September, 1796
Captain Sir George Granger stood on his quarterdeck in a foul mood. Part of his foul mood was a normal reaction to sailing, to leaving home. He’d had a tearful goodbye with Caroline and his children this morning, and he found that the older the children got, the harder it was to take his leave of them. Another part of his bad mood was undoubtedly caused by the hangover he nursed, a reminder of the pleasant dinner they’d had with Lord and Lady Spencer last night
I actually did a little research on that.
I wanted to jump inside the mind of a Hayes boy, one that was a little twisted. We'll see how well I do, but I don't see him as being much like Brad.

“Poor Man’s Son” by Survivor
Baby if you really love me
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain't no measure of a man
[Pre-chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood
[Chorus]
I'm a poor man’s son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich man’s daughter
Look at what you've done
You went and fell in love
With a poor man’s so
Poor Man's Son is the eleventh story in the CAP Saga. The story takes place in 2000, with Gathan Hayes and Will Schluter as our narrators. Many of the characters in this story were introduced in “Chronicles of an Academic Predator,” “1968,” “The Land Whore,” “Be Rad,” “Man in Motion,” “A Summer Love,” “If It Fits,” “Bloodlines,” “The Box,” and "Millennium."
Too funny!
That's a great question and a great answer. They don't really look a like, they just share some similar features and characteristics, enough to spark Brad's suspicions. Plus I'll bet that being in that family, you learn to look for stuff like that. It's key as to how they don't look all that much alike that no one else, including Jim, picked up on it.
Are you talking about the guy that wanted JP's office? He wasn't Jeff's professor, and JP didn't have him hit, per se, but that was pretty slick.
Or was it Louie, the guy he met that handled Jason's "problem"?
Thanks! He needs some more seniority before he'll move to a bigger ship. He won't get a ship of the line until he's had at least 3 years seniority as a post captain (1798 at the earliest). His next step is more likely to be a bigger frigate.
