Thanks for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I figured that Wade needed to get laid on this trip. :-)

October 19, 2000 Over the Pacific Ocean Wade The plane hit a spot of turbulence, causing it to leap a bit. Stef looked up from his reports and stared toward the bulkhead, a curious look on his face. Jeff caught his expression and walked up to the cockpit and returned shortly. “We’re moving up another 4,000 feet,” he told Stef. “Smoother skies.” Stef smiled at him. “I should think so. Thank you Jeff.” “No problem, Stef,” he said, and went back to whatever he was readi

There's another issue here as well, and that's that kids can often sense in their parents problems that they may not even know about. Brad's been working some pretty heavy hours now, and that's significantly different than his life prior to Omega. What Will is seeing from his own perspective is probably a much bigger problem for Brad, if he takes the time to stop and realize it. Brad's balance is out of whack. It was only a matter of time before that seriously messed up some of his relationships. He's lucky it hasn't screwed him up with Robbie.

Happy Birthday Mr Arbour!
Mark Arbour replied to Canuk's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Mark's Topics
It's not his fault. My facebook profile was screwed up. That's fixed. Thanks for the kind wishes anyway! -
You demand perfection?
-
Yeah, Will should, but he probably won't, because 14 year olds don't do that. Besides, just because your friend's dad is an asshole, that doesn't make your own father any better.
-
BTW, I thought that was one of my better lines.

If Granger left today, with Kerry and Arthur, I'd say it would possibly be the voyage from hell.

Paternity Music Recs
Mark Arbour replied to methodwriter85's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Mark's Topics
Good choices, even though I hate Bob Dylan. Guy sounds like a mosquito. His voice buzzes. -
I vote for all of them.
-
Damn. I wanted to "like" this post but I ran out of "like this" checks for the day, so I'll have to post it instead. Centex, I owe you a "+".

The e-mails were a new device, but I thought they worked, and I'm glad you did too. If I were Will, and I was going to be honest about that e-mail, I'd have to acknowledge that Brad loved me, but I'd still be convinced he was clueless as to why I was upset. Brad isn't seeing his point of view, and Will knows that he won't really listen or change until Brad does.
-
I hope you feel better.
-
Thanks! JP's e-mail was stilted because that's how JP is. He's one of those guys who becomes more reserved and formal as the situation becomes more stressful.
-
I think the real point here is that there's fault on both sides. Brad's e-mail was more about venting than about repairing a relationship. Will got that, and decided that it wasn't time to deal with him. But that's OK. You're my role-model for Martin (without the abusive violence). ;-)
-
Thanks Mari! Matt would send an e-mail because it would make Wade happy, if for no other reason. He's smart enough to pick his battles. Robbie should be so wise. Scott and Will? I'd be lynched. Will has to be at least 16 for that to happen. ;-)
-
Thanks. You nailed the 14 year old thing. They can be interesting.
-
No CJ twist planned for you. I don't do cliffhangers either. ;-) I think Ryan just needed some time to think things through. Robbie needs some contact with Will to get what he's dealing with. And Darius needs to try and prove he's still the dominant older brother.
-
I think you're right about everything except the time period. Having your kid gone like that can be very focusing. Brad's stubborn as a mule sometimes, but he can learn fast when he gets over that.
-
Hopefully not too much on edge! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
-
Here's what you do: "Like" the story (on the story main page) and set your notices to individual e-mails. It will notify you if anything changes. I try not to edit chapters after they're posted, so you shouldn't get e-mails unless something new is posted.
-
Well, it's hard in a serial story to know exactly where to stop, and this seemed like a good place. I think you're right about Brad. He hasn't figured it out yet. Neither has Robbie.

Brian was an ongoing and persistent threat to the family. Martin is merely a flash in the pan. If he becomes otherwise, a Brianesque solution becomes an option.

October 17, 2000 Oahu, HI Will If surfing weren’t a challenge, it wouldn’t be fun, but damn could it be a challenge. I saw the wave looming above me and knew that I was about to wipe out, and when I wiped out, it was like the ocean was explaining it to me. It was like the ocean was trying to tell me that it wasn’t one to be taunted, that I shouldn’t be fucking around with it. I knew that the Pacific and I were about to have a talk. The wave crashed on top of me, pushing me under

What does the "C" in C James stand for?
Mark Arbour replied to B G's topic in C James Fan Club's CJames Topics
It's actually pretty embarrassing for our friend the goat. It stands for "Cows". He's the black sheep in the goat family.
