Life can be cruel. How we react to the occasion molds us into the people we are. While nothing can replace your sister, remember to treasure her memory and all the little things she meant to you. As for as your thoughtless relatives, try to have some compassion. Everyone reacts differently to unexpected death and while they may have been inappropriate, they could be hurting inside and trying to hide it or just wanted to distract themselves. Good luck on your return to work. Hopefully, you will be able to concentrate and the routine of work will be somewhat reassuring for you. My thoughts and prayers remain with you in this time.

Le'Ton has an idea, but will they actually learn anything useful? Still to many things that can go wrong.... More please!

I read the whole chapter with trepidation and it ended horribly, fully justifying my fears. Life sometimes sucks but this was the whole enchilada in one chapter. And no I couldn't bring myself to "like" it. More soon, and hopefully things turn around and get better then.

Happy Birthday! & Many, many more!

JJ wins and lost his coach...ouch! Tiffany decides being mama is her first priority and with a third child on the way, it does seem inevitable. Alex is there but nothing more is revealed, except his disreputable parents showed up for the wedding. I suspect the reception will be more entertaining than the ceremony. More please!

Happy Birthday Sasha! & Many, many more!

Happy Big 4-0 Comsie! & Many, many more!

The crew and passengers both seem uncomfortable and I don't blame them... I hope stealth and the ability to shoot helps. Things could get exciting! More please!

Great job! More please!

TimothyM is probably right that Alex will not have much interest in the day to day upbringing of his infant child. However, I also never expected Alex and JJ to be a forever thing so I do expect there will be some falling out eventually and probably because JJ finds someone more interesting who isn't encumbered by being married to Mary Ellen.... Brad has lead a pretty chaotic life so far and I'm beginning to wonder as he is now about forty if he isn't ready to settle down with someone and Marc seems to be a pretty good choice. I never gave Marc much chance when he was first introduced into the story. His insight into the family and their personalities at an artistic level seems almost prescient and if he can use that ability to maintain Brad's interest, it seems like a win-win situation. My thoughts on Will are still ready for almost anything. While he and Zach are fixated on each other and finishing out highschool together, they are still in highschool and the likelihood that they will maintain a forever relationship as mates is a mountain they still have to climb and conquer. Wade and Matt are another story. Wade has his definite goals in life and sees Matt besides him. Matt sees himself besides Wade, but what is going to do with his life? All in all, Arbour has a lot of ways the story can go and I really wonder where it heads after the Streak is finished?

Christmas at Escorial is so much more fun! Mary Ellen's plan to ditch JJ are now clear. The implementation could be interesting. Marc is not only an artist, but also has some very clear perceptions regarding his lover's family. Another great chapter! More please!

And it appears to about to get interesting.... More please!

Happy Birthday Carlos! & Many, many more!

Happy Birthday! And, I loved the present!

It appears Will is on a streak too. Of course the chapel scene got to me as I remembered the memorial.... Another home run!

Wow, so many possibilities....I'm hooked---again!

The latest chapter is a gem and there wasn't even any sex in it! However, I foresee where that might be soon rectified. I love the character of George Granger and never tire of his adventures......

Loved the chapter and loved the shout out for Love on the rocks & LOTR +5!

Well done! It feels great to have my George fix. And Llewellyn is returning too.

And the plot runs roughshod over the normal bumps in the road! Loved the make-up make-out! More please!

One of the possible plot lines I thought of when reading the chapter posted this morning was that JJ would be a little infatuated with Susannah and use that to make Alex jealous. It's the sort of thing he would do....

Will certainly can be resolute and seems to have much figured out. Bringing Rosa back for the holidays being just one example. I just hope his plans for Kevin don't blow up in his face.... Mark is officially back and has me whining for more!

Genocide is an atrocity that has happened too often in human history, including the last couple of hundred years during so-called civilized times. Wars, insurrections, riots, and prejudice have all been excuses for genocide and I don't think anyone's religion or culture is particularly guilt free. But it is a sin against humanity and sometimes we need to be reminded of that......

Is that another record for Mark?

I saw Mark's reply that Jeremy quoted above and I thought, yeah that could be the case and the line about keeping your enemies closer rings true too. I still don't see JJ and Alex being a forever thing, but it does appear he is going to be an ongoing character as he is marrying Wade's sister. Still haven't heard a word about Wade's littlest brother in ages and wonder what he's been up to too. So much to think about as the Streak winds up and the next part of the saga begins. Brad and his new love interest were barely alluded to in the chapter as well. I wonder what the next book will be called. "The honeymoon is over?"
