Dana may try to 'out' Tony to his family and friends, but I wonder if those people don't already have Tony figured out.

I think you're seeing a pattern that will be clearer over the next few chapters. :-)I'm not sure that "happily ever after" happens to most couples. People change and evolve so much over the years, it's inevitable that they will sometimes grow apart and have conflicts. But for the most part, there are a number of happily ever after couples that probably will end up just fine in CAP.

I spent a lot of time hanging out at Mizzou in the late 80's, so it's quite possible that we could have unknowingly run into each other. Never went to the Sub Shop much. I spent most of my food time in Columbia at Shakespeares, Booches, or the Heidelburg.

I wonder if Will can handle that ride too. I think he has a hard time divorcing his feelings for Tony from sex because the sex is so good, and that inevitably sucks him in to Tony's twisted world.

Listen to you, planning a Kennedy-esque bullet path. Probably not possible in the 1790s.

You missed Will's big reason for being irritated with Tony about Rick. Tony told Will that when they were together (as in doing something together, like this float trip) he wouldn't fuck around on him. Will's not expecting Tony to be a faithful boyfriend, and he's not promising to do the same. He is expecting to be Tony's center of attention on this trip, which is reasonable, considering Tony invited him and he's being led into a group of friends who aren't his. He was also expecting Tony to fuck around with only him on this trip, another reasonable conclusion based on Tony's promises. I totally agree with you on the slut phase, but I'm not sure Tony will have one of those. It's possible he's having that right now.

That is correct. We first met Jackie in The Land Whore. Cody came along in If It Fits.

CAP and Bridgemont Anachronisms And Nitpicks
Mark Arbour replied to methodwriter85's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Topics
Just because a name wasn't popular doesn't mean it's an anachronism. As Gene said, it could very well have been a family name. -
Things were going well then you met this guy, and he cooled off considerably. Everyone else who's talked about how he's probably grappling with coming out may be right, but there's a chance the chemistry just wasn't there, and he didn't feel it. That's not to say you're not attractive, just not attractive to him. Regardless, it sounds like you've expended enough effort pursuing him while he hasn't shown any real interest (doesn't respond right away, and when he does, it's more or less to placate you). So if you want my opinion, it sounds like he's just not into you. Best thing to do is to ignore him, IMHO. If he is into you, let him make the moves for a change. If not, you need to move on anyway.

From Wiki: A cable length or cable's length is a nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile or 100 fathoms, or sometimes 120 fathoms. The unit is named after the length of a ship's anchor cable in the age of sail. The definition varies: International: 1⁄10 nautical mile, or 185.2 m Imperial (Admiralty): 1⁄10 Admiralty mile, or 608 ft (185.32 m), about 101 fathomsThe traditional British fathom varied from 5½ feet to 7 feet in the Merchant Navy. U.S. customary (US Navy): 120 fathoms (720 feet, 219.456 m)

I'll bet Dana heard about the trip the weekend before, although I'm not sure if she knew Will would be there.
-
"Tony is now on the 911 watch list"...that was funny. If he survives Will, he can probably survive Osama.
-
An apt description.
-
LMAO. You really are too funny.
-
Tony is working his way through things. This can't be easy for him. Then again, he does need to grow a pair.
-
O'Connells is way better than Blueberry Hill, although Blueberry Hill has a great ambiance. Maybe they'll go back there, though. I'll bet Will would like the Delmar Loop.
-
I think that everyone has pelted Will with warnings about how fragile Tony's psyche is that the dude is likely to get off pretty easy with Will. Then again, Will's patience has some limits. SMILE
-
I'm flattered. I hope you like my roller-coaster. ;-)
-
I'm guessing Tony is smarter than that, although I'm not sure what I'm basing that on.
-
I would feel sorry for Dana too, if she weren't such a controlling bitch. I think the theme here is more one of karma.
-
I hope you get back to STL. If you have kids with you, take them to the City Museum or The Magic House.
-
I think the height thing is relative. For Will, who's probably 6' by now, this dude is going to seem short.
-
Shallow? I think they seem pretty typical. We'll see if that gets better.

July 7, 2001 I’d just opened the door to Rick’s truck and was about to climb in when I heard Tony shouting. “Will! Wait up!” “What the fuck?” Rick asked me sotto voce. I shrugged. Tony came running up to the truck, a determined look on his face, with a seriously pissed off Dana trailing after him. “What?” I asked him when he got to me. It was an abrupt question, but I asked it nicely. “This is bullshit,” he said. “I invited you to come out here

Hard to see the food in those plates. Seriously? That's just a bit busy. *ducks*
