Buying Mont Blanc pens on Amazon or E-bay (where you have to watch out for fakes) isn't as stimulating as buying them on the spot. It's part of the hedonism that Las Vegas lives on.

Well, Gathan is an adult. Or maybe we'll hear more about this. ;-)
-
And Brad's going to tell him this? Brad? ROFLMAO.

Happy Birthday! PS: Rush, you're losing it. Only one "d" in Adam.

That's because the author has a collection of them. ;-)

August 6, 2000 Colorado Gathan “Hey,” Matt said as he answered his phone with a total lack of enthusiasm. “Hey Matt, it’s Gathan.” “Yeah, that whole caller-ID thing is pretty awesome,” he said, making fun of me. “Yeah, well I need your advice on something.” “What?” he asked. “I picked up one of your friends here on the highway in the middle of the country. Found this guy sitting on his duffle bag with his head in his hands on the shoulder of

Actually, what I remember hearing the most about in school was the Missions. It seemed like every other year we were doing a unit on the California Missions. We built missions out of f**king toothpicks, and legos, etc. We wrote report after report: Pick a mission and tell us about it. I invariably did San Juan Capistrano.

SCU is not a Catholic Brigham Young. None of my friends who went there were religious zealots, or religious at all, for that matter. Enlightening Australians is one of my favorite things to do. Oh, you meant "enlightening" in the standard context? "Happy Frat Boy" isn't a term I'm familiar with, but a frat boy is a guy who's in a fraternity. The stereotypical frat boy would be your "boy next door" guy who lives in a house with a bunch of other "boy next door" guys and parties like a rock star. It's a gay fantasy, but most times it's just that: a fantasy. My favorite frat story is John Walsh's Fraternity Memoirs.

Stanford starts later, being on quarters, so be patient.

No kidding. I used to think about that every time I went over I-80 to Reno, or HWY 50 to Tahoe. If it were me, I'd rather brave the waves in a clipper ship, although my ancestors did the wagon thing.
-
I pondered that this summer as I drove some of those routes, and the arduous walking didn't daunt me nearly as much as two other things I don't like: heat, and snakes.

You just don't like Gathan since he stopped f**king guys. ;-)
-
Matt and Wade have been busy. You'll get to check in with them soon enough.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I think that I-80 through Nebraska, I-70 through western Kansas and eastern Colorado, and I-80 through the Salt Flats and Nevada are the most boring, but that's just me. Will wasn't bitching about oil or drilling for oil, he was just saying he didn't want to invest in it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I agree with you about college kids...all the undergrad years actually. Don't sell Zach short. I can see him wising up and learning how to "Eddie Haskell" his way into anything.
-
Actually, Stef invested most of his money in Santa Clara County, and possibly San Mateo County. Will's being a good capitalist here. He isn't trying to abolish offshore drilling, he's just saying he doesn't want to invest in it. He's voting with his dollars.

For the lowdown on Cole, you'll have to go back to Bloodlines. He makes his first appearance in Chapter 14.
-
We're not sure how he got home to Nebraska, or how his visit is there. What is important is that he diverted the gang to Denver.
-
I thought about the security guys, and decided that if the three of them were together, they could probably dodge the guards.
-
Poor Granger must be incredibly horny. I really must give him some relief soon.
-
Thanks for such an interesting review. I think the aspect of treason for sleeping with the enemy is a more modern interpretation. In those days, assuming one wasn't shocked at buggery in the first place, Don Stuart would have been seen as an honorable enemy who had surrendered, not an active threat, IMHO.
-
You can't ask for a parley/truce in the middle of the battle, so that wouldn't have worked. Good idea though. I'm glad you liked it!
-
You are so perceptive, along with some of the others here! I think Granger was battling with the issue of falsifying his report, and that weighed on his mind, hence the lack of instant comprehension over the discrepancies
