That first few months at college can be a game changer. We'll have to fit Tony's evolution in eventually. ;-) Brothers fight. Will's growing up, and I'm not sure Darius is any happier about it than Brad and Robbie.

Thanks Mike. It's a petty thing, so I appreciate you stepping in to make things better. Maddy? Who's Maddy? Oh yeah. Her. We'll see her in about 14 years when a biker knocks her up. :-)

October 21, 2000 Santa Cruz, CA Will It had been a great day. I’d been reunited with my family, I’d started to repair my relationship with Dad and Pop, and we’d had a great dinner, where no one fought at all. Yet here I was, laying in bed wide awake at 1am, and I felt so much anxiety that my stomach hurt. I doubled over, clutching it, wondering if I’d eaten something bad, until the warning signs finally convinced me to go to the bathroom. I got there just in time to puke my guts

It did. Here's a link to some information on the mutinies:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spithead_and_Nore_mutinies

I think it's interesting that the word "mutiny" is usually bandied about to reference the Bounty or the Hermione, both much more tragic issues. Spithead was basically a labor strike, and a rather civilized one at that. The Nore was an entirely different affair. Here's some good background information on it.

April 14, 1797 It took them a full two hours to sign the men in and get their dunnage together. Granger looked at the men and smiled. They were marvelously happy, having spent a month on land in a sheltered environment, where they could enjoy good food, lots of drink, and female company. But they also seemed excited about the challenge ahead, and they seemed glad to be returning to their natural habitat: the sea. There was a misconception that most sailors longed t

Thanks. I've been pretty busy, but it's kind of like a funnel, so most of the chapters you see now were drafted a bit ago and have been in editing, etc. The problem is that I've been so busy that the funnel is almost empty! I've got some work to do when real life calms down!
-
It would seem. But then, if they're already aboard another ship and signed on there, and the way they were signed on to Bacchante was factored it, it may confuse things enough to cause Granger to lose at least a good portion of his men.
-
I'm glad you like it so far. Bit of a slower paced start than some, but I promise I'll make up for it. :-)
-
I think Granger probably felt like you did about the Abbey, but no time to linger.

Happy Birthday Mr Arbour!

Thanks!!! -
If your ears are virgins, that's the only thing.
-
Holding onto men usually isn't a problem for Granger.
-
Assume that's not the only issue.

Well, the election is almost upon us. I think Wade needs to go home to be with his father, don't you? You'll have to just hang in there, knowing that eventually I'll solve that mystery.
-
Kudos for a great callback. Hadn't thought of him in a while. I don't think he's quite that bad, but I see what you mean.
-
I'm glad you liked it. Dialog can be really fun to write.
-
Or maybe there's another link?
-
Yeah. I've known those people too. :-(

October 20, 2000 Santa Cruz, CA Wade “You’re probably tired,” I told Will as we walked along the beach. It was late afternoon, and he’d finished dealing with Brad, Robbie, and Stef, and had asked me to go for a walk with him. “I could say the same thing about you,” he said, referring to my night with Hot Jeff, and making me blush. “Dude, you fucked your cab driver, a stranger,” I said, tossing it back at him. “What the fuck?” “I know,” he said, and hung his hea

Thanks Kye. I think that whether Robbie ends up on on guild trip will largely depend on how Will handles things.
-
Is it vain to cry when you read your own chapters? I liked this one, but I think I liked 36 better. Not sure.
-
I'm so glad you liked it. People are fallible. I find that in stories, it makes me feel good to forgive them.
-
LOL. I'm glad you could visualize yourself in that conversation.

Thanks Kevin, and you're welcome.
