parents to hit up for donations this year. That way he would know which ones to call in advance, so he could prepare them to give when his parents went to collect. Adam had Mike make out a similar list that Mike's parents would use, so Adam could contact those the Bermans were going to solicit as well. Even tho
  20. Kitt, I did a search using the tags for Halloween and came up with fifteen stories.

    Kings Dominion

    The first trip the boys wanted to take was to Kings Dominion, which was just north of Richmond, Virginia. When Adam’s parents arrived home from work Friday evening, the four of them loaded a few things in the family car and then took off. A couple of hours later, George spotted a decent looking local restaurant and decided to stop for dinner. After looking over the menu, Adam and Mike bravely opted to try the house specialty. "You're really going to have the Frogmore Stew?" Rita asked, as s
  22. Happy Birthday, Cynus! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  23. Happy Belated Birthday, Sui! I hope it was a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  24. Happy Birthday, Amonsri! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.

    Legal Remedies

    The following couple of weeks that the boys were still with Mike’s family turned out to be quite uneventful. They were constantly watching and listening to various news reports, as well as reading any related news stories they could find, because they hoped they might be able to learn more about the marijuana growers. They were trying to find out if those guys had been busted or if a body had been found in the area, but there had been no reports of anything like that thus far. Then, one day t
