In the aftermath of 9-11, I remember the most touching thing, the thing that impacted me the most, was the outpouring of support from the international community. Just so you know, it mattered. Alot. Of course they'll all be in the hotel, and safely evacuated as soon as the planes hit. (Snarky grin)

And I know you understand how rewarding it is to propel someone to do research on a topic. I'm smiling. I'm hoping that you all are happy I tackled it when it's all over.

The Marriott was destroyed when the towers collapsed on top of them, but I think the loss of life was minimal (if any) because they evacuated the hotel. The lesson you hope that Brad and Stef learn is really one we all learned after that horrible day: the little bullshit things really don't matter.

We'll have to rely on Jeremy to come up with something just as ominous as the Jaws theme song, but more contemporary. I would avoid mushrooms or acid before you read the chapters. :-)

I have to say (as an American) that I continue to be influenced by those attacks. I sit in my nice suburb, safe behind a top-notch fire and police department, protected by prying NSA eyes, while others around the world suffer rocket, drone, and even chemical weapon attacks. It's made their suffering seem more real to me.

I think the 9-11 attacks are synonymous with the Kennedy Assassination to a much older (SMILE) generation. Everyone remembers where they were, and what they were doing.

You're probably right. :-)

Yeah, but I thought his features should be rounder. More Evan Waddle-ish. -
Knots? Probably for a bit. At least until mis-September. :-)
-
Links are fine. I remember it too. It was freaky and horrible. Since you even did research, I'll evaluate my posting schedule. :-)

Brace yourself.

September 4, 2001 “Good morning,” I said to Grand as I walked into the kitchen. I was lying, and he could tell. “Good morning,” he responded. “You seem a bit apprehensive.” I shrugged. “John told me that something was up, so I’m a little nervous.” “Indeed?” he asked. “You said things were alright at school.” “People have pretty much settled down, unless they have to shake my hand or something, then they act like I have the plague,” I said, m

Chapter 34 should post within the next hour and a half.

Thanks so much for posting reviews! I'm pretty confident that sticking with family is something that is almost a given where Will is concerned.
-
Brad and Robbie are at a good place, where they can fight and/or disagree, but in the end, they love each other enough not to freak out about it, like they would have just a few years ago. Part of that is probably Robbie's focus on his business, which is obviously important to him since he's hanging out working on spreadsheets on a weekend night. ;-)

Thanks for the review, and for taking the time to register and read my stories here! That's awesome. And I loved your summary, especially your comment about Stef. I think that JP didn't react so strongly to HPV because he knows that drama begest drama, and because he understands that it isn't really that big of a deal in the greater scheme of things.

Like you, I tend to lump Menlo into the same basic category as H-W, and assume they're somewhat similar. I also had the same question about cameras, but I really don't know, so I'm defaulting to go with they don't have them. Yet.

I love your reviews, Kody. I'll do my usual thing and pick up on the issue you raised with Tony. I wonder if his return to Paly will be a bad thing for Will. I suspect that Will could use some closure with him. But I think Will's friendship with Tony is way more important to Tony than it is to Will. And it's really unlikely for Will to turn a friend away. So we'll just have to see if Will still considers Tony a friend.
-
You really summed things up nicely in your review. I wonder if Stef listened. You'll get your next installment within hours, as a Labor Day present.
-
We'll get to see Brad's point of view in a few chapters, so you'll get your wish. I think Robbie did a nice job of summarizing his position, and of pointing out to Will that he was probably baiting Brad a bit. A bit. :-)
-
One would think they'd talk to their shrinks, and one would think they would talk to their lawyers, yet they haven't. I think they actually both have some valid points, but Brad gets the raspberry, IMHO, for how he's handled it. Stef can sometimes get a little too into the drama, and not see the overall issue.
-
Thanks for the review! I didn't know what the Birkenhead Drill was, but now I do. Women and Children first. Thanks for expanding my knowledge!
-
That would seem to be Granger's strategy. LOL!
-
Thanks! I really do try to do a reasonable job or researching things, especially when they touch on real events.

Thanks for posting a review! Propaganda is not a new thing, and it persists in our society today, which is truly stunning, considering our access to information.
