Some families celebrate half-birthdays in June so the child doesn’t get cheated like that! My family used to have a birthday season with three in April and three in May, plus one (now two) on June 30th. June 30th is my older brother’s wedding anniversary as well as their daughter's and her niece’s birthdays. We used to get together to celebrate them all at the same time – officially it was for my nephew’s birthday, but the rest of us exchanged gifts too. My niece got her own celebration when she was younger – I’d go to SF Pride for a few hours then rush home to drive down to the city of Hollister for her party. ;–)

The cat? ;–)

I’m guessing there will be detailed descriptions of the meals Marcus will be preparing, It’s as if Brian doesn’t think we’re getting enough tantalizing recipes in Our Christmas Cookbook. As I said there, it’s a good thing we can’t gain weight just reading the details on the screen. ;–)

Gee, I wonder what sort of construction project Kennedy might be contemplating that he wants to consult with Tom! It seems like the lodge is not being maintained to the same standard as in the past. That’s a sign that Rudi’s father has lost interest in keeping it.
-
It seems very realistic that Tom would be dealing with a rebellious teenager. It seems very likely that the loss of their mother and the turmoil that followed will have an effect on both Charlie and Katie. And it doesn’t seem like Charlie is very far out of the norm for kids her age. ;–)
-
No. ;–)

A YA version of Clan of the Cave Bear (scrubbed clean of all the sex)? ;–)

Considering that Phil is also cheating on Karen even if she doesn’t know yet, sticking Alistair’s clothing into the oven seems rather petty. Some would remove Alistair’s clothes and find some way to scare the pair out of bed in a panic. A dangerously felonious response would be to call in a report of a hostage situation at the house, so maybe Phil was reacting mildly. ;–)
-
I cannot understand what was going through Alistair’s mind when he insisted on talking to Phil at that gathering. I would have thought he would feel too guilty about sleeping with Karen that he’d have avoided him. Karen’s outrage over Phil’s supposed rudeness towards Alistair seems misplaced as well. Such hubris on the part of a pair cheating on Phil! Were they trying to instigate a reaction in preparation for Karen leaving Phil?

The movie was inspired by a BBC documentary about a man who was facing closure of his family-controlled shoe factory in Northamptonshire.

I toss my darts blindly wherever I think the target might be (plus a few extras just to keep everyone on their toes)! When an author gives me a clue like you did, I narrow my guesses to the most likely person that’s been mentioned. It was unlikely that you’d match Dan up with one of April's barely mentioned or described classmates or a character from another of your stories… ;–)
-
Or you could write a mystery featuring the author of the Puppeteer series! ;–)
-
It’ll go straight to movies like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? ;–)
-
Yeah! When will @aditus begin posting the first story in the seven book Puppeteer series? ;–)
-
We need to prompt you occasionally! ;–)

So now both Karen and Jerry are mad at Phil. They’ll both be even more upset with him if/when they find out about Ben. He should be working now to clean up his messes before he even thinks about starting something with Ben. If he doesn’t, his possibilities with Ben are doomed before anything even starts. Ben is in a much better place with all his friends supporting him and Clive pursuing him. Alex might be an ass, but he’s not around all the time. He still has problems, they’re just very different from Phil’s.
-
How ironically convenient that Phil wants to know more about Ben’s client! Phil just needs to dump Jerry and come clean with Karen. Both of them could cause major problems for Phil if they felt scorned. I wouldn’t have gone to the concert with Clive, but then I’m Risk Averse. Clive disturbs me. He’s too intrusive.

Fasting on Sundays and Wednesdays would only mean I’d eat three times as much on Mondays and Thursdays! ;–)

Why am I imagining an Ellen-esque talk show host? ;–) My older brother might have been cruel enough to come up with something like that – and he was 3½ years older than me so he might have thought up that sort of lie. ;–) I’ll pass on the seafood, you can PM it to someone else… ;–)
-
He slams the oven door while you’re baking a soufflé too! ;–)

Reric, Reric, Reric! Greek culture is not as old as several other great cultures. Wikipedia mentions the eighth century BCE. The first Chinese dynasty emerged around 2100 BCE. Japan’s first Emperor reigned beginning around 660 BCE.
-
Reric, Reric, Reric! Russian, Ukrainian, and (theoretically) Makarovian are all Slavic languages. The Slavic language family is an Indo-European language just like nearly all of the other European languages. The exceptions are Basque, Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian. Basque has no known relatives. Finnish and Estonian are members of the Finnic group of the Uralic family; Hungarian is part of that larger Uralic family which is not Indo-European. Tom of Finland might not have understood what Zsa Zsa Gabor said in her native language, but they were speaking distantly related languages. Indo-European languages have much more in common with each other because they have a common origin.

I guess Alex is upset that Ben inadvertently cock-blocked him all weekend and will cock-block him again for at least one more day of the upcoming weekend too! ;–) Ben would never have planned it that way, but Alex very capable of being that nasty and devious. Phil is playing a dangerous game. He shouldn’t be cheating on Karen at all. She’ll probably react even worse when she finds out he’s more into men. And the worst possible kind of guy he could hook up with is someone who works where he does. Eventually, their odd relationship is going to be noticed and commented on. Phil’s world will come crashing down around him very easily.

Zane? ;–)

They have them here too, but Jay already has his squeaky toys and they’ll do in a pinch. ;–)
