I hate to see the current book is ending. I am not looking forward to the downward slide of Travis and the impact that has on Will and the family. This "Kendo" sounds like a piece of excrement... Too bad that life really sucks so much of the time.

Clay was in a drought and it's over...at least for now.

At least Josh got to be awake for the escape....the recovery will probably be as painful or worse than from the car wreck. Being the host of a Marvel type character, albeit surreptitiously, certainly has its cost.

A tangled web with the elegant appearing crone mucking it up and perhaps in cahoots with the kidnappers...

My family does Turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had a goose for one Christmas but it did not go over as well. For Easter we usually have ham.

I sincerely hope the FBI is able to use the info to find the connections to the five who were not implicated in the data on the thumb drive. Perhaps Fellowes will try to get the incriminating info on Big to someone else and that will be intercepted by the authorities. Somehow, I can't imagine it will all go away with the prosecution of Fellowes and the people Petrovic implicated. Loved the fact everyone is impressed with Will's Hawaiian estate despite the beginning of construction of the Villas! It does seem the main house does need an office/library where family meetings could be held in private.

I've been reading Mark's stories for years, both here on GA and before that on his Yahoo group which has long since folded and they have given me countless hours of reading enjoyment over the approximately 20 years I've been reading his output which I continue to find: AMAZING!

Perhaps you could "pin" it to your fan club page

“As I explained to Sir Francis, Caroline and Her Royal Highness Princess Amelia are not fond of each other, and begging your pardon, both of them can be petulant.” The Queen laughed. “I appreciate your candor, and even more I will acknowledge that you are right. Surely Sir Francis can handle them?” “You know that Sir Francis is my best friend and that I am always impressed by his accomplishments, ma’am,” Granger said. “But he will not only have to deal with Caroline and Amelia, he will have to deal with the servants in my house, and coordinate the event such that no one finds out about it.” George made his case succinctly and diplomatically and of course the queen was convinced! And yes, as others have noted, George would not enjoy being an ambassador.

I like the way the group sussed out Petrovic's deceptions. The idea that they were being set up as fall guys seems more than plausible. The idea that there may actually still be a trust is not comforting either... I still think they will have to get some of their more shady friends involved to clean up the mess. Will they reconvene after lunch, or will there be another time jump to Maui (which I always look forward to!) As usual, More Please!

It seems Steve knows it is November despite labeling as "Oct. 2-Oct. 8".

This is a very British story and if that is not your cuppa, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you enjoy a dry sense of humor with some Britishisms thrown in, this is one to enjoy. The brothers could not be more different and yet are alike. Gray (Graham) is the poet, somewhat shy and uncomfortable in groups. Vince is a lawyer and a widow with a legalistic and business like manner. Incredibly he finds himself with a boyfriend with a past. Gray also acquires a boyfriend. The writing and the characters are what carry the story. I found it well worth the time and got several chuckles along the way.

I'm disappointed if Will ends the semester with less than a 4.0 gpa. I'm suspecting he gave himself some wiggle room. Finn is a bit small minded and acting a total asswipe. Jake and Brad have some homework with the flash drive and some ropes. More please!

Well the varied cast got through Christmas with no major problems, but George has ongoing concerns about several situations that could go sideways. Davina is a snake that I've never liked.

Will has Preston sorted, and touched base with Marie and JP. Brad's meeting with the mobster hopefully will provide some useful information. More please!

Looking forward to seeing all the kiddies on Halloween. I live in a large subdivision for the past 50 years which has turned over several times so there are always lots of young families with kids. I think there were close to 50 last year. My grandson is now in second grade and they come to my house to go trick or treating.

The NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study would be a good choice for Jeremy. Jack's memorial was interesting but not to my personal taste, but they live in a very different world. Brad always wants to be in control and people wonder where Will gets it. Bringing Stef into the discussion worked out well. As always, more please!

Drought seems to be a bigger concern for North America. Here are links to the U.S. and Canadian drought monitor sites!

In the work/life balance, what takes precedence is telling.

I think Gray's growth has been the most pronounced and well documented in a cast where everyone has grown and adapted. Life is a series of adjustments and how well we choose to make them is key to success.

Jack's mother may explain why Jack wanted an open relationship. I'm sure Claire is much better off with Jack's mother completely out of her life. Casey came through and got some commitments for counseling. Will also got John's band to come for John to work out some of his frustration. Marie may also be able to work out some of hers as well.... Great job, but as usual, I eagerly await more...

I prefer peach cobbler!

The best news is that both boys are in counseling and moving on with their lives and not dwelling on the past.

No waiting for me to go to the bonus...
