  1. Of course Calvert now has a ship and who knows how long George will be delayed. Calvert could be back out to sea before George gets home. And like Westie said, it appears they all will come out fairly rich for the time.

    Revelations

    Another interesting and upsetting chapter. I need a score card to keep it all straight and I haven't made one up yet!
  3. Bronco's at Colt's on Sunday night football. How sweet it is!
  4. Being in the military means dependents and loved ones are uprooted due to re-assignments all the time. They deal with it because that's the way it is. Most people have no clue how hard it is or how often it happens. These people all sacrifice so much and their families do too. Thanks to all our veterans and their understanding families.

    Chapter Ten

    Deciding to make the most of their remaining time together so they can maintain while separated is an example of clear thinking. Something that is needed when facing life altering situations. My comfort food varies with the seasons. A quart of Haagen-Dazs cookie dough chip is my current one!

    Chapter Nine

    Mark knows what it means to be deployed to a war zone. Been there, done that and it sucks. So little time and they just are on their second get together. So sweet and so precious.

    Chapter Eight

    Something is really making Trey needy and I think Daithi and Lisa were on to something. Again, I'm lucky I can immediately go to the next short chapter!

    Chapter Seven

    Oh you tease! I want to hear what Trey has to say. Oh well I get to read the next chapter now!

    Chapter Six

    Very well done. Sometimes we try to over figure things instead of just taking the time to appreciate the ride!

    Chapter Five

    Another short chapter, but it went well. Jackie is a hoot.

    Chapter Four

    Well there went taking his time in getting to know Trey before getting too involved.... I know, I know, they both feel like they've known each other for a while. Of course, they are fairly young, hung and perpetually horny.

    Chapter Three

    These chapters are tantalizing but short! On to the next....

    Chapter Two

    "Was it something I said?" I laughed out loud as the dialogue was so true to life. Of course, I am not sure that he actually gives the blind dates much of a chance as he seems to think of them as more of a chore than an opportunity..... In any event, this chapter has introduced Trey, whom I suspect is the other main character. Good job.

    Chapter One

    Just started reading this one Renee and already love it. Why is it that some people just have to play match-maker? I think everyone has known someone that thinks that is one of their talents or calling in life. On the other hand, having a supportive family is a refreshing change from all the uptight, preachy, throw the "sinner" out stories.
  15. CARDINALS vs. RED SOX will be an exciting series. The BoSox got through to the Tigers, especially their bullpen and I think St. Louis has a much better one. Our young pitchers have been awesome so far, they just have to take it up to the next level! This will be the 4th meeting of the two teams in a World Series and St. Louis leads the series 2-1. October Baseball! World Series Baby!
  16. Stan Musial, the first ballot Hall of Fame honoree, and a Cardinal for his whole career wore #6 and his number was retired by the Cardinals years ago. He died this year and the Cards all have a patch with the number six on the sleeves of their uniforms. The Cardinals just won the National League Championship in six games. I heard someone has forecast the Cardinals will win the World Series in six. It would be awesome if it could work out that we honor Musial (number 6) that way. DDK
  17. CARDS WIN--WORLD SERIES BOUND!
  18. Granger still has no idea that the Bacchante is lost, that Maidstone is dead, that Bertie's letters are in Davey Jones locker or that the officers of the Santa Clarita, or that Jacobs and Winkler have all arrived safely back in London. Instead he is cooling his heels in Paris and got to meet several members of the directorate. including the boorish de La Révellière-Lépeaux whom he tried to charm and when that failed, instead baited him. How aristocratic! Good thing, the other members seem to have decided he will indeed be paroled. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later as M. Talleyrand seems to enjoy getting paid hosting the POW. Nice to see posting seems to be back on schedule.
  19. The members of Congress all take an oath of office to both protect and defend the United States and it's Constitution. Passing a budget is defined as part of their constitutional duty. Their dereliction of duty bordered on treason. Even several members of the Republican Party gave speeches in the House and in the well of the Senate reminding members that there are three branches of government and that to pass a law, it must pass both the House and Senate and be signed into law by the president. I see exactly the point W_L is trying to make and he is right. The current resolution, just kicks the can down the road with no substantive resolution of the underlying problems. The GOP's strict adherence to "no new taxes" interpretation as also preventing them from closing egregious loopholes or passing anything that would enhance revenue, like comprehensive immigration reform is counter-productive. There is plenty of blame to go around but I think the polls showing the American people are tired of the dysfunctional Congress are correct and all members need to be wary of the next round of elections in November 2014.

    Chapter 68

    Well now its official, Granger will be the last to arrive back in London. His Odyssey is still not over, but he did receive assurance he would be paroled at the dinner party. Caroline seems to have not incurred too much wrath from Spencer as evidenced by his gracious early warning about the news. It also looks like she should soon be apprised of George's location through the banking system and Talleryrand's action. A very satisfying chapter! More please!
  21. Yeah, but it's a gay story. While Will was a very early bloomer and big for his age, Ethan may be just the opposite. He may not favor the Danfields at all and take after his mother's side of the family. I see many ways that Mark can go with this. It is fun to speculate and throw out ideas. My idea is that Wade will be on the west coast and perhaps the young half-brother is a lost soul that needs someone and wants a change of scenery. Not so far fetched....

    Chapter 48

    Senator Danfield and his attorney had things sewn up well after the divorce and wasn't a surprise 15 year old half-brother a surprise. A boarding school boy the same age as Will. Hmm. Well done. More please!

    Part 28.
