  1. In contrast, Adam went out of his way to emphasize that he didn’t want to be seen as a parental figure to Artie. He definitely didn’t want to be seen as a pseudo father. He’s even reluctant to be regarded as the uncle that he is. He’d much rather be an older brother or friend to Artie. But he’s become more parental than he was initially. ;–)
  2. What Ezra says echoes what Artie was taught as he grew up. Ezra’s message resonates with everything Artie heard when he was younger. Artie was programmed to agree with what Ezra told him. It isn’t surprising that Artie would be bewitched by the mesmerizing things Ezra said.
  3. While I cannot imagine living in the City, it would be even more difficult for me to imagine living in Texas based on my visit to Austin & Lake Travis in 1990 – and I’ve been told that Austin is the least Texan-ish city in that state. I was forced to endure a conservative religious upbringing, but their brand of religious insanity is orders of magnitude worse than my minister father’s Protestant church. Ezra’s private conversation with Artie was scarier than anything my father ever came up with. All of this explains why I am an Agnostic. ;–) I am liking Ezra even less than before! ;–)
  4. It’d be easier if you didn’t have to use a half-rake… ;–)
  5. Thorn is half-Finnish. Your example should be related to not quite managing to raking the entire forest! ;–)
  6. Too late! You can’t take it back now. It’s reparations for suffering from the cliffhangers. ;–)
  7. Why do you make an exception for Wayne’s cliffhangers? ;–)
  8. SMS language is the new slang. The newest way for young people to confuse and confound old people like me. When did I become old? ;–) But OMG was used by a septuagenarian in 1917! RLY YW ;–)
  9. My ‘nephew’ @jryski is around the same age as my nieces and nephews, but our age-gap is wide enough that he could almost be my grandchild!
  10. There, I fixed it! ;–)
  11. I now have official permission! ;–)
  12. Why does he know Mason and Jeremy? ;–)
  13. Did the Mafia Don send Orson to work with Clay for some nefarious reason? The Don is noted for taking in strays (like the orphaned lynx). Is he deviously trying to find creative young chefs for his restaurant? ;–)

    The Tale

    I think I understood the story. But it’s a bit British and I’m not a mathematician. I don’t get online romances, Chelsea supporters, or posting selfies of everything that you’re doing either. ;–)
  15. I’m guessing that unlike TV detectives, real life police detectives don’t do a lot of running and tackling! Does that Alabama police department have a group of dedicated detectives on the force? Can police agencies force an officer to leave because of a physical disability like an on-the-job loss of a leg?
  16. Mafia Dons always need cops they can ‘rely on.’ ;–)
  17. But I am glad that Orson survived, even if his dream of being a police officer seems to have died. Camp Refuge is too small to need a police force and they already have two seasoned officers. Orson is too inexperienced to get a command position…
  18. And you cruelly misled us with the chapter title! ;–)
  19. Yes.
  20. What, we weren’t funny enough for you? ;–)
  21. Eighty years ago, someone my age would have been within a few years of death where it’s likely that I have a decade or two left… ;–)
  22. Spoilsport! ;–)
  23. Orson made you an offer you couldn’t refuse? ;–)
  24. Is that what Orson said, that they made him ‘an offer he couldn’t refuse’? ;–)
