Not being facetious. I don't recall ever hearing the term, although I pretty much immediately could guess what it meant. The NHL simply calls them advanced stats. NFL, if I've heard a corresponding, term, I don't remember it. I don't follow baseball any more than being able to name one player, and only because I looked who the best current Braves player was specifically for this story. Basketball, same thing, looking up a specific player (the tallest in the NBA, Bobovich or something like that), for a story. I can however, name dozens from many years ago for both baseball and basketball. I'll pass on being more specific about nifty, because most, if not all, of my stories there fall outside of GA's guidelines. Acronymic hints, LBDLL, and TGBOB are the two related. Color me surprised, acronymic didn't get a red squiggly line. Here I thought I was making up a word. Dang it.

And thank you. Would have been nothing wrong with making it longer, I just got to a point where I didn't really have any ideas to move it forward. A couple questions and a comment. 1. Why? Is Mahomes gay? Not a Chiefs fan, nor a fan of his. 2. Sabermetrics. That's measuring the size of sabertooth tiger teeth, right? Ain't they extinct? That'd be a pretty boring job. I know it's spelled differently. 3. I've often considered revisiting some of my previous characters. I did write one short sequel after closing out the story, on nifty. Cory and Roy are up there among the favorite characters I've created, so who knows?

Thanks. The next one has a pretty rough start, so maybe a HEA ending there will be in the cards.

Sunday Christmas dinner with the Stones was great. Now the best part of Christmas is happening. Cory's spending the night. It's not like that's unusual, but he said he had a special present for me. He already gave me a really nice Falcons shirt, so I'm thinking, well, hoping, it's something more personal. A lot more personal. We left his house around seven PM. We got to my house and told my parents we were going to play video games in my room. Dad asked if he could see me in his office

It came from the dark recesses of my demented mind. I did say Jackson had a hidden agenda. I didn't say it was nice. But, yes, good will win out over evil.

Oh, wow. I never thought of that. Thanks for the compliment!!

My painting a picture with words was successful. Cool.

I'd expect nothing less. It will require a graphic violence warning, and I hope it will meet your standards. The one you'll see in 21 is tame, the other? Not a chance.

Wow. You're even more twisted than I am. No, I'm done with Lacy's sister. Sometimes assholes don't need to be a lot of motivation, but it will come out, no pun intended, in chapter 22. It was touched upon, but easy to miss, many chapters ago. If it's not clear after 22 is published, I'll gladly point it out.

Evil for sure. I needed a twist; things were going too well. The question will be answered, probably chapter 22.

Bars are definitely in their future, no alcohol to be found. Dark turns are my specialty. Well, no, not really.

Are you new? J/K, but I think you know how well I treat bad guys in my stories. J & Z ain't getting away with nuttin'. A nice guy? Hmmmm, what a concept. 😇

Thursday I knew sooner or later I'd have to talk to Jackson again. I called him Thursday, expecting him to apologize profusely. I wasn't disappointed. "Dylan. I'm so glad you called. I was afraid you wouldn't. I'm really very sorry. It won't happen again." He got that right. "Yeah, well, I'm still not completely over it. But I didn't want to leave you hanging until the weekend." "Can we see each other?" He sounded hopeful. "No. I'm going out of town with Dominic, Da

I'm sorry the chapter disappointed you. Unfortunately, not everyone shares the same views. I will tell you, though, there are no more instances like this, if you wish to continue reading. There are quite a few OMG or OG phrases, though. On a more personal note, Dominic's response to his mother's death was exactly the same as mine for my first wife. So, no malice intended.

Nope. I have a box hanging behind my laptop screen. Always be prepared. And I was never even a boy scout.

My first review, so I hope that counts for something. It's hard to say anything new after all the wonderful reviews already posted, but my thoughts anyway: While the story is heartbreaking at times, more often than not, you will walk away from reading a chapter or two feeling good. You'll love the characters, well, except for the ones you're supposed to hate. You'll figure that out easily. I sincerely wish this was a true story. If there were more people like Max and Stacy in this world, it would be a much better place. We could all use a dose of their love, kindness, and most importantly, tolerance.

As with the rest of the story, a wonderful job, Craig. As I said before, the characters are so real, I'm waiting for them to knock on my door. Well, not really. Current plan is to be in the UK in September for my daughter's wedding. She's engaged to a young man who lives east of Manchester. I don't know if I'll get to see the sights, but will be at the airport.✈️ Dr. S, after 15 chapters, a tissue warning is not required, it should have been obvious. I have only one complaint. It's over. Waaaaaah!

Interesting view. I hadn't thought of that. Very nice.

Happy I could make you laugh. Definitely was meant as a tongue-in-cheek line.

Glad to hear it. See, I’m not all gloom and doom.

Well, you have to be right once in a while. But there is a little twist to it. Next season, I don't know that there'd be too much different to say there, so I don't see a lot of football being the topic.

Yeah, I couldn't keep having Beth hounding him.

Sunday Cory and I didn't get much time to talk today, he had a lot of family things going on and they didn't head home until late. We had a short conversation while he was in the car coming home. I told Cory that coach was having an end-of-season meeting after school Monday. Monday School went well. I couldn't wait to see Cory's face at the wrap-up. Coach gave out a couple player awards first. I got defensive player of the year, Andy Anderson got offensive player of the year. Ther

You get to go along in spirit in a couple days. I don't spend a lot of words on the trip's details, though. More things that are a mite twisted to cover, instead.

Thanks. I think you add a lot of the 'what's going on in their minds,' but I'm learning.
