Thanks for the feedback. Let's see, have I done the hassles at a funeral before? Yeah, maybe this one won't be troublesome. I guess we'll have to wait and see. (Well, @Zuri may already know.)
It's tough to let them go, I think a lot of us are old enough to have gone through the loss of a parent. My story is similar. Mom was in the hospital for a week or so, was fading fast. On the last day, I was there with her, held her hand and said we'd be OK, she can let go. A little while later, she did.
I have no real preference between microsoft and apple. I have an iPhone purely for the reason when I got my current hearing aids, they were able to pair with Apple products. I use windows and word because I've used them since windows 3.1.
The three of us headed to the airport after school and a quick bite to eat. You guessed it: pizza. I sent a text to Brandon before we boarded the plane, and he told me where to go when leaving the terminal. He made it easy: we just needed to take the Hotel's shuttle to the Airport Marriott—which was pretty much at the airport. That's why they called it what they did, I guess. For that, I’m glad we had an idea where to go—this place is fucking huge and busy. I made sure to keep the kids close.
Oooh. That would not be good.
One thing that leaves me expecting potential troubles still, the 'G' word was never mentioned. Liam's and Mike's definitions of where the line is may not be the same.

It's not obvious because I'm not consistently using dates, but this is occurring in late October/early November, so a baseball game wouldn't be in the picture. The trip to St. Maarten was over Columbus Day weekend, second weekend in October. Although a freak-out at the stadium could have been fun to write.
All perfectly valid points. I'd say most of the unintended consequences weren't even considered by me, so I guess that's my fault. But the story goes on and these subjects are not really hit too hard after the next chapter.
Your comments echoed a few others. It comes out in the sequel, but Carlo does continue the informal Tae Kwon Do lessons; just too late for him at this point in the story.
