Happy Birthday! & Many, many more!

To thine own self be true. (It's harder than it sounds based on my nearly 68 years of experience.)

Happy Birthday Carl! & Many, many more!

I got a new computer shortly after Windows 7 came out and it has a dual bios mode where I could start it in either windows XP or windows 7 but it defaults to windows 7. I haven't used the XP option in years as I took to Windows 7 like a duck to water and actually have forgotten how to make the switch to XP. I have read that if you have any hard drives with a copy of windows before Windows 7 that you should disconnect it before downloading and installing Windows 10. I'm wondering if that dual bios option on my system is going to cause the looping problem I've read about? As a result until I see some more information, I think I will be deferring my installation......

A lot of info and events,but I'm not sure I got to know CJ or any of the main characters any better. I can see where CJ didn't want any publicity about his police encounter, but wonder how he feels about the two sleazebags being able to resign and perhaps go to work in another department where they could again engage in their homophobia.... The one I feel most sorry for is Adriano...the funeral was well done.

Losing such a wonderful companion is a terrible loss for which I offer my complete sympathy.

JJ's revenge may be more costly than he anticipates.... Ryan and Jeff have a lot of catching up to do. Zach is afraid, but will he actually tell Will why? More please!

Happy Birthday Carl! & Many, many more!

Circumnavigation is my favorite opus of his works. It held me in thrall for about three years.

The GOP maybe DOA in the next election without someone with the cojones who can bring some sense and sensibility to the table in my humble opinion... I applaud your decision to take a job that gives you more than monetary satisfaction.

Since my grand daughter who is not yet a teenager has suddenly blossomed and looks like she's 16 going on 17, my scariest word is a phone call: "This is the police...."

Will's decision about the bar and the way Josh is running it, was not completely unexpected and does show that Will evaluates things for what is important and not just in dollars and cents. JJ's efforts to organize his life was funny and I still think Carullo is a good influence on him. Ryan's demise or near one, would impact Jeff more than Will in my opinion. Still no plans for the condo's in Brad and Marc's building and my curiosity needs to be satisfied.....

Somehow I think it's about to get exciting.... More soon!

Good reminders and a link to even more tips. Thanks, I bookmarked it.

Tommy has gotten some good news and with the phone call at the end it seems about to get better. A trip to Oz has CJ excited about about going to the beach ...for surfing and I suspect eye candy. Loved it.

Happy Birthday! & Many, many more!

Happy Birthday Mike! & Many, many more!

I can totally see JJ doing a complete make-over of Carullo and it turning out well....well enough to help him land a job. And JJ could well end up taking some 'lessons' from Carullo too. Will is Will and I think I like him more all the time. However, it does sound like he will have to clean house in Chicago. Still wondering what his plans are for the condos in the city. It was a fun chapter to read and engaging from start to finish. Well done and I can't wait for the next installment.

Happy Birthday Sammy! & Many, many more!

I can only echo Rustle and say I'm glad you made the turn into the driveway.

Thanks for my Grange fix!

It is interesting to me at how much English has become the second language of so many in the past 40 years. When I first went overseas, most people from other countries had no English. Now it is the go to language for tourists and business. Unlike Canuck, I find most Americans and Canadians understand 'broken' English spoken by foreigners fairly well. We do have some trouble with some regional American accents however...it is getting better as TV has pretty much evened out some of the more extreme ones. As far as the grammar rodeo; thanks to everyone who takes the time to provide some ready examples of English and its idiosyncrasies. P.S. I still love hearing the queen's English spoken with the proper public school intonation and pronunciation.

That CJ is mistaken for being older is going to be a bit of a problem at least until he is eighteen. The parents handled it well. Good job of writing.

I've lived in the same house for forty years. I still have the first winter coat I bought for my son who turns 36 this December....

In my: (Chapter 4 Review) Starting with Will, it appears that he really plans to make dad's life 'interesting'! Will's love life with Zach appears to be on the downhill slope... JJ realized the sad truth about Alex and he is finished with him However, I suspect he is not finished with ME and that could be something else as he is noted for being dramatic. Alex was never one of my favorite people and while I thought it would never last, I thought JJ would become bored with him instead of it ending this way. It seems there may be whole nest of black widows in this book of the saga.... More please! Reply from Mark Arbour (author) You picked up on something interesting about JJ, and that is that he made his decision about Alex pretty fast, and pretty firmly. The question is whether that's a big act, or whether he can actually do that...turn love off and on. After thinking about Marks reply quoted above, and the title of the book, I fear that a murder-suicide may be in the works.
