    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
  3. Happy Birthday, Rustle! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  4. Yes, it doesn't appear that it's over yet, so you'll have to wait to see what happens. Thanks for the feedback, Stephen.
  5. When the family finished swimming and climbed out of the water a short time later, Mike and Adam moved away from the others so they could discuss what had happened in private. They wanted to talk about the gunshots they had heard and mull over what they both suspected. “Do you think someone else found the clearing with the marijuana plants, but this time those two guys shot the person?” Adam asked, as soon as they were alone. “I don’t know, but I’m worried something like that might have gon

    A Close Call

    It was still raining the following morning, but it was a warm, gentle rain. Undeterred by the weather, the fathers and sons sauntered down to the rowboat to try their hand at fishing. Mike rowed the boat out to the middle of the lake and then they all cast their lines into the water. After more than an hour, they had only managed to catch a couple of fish, but they judged them to be too small to keep. After releasing them back into the lake, they had nothing to show for their effort. That
  10. Happy Birthday, MrM! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  11. Happy Birthday, Tor! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more. I hope it's not sweet sixteen and never been kissed. Hehehe. If so, correct that problem!
  12. Happy Birthday, Steve! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  13. I'm a huge fan of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, so here's the second for your enjoyment. I love the heavy Russian overtones at the beginning, if if you listen carefully later, you'll hear a theme that was made into a pop song in the 70s.

    The Kritzers

    On Monday, the boys talked their parents into taking a canoe ride on the lake. They decided to do it in family groups, so it would put three people in each canoe. “Dad you sit in front. Mom you get in the middle. I’ll be in the back,” Mike offered. “The rest of you can use the same arrangement in the other canoe. Adam and I went on canoe trips with friends over spring break during our sophomore and junior years while we were at State, so we probably have the most experience. Since the per
  15. Happy Birthday, DaddyD! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more. I apologize for being tardy with your birthday greeting! Please forgive me!
  16. Happy Birthday, Foopy! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  17. Congratulations, Val!

    At the Lake

    Sunday after lunch, Adam’s parents said goodbye to everyone and prepared to return home. They both had to work the following day, as did Mike’s parents, so they needed to get going. It was an emotional farewell for Rita, since she didn't want to be separated from Adam, but she understood she’d be seeing him again in a few weeks. “So are we going on vacation this year?” Mike asked, just as soon as the Washburns had driven away. “Yes, we are,” his father answered simply. “Well where are w

    Surprises

    Thanks, Skittles, and things are just starting to get interesting. You'll see the families coming together even more, as well as making some new friends along the way. Thanks for the feedback.
  21. Thanks, Skittles, and I hope I don't disappoint you. Adam will be involved in many situations: some deadly, most serious, but a few even humorous. I hope that reassures you a little.

    Surprises

    On the day of the game, there was a fairly large crowd in attendance and Adam positioned himself as close to the field as he could. Even though he didn’t know what Hester or her roommate looked like, it didn’t matter. He knew who Gator was and what number jersey he wore, so he'd just keep an eye on him. Since Adam knew when and how Hester was going to confront him, he figured he would be able to figure out who she was when she did that, so he’d be nearby when it went down. It was a fairly e

    Hester

    Before the spring semester ended, Adam got another request for assistance. It was early April when he received an email from another co-ed. In her request, the girl explained that she had a problem and didn't know how to deal with it. “I don’t know whether you can help me or not, but I have nowhere else to go,” it began. “I’m pretty sure I was raped at a Valentine’s Day party I went to back in February. Since I didn’t have any real proof at the time, I didn't do anything about it. Now, I
  24. It always interesting to watch the types of speculation such a finding will evoke.
  25. The extremes some people will go to interfere with the lives of others, even thought they've done nothing to elicit such hatred, other than being themselves. .
