  1. November 8, 2004 Silver Star Los Angeles, CA Brad “I’ve been looking forward to meeting you,” Derek Greer said as he shook my hand. He was in his early thirties and could probably best be classified as pretty. He had light brown hair, hazel eyes, and a chin with a cute dimple in it. The only detraction from his appearance, if it could be considered a flaw, was that he was only 5’7” tall. “Derek Greer. Call me Derek.”
  2. Thanks! Evidently pays to specialize. 😃
  3. November 5, 2004 New York, NY Will The jet copter landed, and while Manhattan’s skyline gleamed in the background, my eyes were on Travis as he stood by Jeremy’s Maybach, anxiously waiting for me. I had to wait for the rotors to stop before I got out, because it would be a relatively unpleasant visit if I were decapitated as soon as I got here. “You came to pick me up!” I said to Travis enthusiastically. I gave him a big hug, even as the jet

    November 4, 2004 Harvard Cambridge, MA Will “So where are you taking me out to eat?” I asked Finn, trying to be upbeat to help him deal with his confrontation with Frankie. “I’m not taking you anywhere,” he said, his bitchiness returning with gusto. “You said you would,” I pointed out. “You said that you were going to have mercy on my dorky freshman ass and buy me some food.” He looked at me, trying not to sm

  10. November 2, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Brad “Well this is certainly depressing,” I said wryly, as I watched the election returns rolling in. “I cannot believe the American people are so fucking stupid that they’re going to re-elect this moron. Don’t they get that this guy led us into a war that we didn’t need to fight? Don’t they see what complete assholes he and his vice president are?” “Evidently they do not,” JP sai
  11. I am so sorry you had to endure that. I love that you seem to have recovered from it, and that you sound so happy with your life!
  12. There is no question he did. He would probably have done it around the time Elon bought Twitter.
  13. I hope your relationship is more secure and long lasting than the ones in this series. 😄
  14. October 31, 2004 The Ritz Carlton New York, NY Jeremy We paused in front of a huge mirror so we could admire ourselves, or at least that’s what I was doing. I was dressed in a style that would have been popular in the 1780s, before the French Revolution. I had on a waistcoat heavily embroidered in silver that went down to my upper thighs, and that was covered by a silver-blue coat that ended at the middle of my thighs. The f
  15. I’ll bet it does and you’re just being modest.
  16. I don’t think Daventry is as clueless ass we may think. He is much too astute to miss the signs.
  17. November 25, 1801 The Tuileries Palace Paris, France “This is a beautiful party,” Caroline said. They were standing in the big hall watching as the dancers performed a quadrille. The edges of the room were ringed by chairs, while at the ends people merely stood and watched. Granger, Caroline, and Daventry were at the end near the entry, making it appear as if they’d just gotten there, when in fact they had been watching the crowd for some time.

    I’m working on it.
  19. October 31, 2004 Weld Hall Cambridge, MA Will “Who the fuck are you supposed to be?” Niko asked me. He, Scotty, Fab, and Thor were going as singers in the Outkast “Hey Ya!” video. Three of them were the backup singers in green pants, a white turtleneck, a black sweater vest, and black boots that almost went up to their knees. Niko was dressed in blue-and-green plaid pants, a green shirt with white buttons, white suspenders an

  21. This.
  22. Based on Jeremy’s past, when would have been a good time to tell him?
  23. Actually, it depends on the asset class. Large and mid cap are mostly efficient so it’s tough to beat the market. Small caps offer an opportunity to do that.
  24. October 28, 2004 Weld Hall Cambridge, MA Will “That went better than I thought it would,” Thor said to Nils and me. “That wasn’t what I was expecting either,” I said, then turned to face Nils. “Dude, you were awesome.” “Thanks,” he said, then looked down shyly. It was funny that Thor’s accent was normally pretty subtle, but when he was with Nils, his Minnesota-ness was much more obvious. “Mom and Dad want m
