December 4, 2004 The Rose Bowl Stadium Pasadena, CA Will “You can’t talk about it?” Travis shouted. “Fuck that. You are going to fucking tell me everything!” “Calm down,” I said to him firmly. He glared at me, but our eyes met and slowly he managed to restrain himself. Travis surprised me when he got up, and I was even more shocked as he started to strip his clothes off. It was impossible for me not to appreciat

Jeremy may live in New York but he’s had a strong modern flair. He’ll do great in MB. Well that’s damn near perfect.

Interesting story, plus I learned a new word: grotty.

I experimented with this story by using AI. I first wrote it, then fed it into CHAT GPT and asked it to make the language and dialog current. As I'm not 18 anymore, I'm not completely up to speed on slang, etc. AI did a pretty good job of bringing it up to a more contemporary level, but beyond that, I found that it was not all that useful. My regular readers will probably notice it, while no one else probably will. Not sure if I'd do that again, but it was kind of fun.

Sometimes you are a pain in the ass. Maybe the BDE is real.

December 3, 2004 LAX Los Angeles, CA Will The Falcon touched down gently onto the runway, then braked furiously as it slowed to a taxi speed. “You seem nervous,” I said. “I am not nervous,” Travis lied. “Just so you know, this time I arranged our transportation out here,” I said, teasing him. “So there will be no abductions on this trip.” “Good to know,” he said, but gave me a slight smile to acknowledge my

I am so proud of you! Congratulations! -
We don't know what happened to Ranger. He sort of drifted out of the story. Matheus's whereabouts are uncertain at this point. We can assume that he was at sea. We'll hear from him later. There are inevitably loose ends that I ultimately have to close. Thanks for the prompt.

That’s what HELOCS (home equity lines of credit) are for.

They do. 😃 I actually had this one cued up to publish today by mistake. I tried to fix it last night but that is damn near impossible.

November 30, 2004 Tribeca New York, NY Jeremy I held my phone in my hand, watching the clock as it got closer and closer to 5:00pm. When that milestone was reached, it rang, and I smiled when I saw that it was Kris. “Good evening,” I said cheerfully as I answered his call, my vain attempt to pretend that everything was perfect between us. “Good evening to you too,” Kris said pleasantly, which kind of surprised me. I’d f

A couple of thoughts: 1. As much as Brad and Will love each other, they find dealing with each other to be challenge. Sheer frustration probably makes Brad act that way. 2. Maybe Brad did handle Will to get the results he wanted.

November 30, 2004 Harvard University Cambridge, MA Will I was so deep into my study zone that I didn’t hear my phone the first time it rang. I grabbed it after the second ring and saw that it was my father. “Hey,” I said as I answered, trying to sound like I hadn’t just been on an entirely different planet. “Hi,” he said coldly. “Jake and I are flying out to meet with you and Travis. We’ll be in Boston tonight.” Ther

I’m allowing myself a lot of poetic license on the house, but I choose roughly the same location as Bridgewater House. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_House,_Westminster Since we’re at peace, probably not a lot of cannonades, but I’ll try to make it interesting anyway. Really? What does it say on the tomb?

You are right, and I stand corrected. They were still using cess pits. What surprised me was that even back then, people were paying for clean water. Right again.
