I forgot all about the sugar cubes. And of course, the Papier-mâché ones. That was tough with the pillars. You guys expect an awful lot from an 18 year old guy.

December 27, 1796 “Let go!” Granger ordered. Belvidera’s anchor splashed into Porto Ferrajo’s bay, signifying that they had reached the end of their journey. Men swarmed up the rigging to take in the sails, while those ashore eyed this new arrival. “I would appreciate the loan of your gig, Captain,” Nelson said formally. He was clearly irritated that no delegation had arrived to greet him. “It would be my pleasure, sir,” Granger said. “Mr. Clifton, plea

You guys have never spent time around the nouveau riche?
-
See, there's a reason us older guys aren't allowed to date teenagers. They're annoying as hell. ;-)
-
It is realistic and annoying. Glad I got that right. ;-)

I think you said it in an earlier post about Will. Paraphrasing, I don't think that Darius really worries much about the money. If Gathan takes charge and pays, why would Darius argue? I bet if he didn't, Darius would pick up the slack.

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.
