Hey Myr, Will all the old story awards be visible too?

September 9, 1801 HMS Endymion Weymouth, England “I cannot imagine being with anyone else who can satisfy me like you do,” Calvert said lovingly. Granger squeezed Calvert’s deflating dick out of his ass, causing both Granger and Calvert to giggle like schoolgirls. Granger moved his body so he was lying on top of Calvert but to his right side, avoiding his wounded shoulder. “That is because we are not just perfect together physically, we are linked by ou

September 6, 2004 Carruthers & Schluter Palo Alto, CA Brad “I’m going to go check in with Luke,” I told Grace. “After that, I’m heading home.” “I’ll see you tomorrow,” she said pleasantly. Grace had been my assistant for years now, and there was a tight bond between us. There were very few people who weren’t family members whom I could trust completely, but Grace was one of them. I walked over to Luke’s offi

Holy shit! Those are awesome! Can you do one for Calvert? Granger needs cropped hair. And the uniform is wrong.

Why thank you!

September 9, 1801 HMS Endymion Weymouth, England Granger paced the deck of his ship, fighting against the warning signs his body was sending him. He finally succumbed, lest he ignore those messages until things became dire. “You have the ship, Mr. Austen.” Granger strode below, trying to maintain his decorum, until he reached the gun deck, at which point he hurried back to his cabin and into his privy closet, where his body ejected fluids from damn near every

Myr, I love these deep dives. Thanks so much for putting this together for us.

You didn’t think that things would just roll on happily down the road, did you?😈 I think Luke’s about 10-15 years older than Claire, but I’ll have to go back and check the Land Whore to be sure.

September 5, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will After dinner I walked out to the garage with my father and Jake, glad to spend some time alone with them. “I was really impressed with the way you dealt with Claire tonight,” Dad said. “Thank you,” I said cheerfully, basking in his praise. “Why do you say that?” “You were right about Jack,” he said. “I remember how pissed off I was at Robbie, and how it was hard to ge

Thanks everyone. My father went into a nursing home, so I'm grappling with that, and with dealing with my mother.

Thank you so much for keeping this up to date. When Will starts college, this is bound to get a lot longer. 🤣

Sorry I'm posting so slowly. I've had some family issues to grapple with, and that's taken a lot of time and slowed down my writing. Just wanted to give you a head's up.

Fixed. Thank you’

I really enjoyed writing that. Thanks for pointing that out

That made me laugh. There is no way JJ would fly out to California with Kris on an airline. Absolutely. no. way. I love musicals.

September 5, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will “It feels good to be back here,” Travis said. That was such an awesome thing for him to say. My mind briefly derailed as I thought about how impossible it would be for me to date someone who my family didn’t like. We were walking to Grand’s office to hang out with him before dinner, but I stopped and made Travis look at me. “I am so glad to hear you say that,” I said and gav

I agree with you on this. I see no link between the DNA of Italian men and Italy's performance in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. I've done some research on this, and there are a few things to consider: 1. The Italians did have some successes, most notably during the Risorgimento. Italian troops fought well during the Spanish War of Succession. 2. The key flaws in the Italian army were in leadership, which was (especially under Mussolini) determined more by politics than skill; motivation; and capabilities. Mussolini insisted on tackling objectives with fewer troops than the military recommended, and thus quagmires ensued. They were also given substandard equipment (crappier tanks and guns, etc.). In the end, the genetic argument pales when one considers that Italian troops were very successful under good leadership (such as Prince Eugene of Savoy). If Italians were genetically poor fighters, Prince Eugene would not have achieved the successes he did in Italy commanding them.

I’m not sure what Granger risked here. The only problem is if one of the three of the participants disclosed what happened. The risk to any of them is too high to do that.

September 8, 1801 HMS Endymion Weymouth, England Granger sat in his office, dealing with the endless reports that were required of one of the Royal Navy’s captains. He was currently auditing the gunner’s stores, but it was difficult to concentrate. Granger was used to shipboard noises, but he was not used to chattering women. Based on how much they were talking now and how much they’d talked at dinner, Granger concluded that Signoras Bellini and Martello comm

Great music picks! I think the Fleetwood Mac song sets the perfect tone.

He really wanted to stop typing after the word “body.” 😃 Congrats!!🎉

Not until he runs in front of a bus. 😃

Ah, but the last time we saw Ace was at Isidore’s wedding and he had dumped Bianca for a younger version.
