Well, the scene with the cop was scary hot. It was hot because of the activity and idea but scary because if he did this to Matt, how many others is there???

Well, when everyone gets to meet and it comes out that JP and Stef slept with Matt; that is going to be an interesting dinner conversation... Matt has already had to kick a relatives ass, maybe he is more like the Hayes then we thought...

I swear after the comments in the last story in the CAP series, you should all know who the father is going to turn out to me... The adventure will be connecting to that person. The emotions that young people are dealing with in regards to sex, love, and fear of everyone knowing is very powerful. It can be very hard to find someone to connect with at that age.

WOW, crappy way to find out that you are adopted; a little strange that the parents never mentioned it before... Matt is all over of the sexual taste meter; Blair from Facts of Life and President Clinton??? That is a weird combination...

Yea, those days of bj or whatever at 3:00 a.m. but walking the halls with a girl during the day... It is so funny to me to see how some of those in a certain segment of society act toward others. Often those that put on the most airs have the fewest reasons to do so...

After all the trauma of the last few chapters of 9/11; I so innocently came to Odyssey seeking a few enjoyable moments of calm... What a freaking mistake that was... We have this lovely chapter will Winkler really admitting and coming to terms with his feelings for Jacobs. We have Jacobs realizing that he did love Winkler. We have Winkler share the story of his past. We have them make love, not just have sex but actually make love. Then you drop a bombshell like that in the last line of the chapter???? Jacobs doesn't seem to be in any hurry to return to New York, he did have a chance to go back to the U.S. with Travers Sr. and did not take the oppertunity. Divorce was very rare back then, and never really done in the lower classes. There were a lot of abandoned spouses but I don't see Jacobs as the type. Does he have seven children, two dogs, and a cat as well???? You are a bad, bad man Mark Arbour... You are building up some really interesting Karma for the next turn of the wheel.

A WIFE, what do you mean a wife???? Here I was getting all misty eyed in a much more happy manner than the last few days and then, a wife... I guess since she is New York, again with the drama in New York, she is far enough away to not cause very many problems. Jacobs doesn't mention previously any desire to run home and he did have a chance to sail back to America; a marriage in name only???

Great job, I can actually put moments to most of the songs at least where they would make sense to me...

I cannot imagine how hard it was for you to write the last few chapters. I can imagine how hard it will be writting the next few with everyone getting over this tragedy. Although Robbie's death and the others were all hard to take, I want to take a moment to say thank you for doing such a superb job of writing that it pulled all of us into your world. I know this wasn't easy on anyone; I truly did have to take the day off today to recover from the last two chapters. That being said, I really felt there was a true cathartic moment reading the last three chapters that I experienced. I don't think I realized how much I had bottled up certain feelings about that day and the time right afterward but reading this story has helped me release some of them and work through some of the others... It takes a special skill for a writer to be able to do what you have done.

JP is a Rock Star... Stef is JP's perfect partner. Cody is gonna be around for a while. Brian isn't going to last, you can just tell...

You know, I think the family should have a chart drawn up and every new person that comes into contact with them should get a copy. It would save a lot of conversations...

Well, secrets are going to be tumbling out of the closet so to speak. I can't wait to see how everyone handles this. I really do think that Stef acted a little more on emotion then he should have. As we all know, just being blood does not make one family in the same way that others in this family have bonded. Wait, is that a shadow on the horizon???

Well, the chickens have certainly come home to roost... I can't wait for dinner at Escorial...

JP and Stef are so much like an old married couple that have been together for years. They just fit some seemlessly into each others lives. I have to admit that it brings a tear of joy to my eyes, they really do belong together...

I swear the second I read the conversation about Robbie sleeping with someone in Claremont, I just knew we were going to get back around to it... Casey is a lucky young man... Stef and the others are right, mothers like that are special and deserve to be recognized for it...

You know, even today with all the advances in modern forencics, the biggest reason people still get caught is because they open their mouth to someone. If you are going to bump someone off, do it yourself, and keep your mouth shut... Confession is not good for the freedom. WOW, Alejandro is just as ruthless as JP and at an even younger age...

It is always amazing to me that a parent blows off a child for whatever reason and then shows back up and just expects to take up where they left off as if nothing ever happened. They seem to think the kids are just objects that they can move around as they see fit; what is really scary is the legal system often views them the same way... I am glad that Casey and Alejandro are getting along. They are an interesting pair. I do wonder about Alejandro's reaction after he had been to see his father, something just wasn't quite right...

You know, no one, not even family has a way of surviving when they cross JP... I can't wait to see what happens with this. It maybe long and drawn out or it maybe over rather quickly, but it will be interesting...

To lose Marcel in the same way that Jeff died would just be to horrible to contemplate. I would not give much for Bruno's future no matter how this turns out... A friend for Alejandro... How exciting...

Stef always really had it easy when dealing with Brad or any of the kids. He always got to play the fun uncle without any of the responsiblities. I have a feeling he is going to have his work cut out for him for a while at least... Brad was always the most difficult child growng up. He was stubborn and wanted to be in control of every situation.

You know, it does amaze me that two gay men such as JP and Stef can end up with so many kids.... This one has his own baggage and history but I think it will work out. I am glad that Max and Marcel will end up back together. I am not sure it wll last forever but right now they are in the right place to be what each other needs...

I am so glad that we have two characters in JP and Stef that are secure enough in their relationship, even though it is just truly starting out, to know that being exclusive isn't who they are or what will keep them together.

Tim had been so serious and his comments so ongoing on this issue I really kept expecting one of the characters to yell out, " My God, I am sure that body that just fell past us falling into obllivion was Tony...".

OMG, I laughed so hard I damn near peed myself. I swear that is the first time in a week that I have really laughed. Thanks for the visual, Tim...

Funeral Blues by W. H. Auden (1907-1973) Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with the juicy bone. Silence the pianos and, with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin. Let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling in the sky the message: “He is dead!” Put crepe bows around the white necks of the public doves. Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my north, my south, my east and west, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song. I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can come to any good.
