In the sixties it was don't trust anyone over 30 and then we all turned 30...... The good news is that before you know it, another milestone rolls by and pretty soon you are so busy with life that you don't have time to bitch. Of course, then the kids grow up and you discover you somehow really did get old...

I too am trying to remain patient, but I'm pretty sure based on past experience that it will be worth it!

Thanks for a wonderful story with a happy ending! Hopefully, there is another book percolating and I look forward to it!

I was on the edge of my seat for the entire chapter.

Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf is a classic! You nailed that one!

Interesting to see Matt showing some maturity in the latest chapter, even to the extent of understanding Wade, perhaps better than Wade himself. His insightful hint about dealing with JJ was priceless and I about laughed out loud just picturing him saying it and then picturing Wade's reaction. The ending of the chapter with Robbie's birth mother was pitiful. Some people like Mark said, never change. At least Matt and Wade dished it right back to her.

I was not surprised to see that Brenda was just as hateful as ever. However, I was glad to see Matt and Wade dish it right back to her! More please!

I recorded the movie from HBO onto my VCR and I still have the tape.... Matthew Broderick was the kid... However I think the Ferris Bueller role is the one more people remember.

So Daglon's are mostly human, at least 85%? More please!

Congrats and keep working on those stories!

Life is like a roller coaster, some highs, some lows and some gut wrenching turns......

If you are really interested, then go for it. Just be prepared to take a lot of criticism, much of it subjective.

I thought that video was sensational and it really did break new ground cinematically!

JC, I think you are a bit hard with your comparison, but I too am longing for my Granger fix!

That was hot! And perhaps someone isn't quite so 'lost' as before.....

In defense of adverbs here are a couple of interesting pieces: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/madeleine-crum/in-defense-of-adverbs_b_4860325.html http://www.benjaminrose.com/post/in-defense-of-adverbs/

Happy Birthday! & Many, many more!

Happy Birthday Rob!

Nicely done. I still wonder just where Matt and Wade will be in about three years and whether it will be together. I guess I will just have to wait and see what Mr. Arbour decides. In the meantime---more please!

MMike1969's may have stated it a little forcibly, but I also almost had to gag when Matt spewed that responsibility line which was crap coming from him. In his defense, it can be claimed that he did stay pretty much inside the boundaries he agreed to with Wade up until 9.11. After that, his judgment was crap and 9.11 was certainly a factor in that for him as well as for the rest of the crew who pretty much had trouble holding it together..... It is only now, in the story that we see them starting to put some perspective on things and just maybe Matt's responsibility line was his recognition of what he needed to do and/ or become as a man. As usual, Arbour has painted us a character with flaws, passions and aspirations that each of us cannot help but be somewhat entranced by their actions....

Happy Birthday Myr!

A good start. More please.

This story does seem to be all about Brad and Matt and so far, our esteemed essayist is doing an admirable job of staying on track. I just hope that his real world obligations are headed for a slack period so he can get back to writing as I want more!

After reading Tim's review, I can only say WOW and I second everything he said!

It's still the 15th in my section of the planet, so I am wishing you an almost late happy birthday. I hope it was marvelous!
