...you can't steal nothing, so I'll take the shiny!

That house will never be finished....sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy. Avery has shown and explained the facts of life to Lee. And Lee actually seems to be beginning to understand.

Sorry to be so late to the party, but today was hectic. I loved the Michelle surprise and the text from Sasha was funny. Will's parents seem typical and the surprise meeting of Ritchie's aunt was revealing. Somehow I expect Ritch's opinion of his dad and grandparents took another hit which is a downer. As usual, good job....and I want more!

...and back to the tired grandpa!.

It must be a girls camp song. I never heard it in all my years of camping as a scout or as a parent of a scout.....

Addiction, withdrawal...dependence, all displayed in gritty detail. It's not pretty, nor pleasant but it is true. The idea of having to hit bottom before you can start over is crap. Too many die before they realize they passed the bottom. Too many suicide with an overdose because they can't take the pain of going through another withdrawal. Addiction is a mental health problem that is totally out of control in this country. While there are some who get lucky and find their way out of the maze with some help, there are far too many that exist day to day before they too end up a statistic. Addicts are notoriously secretive and try to hide their problems and refuse to discuss them. Sorry, I have too many friends who have lost children, siblings, spouses to addiction. Some are forever heartbroken, ridden with guilt and thinking there must of have been something they should have done better. I don't know the answer, but I do know effective treatment is expensive, hard to get into and no guarantee of success. https://fee.org/articles/san-francisco-sees-more-overdose-deaths-than-covid-deaths-in-2020/

C'est vrai!

The two young cadets will face much in the next two years. The Academy is intense.

Three survivors so far, so I expect a fourth.

Although historical records of dual wielding in war are limited, there are numerous weapon-based martial arts that involve the use of a pair of weapons.
