Just catching up on your story and chapter 9 was a gem. I surprised that Russ's dad tracked them down and was such a prig about it all, but at least he didn't go completely nuts.
The twin pose to get their way was described perfectly! Well done.
On to ch. 10.
Philly has hosted eight major party conventions since 1832 and is second only to Chicago for the most. Of course, Philadelphia also hosted the most important convention when they drafted the constitution.
Here's an article I came across. http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2015/02/is-philly-convention-good-news-for-the-democrats-chances-in-2016/
Here's a link to what gasoline or petrol costs are by country around the world based on dollars per liter. It was updated on 09 February 2015.
Despite the North Sea Oil, it appears that the UK and the Scandinavian countries pay about the most.

It sounds like more than I could handle. Boston has so much going for it, but during this brutal winter, I think anyplace south sounds so much more appealing. When I visit my relatives in Florida they always mention the snowbirds from up north and I can certainly understand why anyone who can spend a month in Florida during the winter does!
I think the realization that Frank is really dead and gone, is far more than just a changed face. It is his realization that Frank is dead as far as his kids are concerned too. Sort of the outward manifestation of the inward realization....
Loved the shower scene! But then I do love most shower scenes except the one in Psycho.
The goggles sound like a real pain and I doubt I could sleep with them without a pill. On to 17...
I was unimpressed myself, but then again the prologue to the first book was more than a bit vague too. Hopefully, as they get into the story they can highlight the interesting world Jordan created without the endless repetitive drivel that TM referred to. When I read the books, I used to skim through the uninteresting parts, especially the parts where they went on and on covering the same old stuff with the Sisters etc.
The Verge reports a pilot from the prologue of the first book of the Wheel of Time was aired last night on FX.

The pilot is embedded in the story and it contains all the commercials that aired with it. The pilot is also available on YouTube with the commercials too and the link directly to it is here:

Bart was challenge to write as I am not a scientist and getting it right took some work on my part. I am glad that you like it and I do foresee Bart playing a role in the next book down the road. Thanks for reading and commenting. DDK
It was a bit of a struggle for a while but I got back on track with my outline and I think it worked out pretty much the way I envisioned. Thanks for reading and your support!
I think that most professional athletes are very good compartmentalizing. With the rigorous training schedules and the physical demands of such a high intensity sport occupation, an extreme focus based on compartmentalizing is a necessity. But I think you have highlighted an important part of JJ's personality!
The fact that JJ bottomed for Alex and didn't just like it, but was almost overwhelmed with passion by it was a real bonus for both of them. Hmmm! He just may make this work longer than I expected.
More please!
Chapter 32
Full Circle
As abstracted from the personal logs of Abel Silversmith-Klein III:
My birthday had come and gone while we were mentoring Bart through the emergence of his powers and it was already almost the end of June 2734. We were on our way back to Earth and scheduled to be there for only a short time, to deliver some cargo and take on another passenger who was a family member.
