    Glad to help, although there are better ways to relieve stress.

    I'm doing great, just busy. I still haven't worked this story out, but I'm getting there.

    Fearless? Not sure about that, but I appreciate it. Glad you liked them.

    Thanks! The posting place will be slower, so don't get too excited. I like Wade too. I'm lining him up for a big role in the next story.
  5. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I've got a few more in the works, but they may be a little slow in coming. That's not always a bad thing. A few comments: We don't know who fathered either baby, and we won't know until the next story starts. At least that's the plan. And we will see more of Ryan Grafton.
  6. Sorry I'm late to the thread/party. Happy birthday! You're awesome!
  7. I'll talk to students who are majoring in accounting, but they hate accounting. I ask them why they major in it, and they reply that it's because that's the best major to have to get a job. I point out to them that what good is getting a job if it's a job you hate? Follow your dreams, and don't be afraid of failure. Find a successful businessman, and you'll find a man who's failed at least once. If you don't take the risk, you'll end up stuck in a cubicle for the rest of your life. Ignore all the cautionary comments. There are always reasons NOT to take the chance. That's not to say you shouldn't have a plan, and a thorough plan at that. But once you figure out what you're going to do, go for it. Follow your dream.
  8. LOL. A serenade! I had a chapter I was working on and finished editing. It doesn't impact the parts I'm revising so I went ahead and posted it.
  9. September 4, 2000 Malibu, CA Will School started tomorrow, my first day at Harvard-Westlake. I wasn’t nervous, but I was trying to be prepared. I laid out some clothes (some long baggy shorts and a T-shirt from Scott Slater’s surf shop) and decided that would be good enough. I went to my computer and checked my e-mails again to see if there was something from Tony, but there wasn’t. I’d refused to admit to myself how much his reaction, his rejection hurt me, even thou
  10. Thanks to all of you who have sent me nice e-mails or posts on the forum. I'm doing really well, but I've been hella busy. That's pretty much why I needed to take a break. I'm hoping that my schedule eases up soon and it will allow me some time to actually write.
  11. Well, your pic didn't show up, but your choice is excellent!
  12. I've written all kinds of kink, from e-stim to fisting, but I don't think I can do Mormon. That's just too out there for me.
  13. So what would you rather do: Change the world and live a life like Jobs, then die at 56. Or live the life of a drone until the ripe old age of 100?
  14. Happy Birthday Paya. I love our mind melds.
  15. Happy Birthday big guy!!
  16. That's debatable. Thanks. People like the Hayes would be vulnerable to the bible-thumping fire-breathers like the Reverend White.
  17. I don't have time to look it up right now, but in 1968 at Jeff's funeral, they were in some sort of church. That would be the Hayes' church. Fuck. I had to go and bring up Jeff's death.
  18. Me too. Happy birthday Cammy!
  19. I'm late to the party here, but my good wishes are not diminished as a result. Congrats guys! And welcome to the baby girl!
  20. When I used the term "Brahmin", I wasn't thinking of Boston, but of the social caste. I can see where that may have been misleading. The Schluters were originally German, as I wrote of them in "The Box". They've been in America so long, though, that they're heritage is probably so broad that it may be hard to pin it to one nationality. Until, that is, we get to Stefan, who is half French.
  21. I can't recommend this series highly enough. I first read "Beat to Quarters" when I was 12, and devoured the series after that. It is what drove me to love the era, and was the impetus for the Bridgemont Series.
  22. Brad didn't know what Darius grades were? Did I write that?
  23. I don't know that they let Darius "slide". It's not like you can be a total slouch and get into SCU. Darius, to me, is the ultimate party boy. He's smart, but not brilliant, and he's into having a good time and enjoying life. I think that he, probably more than his brothers, have interpreted what Tim was talking about. He knows there's no great pressures on him; he doesn't have to eat what he kills. So he can just go through life at his own pace.
  24. Oh. That banging. I thought you meant I was dissing the guy.
  25. "All that banging"? Well, there was that post, and then there was... I'll keep looking for all the other banging I've done.
