Thanks...I did take the weekend off, and actually spent a few days in LA. It was nice. You're right, of course, about the direct flights. I thought about that, and the tags would have shown either CHO as his first final destination (if he'd left them on after that flight by mistake) or LAX on the second flight. But then again, based on the changes in luggage handling over the years, it's plausible.

Hmmm. Can't really answer your questions without revealing the whole deal, but I will mention that Paul is still an uncertain player in the story.

I'm glad I made your Thanksgiving just a bit better.

I'm glad you liked it! I thought that cat line was rather clever. :-)

Suspicious? You should be.

Yes and No. Yes, CHO is the closest airport to Goodwell. But No, that's not where Elizabeth Danfield lives. She's got her compound in DC. -
August 8, 2003 Maui Will “So what’s our plan?” Dad asked me. We’d gotten cleaned up, he and I, and we’d met everyone else by the pool where Darius was playing bartender. He handed me a drink. I ignored my father for a minute. “Dude, this drink is fucking strong.” “Pussy,” Darius said. I raised an eyebrow to challenge him, and he responded by going back to work at the bar, creating God knew what. I drank the strong drink in the meantime. “W

You should ponder that, in the preppy world, strange nicknames are the norm. From "The Preppy Handbook", here's the 12 most popular Prep nicknames for boys are: Skip, Chip, Kip, Trip, Bif, Bunny (only in high society), Bink, Van, Win, Wog, Rocky, Jock -
March, 1800 HMS Valiant Off Ushant The storms that had plagued them since they left Gibraltar appeared to be abating, even though the seas were still rough. Granger looked out at the large waves that rolled toward the English Channel, knowing that once they got there, they’d become smaller but choppier. He decided he’d rather tackle them here, as they were, than in their soon-to-be truncated form. “We are off Ushant?” Daventry asked, as he joined Granger by t

Expect a new chapter between now and Thanksgiving (US).

One who lives in Texas. Those boys ain't right. -
August 8, 2003 In flight, over the Pacific Ocean Brad “So why are we going to Hawaii?” I asked Will. He’d been really tight-lipped about this whole trip, which was unusual, and a little nerve-wracking. “I’ll show you,” he said, surprising me. I figured he’d stall me like he had done for the past several days. “I also will appreciate being enlightened,” Stef said, letting his annoyance show. “It was really ni

Thank you, and you're welcome!
-
Thanks! There's a lot of shit going on; this much is true.
-
Jason, I would agree...that was quite a compliment. Thanks!
-
Hey Maarten! It's been forever since I posted a chapter. You've been miffed at me for that long? No wonder you like JJ. :-)
-
You're right: Harker is a total dweeb school. Holy shit, those are some handsome lads at Sacred Heart. Odds are at least one of them likes dick. :-)
-
Thanks! I love your comments at the end. It's entirely likely that Stef knew someone was buying up the land. Maybe he just let that person/entity do the heavy lifting. Section 8 housing in the Palo Alto Hills? I'm not seeing it.

It is convenient. So clearly Buzz is going to take a walk on the wild side, and his son will hook up with someone, probably Will. You keep on thinking that.

Depression is a bitch; one that can sap the life right out of you. It's nice to be working my way back into writing. Thanks!
-
Thanks! You're right about those 'easy to trust' people. Sometimes it's too good to be true, and sometimes it's just good.
-
Thank you very much. I recognized my plight a bit too late for it to be painless, but I'm doing good now.
-
Things are looking good...finally. Thanks. You're right, still lots of questions. Brad is extreme in pretty much everything he does, so it makes sense (to me) that when he's finally done with his grieving and pulls his head out of his ass, he'd do it pretty abruptly.

For someone Buzz's age, that's rather unique.
