Thanks for the early release and may we expect another one soon? Another good job and I hope anyone who hasn't read Love on the Rocks and the sequel by Marcus McNally will go to CRVBOY.ORG and read his story set down under.
The travel guide you provided has me wanting even more to visit the land of Oz and it was nice to vicariously do it through CJ and Owen. The scene with the two Brits was priceless and was between four testosterone filled youths in their teens to early twenties. I found it funny and I thought CJ 'handled' it well. The scene in the bar was very descriptive and fun. That CJ realized he needed to quit drinking before he lost control again showed he is growing and learned his prior lesson well. Good job and props to your editors too!
I recommend going to the "stories" tab at the top left of the page and then looking at the left column and selecting "favorites".
I personally recommend:
Circumnavigation
By C. James
Anything by Mark Arbour

The stories by Andrew Q. Gordon

An interesting beginning to CJ' s solo foray down under. The gun conversation seemed inevitable as Owen reflected what many of his countrymen think.
As aside, I was glad to see from your reply to a prior comment that you were OK and cleaning up debris.
CJ is back in D.C. and giving Eli a nice send off in a surprise ending to the chapter with some other surprises. I'm wondering if Bret' s residuals from his accident played some small part in his decision to leave active duty along with being a dad and starting to more actively manage his wealth?
Another chapter leaving me wanting more! Good job Carlos!
Others have mentioned it and it's true that your stories deal with men over thirty which is refreshing given the stereotype that gays are all about youth! On top of that, you tell a compelling story that has your readers invested in your characters and what happens to them. Well done and thanks for sharing!
An inspirational article in The Washington Post today:

It's truly amazing how selfless and honorable people can be and it serves to illuminate the crassness of the reality show mentality of today.
Thanks again and I have a busy day planned. The wife's recovery from her left total knee replacement hit a bump in the road over the weekend as she experienced significant swelling and pain, but at the doctor's office yesterday he said it was nothing to worry about and changed her med's a bit. Hopefully, she will be more mobile on her own for a bit today as I have to do a quick run to my 93 year old mom's and do her meds for the week.
Thanks to our cute French Clochette!
Thanks penguin and the Cards have to get their act together if they are going to make even the wild card this year!
Drew did you steal this from a 13 year old Dylan! I actually expected pie from you!
Still about an hour and a quarter to go but I have to say it looks like I will be OD'ing on cake!
Thanks everyone! You made this almost septuagenarian feel appreciated!
