I love though that Anderson Cooper is so down to Earth and believes in earning your own money. He's gone in the record as saying he won't leave an inheritance for his son because he believes in making your own money. Having seen the way his family burned through their fortune over several generations, it's great that he wants to instill in his son the value of hard work.

I love that Private Tim basically sees Will as being some psychotic rich boy like Nate on Euphoria.

Man, it would have been great if you had the means to buy a house in the Obama era. My estranged dad bought a 2-bedroom little house in the Gulfport, Florida area for 48k in 2012, and when we did his estate in 2023 it went for 285k with no updates or anything. I still have fantasies about moving to some cheap house in the MidWest, like Iowa or Nebraska or something. (Not Montana or North Dakota, though, because it seems like those areas got taken over by rich people so real estate is crazy expensive there now.) I would have said Detroit, but apparently those days of very cheap houses in abandoned neighborhoods are over now.

Chapter 40 -When Travis recounts his trick that went very, very badly. "Save A Prayer" by Duran Duran -When Travis and Will see the stalker ratchet it up. "Creep" by Radiohead

....you had a "Zach" boyfriend experience, didn't you? Just like I'm positive Private Tim had a "Tony."

I'm pretty sure there was a relatively "recent" story chapter in one of the more recent books where Will admitted he doesn't know how to crack an egg.

In all honestly, because the Zach fancast is Liam Hemsworth. *shrugs* Also, I kind of just had a thing for "straight-seeming football jock strikes up a secret gay relationship" plots due to reading Nifty Archive stories starting around the age of 13 WHILE we were heavy into the nascent Abercrombie and Fitch era. LMAO

I am training to be a paralegal. Currently we're learning about the "at will" employment doctrine in Pennsylvania, and the "public policy" exception to at-will employment when it comes to wrongful termination lawsuits. Essentially, if there's no contract or a statute protecting you, you're screwed. You're really, really screwed. I just read about a case called Weaver v. Harpster (2009) where a woman who was sexually harassed was dismissed from her job. The court eventually ruled that her case did not trigger "public policy" because her place of employment had only 3 or less employees and the statutes governing sexual harassment (within the larger Pennsylvania Human Relations Act) can only apply to a business with at least 4 employees. THAT blew my mind.

I really don't think JJ has ever really delt with the issues of having a mom who essentially turned a blind eye to what was going on with him and his coach because she was too busy with her own mental breakdown. No, Private Tim. Will is Love. Will is God. I mean, Good. Will wants the best for all as He is the Divine ruler of all that is Righteous and God, I mean Good.

Meanwhile I'm begging Mark to let JJ cut loose a little now that he's 18. Maybe get a little too tipsy on wine or something.

Good point. Real estate is high tide now. 2009, yes.

While we're at it, have Will start investing in real estate in the Austin, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona areas.

I think the point of contention is that they didn't get a fair trial in 1996 because the defense couldn't bring up the sexual abuse claims like they did in the 1993 trial, which was a hung jury.

This has nothing to do with CAP but I've been curious to see what your opinion is on the Menendez case as someone who is a defense attorney in the Los Angeles region. It's been really interesting to see the rise of the Menendez Brothers fandom in the past couple of years dedicated to freeing the boys. (Well, men now, really.) Do you think they'll get released? Anyway, I've been thinking about the case a lot this year because of the Netflix series starring Cooper Koch and Nicolas Alexander Chavez. To bring this back to CAP, I think Cooper Koch would make a solid Wade Danfield fancast. Can't think of a character for Nicholas Alexander Chavez though. I could maybe see Tony, although I think NAC is almost too charismatic and funny to give off Tony vibes. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DA3nW8oOBNA/?igsh=MWZuYzA3dnpnb2loNQ==

I always figured that's because Mark isn't interested in skiing, therefore the characters don't do it, either. He does seem interested in horse riding and sailing, so we do see the characters do that.
