Good-byes are always hard when you know it might be for the last time....
A poignant chapter written with sensitivity and compassion. You made your readers feel like they were walking in the 'rents shoes!
Brad wanting to go and meet the lawyer and get the rings without explaining what he was about makes perfect sense. Hopefully, the rings will bring a certain sense of closure and finality to the whole nightmare that was 9.11. You never get over a loss. With luck, you get past it. And hopefully this is where it is going for Brad.
Actually, it's not.
That is a picture of Busch Stadium which was opened on April 4, 2006. Ground was broken for this new stadium in 2004. It replaced the prior Busch Stadium which was just to the North of this one and that one was opened in 1966.
Here's a picture of the old one with the new one to the left as it was still under construction. Ballpark village occupies part of the site where the old Busch was.
“And once again, I’m surrounded by all these gay men who are damn near still virgins,” Will said, making us all laugh again.
The above line had me laughing out loud! The whole dinner conversation was well done.
Zach's conversation with Brad also said a lot about Zach which makes me like him even more.
Getting Robbie's rings back was hard, but it also brings a sense of finality to a very surreal death and may finally end up being a real help for Brad.
Chapter 17 seemed to show some resolution to the major relationship problems plaguing the family and now I expect the action to turn to JP's planned European trip with the boys where I expect the unexpected....
As a dad, I so feel for this poor man as he has the wisdom to understand the pain and heartache for his son will be worse long before it might get better....
Well that was an interesting turn of events. Not sure that Ryan and our hero need to get involved with another super being as that could really prove catastrophic......
Zombie where did you get that he was 90 or 110. He's a young 83 year old! And it seems he got off the hook for his tax bill with only about 10 million pounds instead of 1.2 billion!
So all your angst about the future of F1 was for naught.
I think a 'cover' boyfriend is a great opportunity for Mark to introduce a new recurring character with some real personality and perhaps a bit flamboyant! Perhaps someone that Stef introduces Will to? (Just wishing!)
Wow! The flashback had a major impact. Well done!
As far as Will and Zach go, the road map looks a little more complicated with every scenario they think about......
I couldn't disagree more. Right now football is everything to Zach. He has some talent and plenty of ambition and is still young. There have been thousands of young men who have successfully hidden their preferences while pursuing careers. Hollywood was replete with them up until a short while ago and I suspect there were and are more in sports than we will ever know! A person's sexuality can be a private affair and some people even prefer it that way.
I wonder if George will have to have the minister thrown over board? Somehow I see that as a bigger problem than the Scottish peer or his pregnant bride.
His approach to Nelson will have to be as a friend and I think George can pull that off.
Somehow, I think the time line of this chapter is more important. The joint English-Russian invasion of Holland is underway in the war against France. By September 9 it is quite possible word has reached London of some of the major exploits....
Wiki has a 1799 timeline that is quite interesting at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1799
In the latest chapter I am more intrigued by the level of involvement that Brad reveals with Wade and how that has influenced him. Fending off Cody, Slater and Mendoza, that really is a change from his past habits and I think says a lot. You could say he's still caught in a very real state of flux......
