George likes to climb in bed, period. ;-)

Everybody wants George. He's like the Brad Pitt of the RN.

I think not having the brand makes him more interesting.

Well aren't you just on your game today. I think back to the study of group dynamics, where there are task-oriented people, who focus on getting things done, and group-oriented people, who focus on making sure the group functions together harmoniously. I see Brad as belonging to the former, the kind of guy who will set a goal and knock down or go around whatever walls he runs into to get it. Robbie and Jeanine are more group-oriented people, focusing on keeping everyone on board. To analogize to the Bridgemont series, Brad's like Granger, directing where the ship goes, while Robbie's like Roberts, making sure everyone is happily rowing in that direction. If a Tonto personality evolves in this group, I don't see it coming from JP, I see it coming from his partner.

Regarding the first paragraph: Thanks! Regarding the rest of your post: Astute observations.

December, 1796 Granger knocked gently then entered Chartley’s cabin. Chartley was on his back, as he had been, snoring softly as he slept. In the time since the battle, Chartley had made incredible progress. His wound was now stitched up and bandaged, and he had regained a lot of his strength. Granger stood there, watching him, taking in his magnificent form. Chartley stretched and moved a bit as he slept, and that caused the blanket to fall off of him, exposing his entire b

@ Tonto.

Robbie is the emotional foil for the stoic others to scorn, even though they love him.

I'm hoping that Will can recover from this without that...although having him turn all slutty could make for some fun. (Insert evil icon)

My experience is that athletes usually aren't in fraternities, because the teams themselves become their fraternities, and because fraternities require a lot of time and devotion (during the first few years). It's tough to balance all those challenges: Getting drunk, getting high, getting laid, playing sports, and joining a fraternity. Oh, and doing the schoolwork.

Vancouver fans, it's hard to be upset with a team that has a player as hot as this (Tyler Seguin) :

Robbie may be annoying, but there's some validity to his neuroses on this. Think about it...none of this would have happened if it weren't for Neil.

So far...one massive implosion.

I'll chime in here regarding Kristin and Gathan, since I obviously didn't create that scene very well. What I had visualized was people standing around in the middle of a drama. There's not much they can do but wait. Eventually, their thoughts turn back to each other. It wasn't meant to imply a lack of concern.

Yeah, it's always tempting to want the hot guy to turn out to be good instead of evil. ;-) You would like those calm backwaters better than Paris.

Thanks for the review. I think we all have crisis modes we go into. For Stef, you're right, he went into his ultra-efficient business mode.

You ever have a friend or relative who is a hypochondriac? Every time they cough, it's pneumonia. Every time they stub their toe, it's like they broke their leg? Robbie can be whiny and annoying, and like those other people, it makes them take him less seriously. I don't think any of them consider him to be a lesser member of the family. Add to that the fact that if you're in the middle of a crisis, the last thing you need is someone in hysterics.

July 23, 2000 Pontoise, France Will “I have to go,” he said suddenly. “Now?” I asked. “Can you help me wipe my body off first?” There was cum plastered all over my torso. He grabbed a towel and rubbed it over my body briskly. There was a loud knock on the door, followed by a loud voice that sounded like that Jerry Kohl guy. “I will be back for more,” he said, and then left me there, tied up naked on the bed. He opened the door only a little bit, as if to hide m

I haven't really clarified net worths of the 2nd generation much, but I visualize Jack and Claire as being very very wealthy. Both come from ultra-wealthy families (remember Jack's family made their money in grocery stores. I was thinking of the old Lucky, Stater Brothers, or Alpha Beta chains when I wrote that). I simply don't think that relative wealth is all that significant for them. What would Claire want, but can't afford?

I agree with you.

I think your time estimate is pretty spot-on. True, although if you think someone is maliciously persecuting you, you can ask a mod to check it out. I've had that happen a few times. I don't know why. I'm such a pleasant, likeable guy.

It's appropriate to note the publication date, in this case, 1965. You know, back in your high school days. *ducks* Incidentally, Leslie Gore came out of the closet and announced that she was a lesbian in 2005.

As a guy who takes the stuff for ADD, you'd think I'd put it more front and center, but there's a reason for that. First of all, I didn't get into Darius' skull enough to see him using it, and I don't see it as something he'd be popping in the summer. Gathan's so hyperfocused already it's unlikely he needs it. As for Will and John, I think they're a bit young to be popping Addys. I'm not seeing it as a middle school thing in 2000, but I could be wrong on that. I think that should hit those guys sometime Junior/Senior year of high school, but that's just my initial read on it. As with all CAP story issues, that's subject to change.

HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thanks for delineating that. I should have posted that sooner.
