    I am wondering if Mark will get around to mentioning any more about the little manse that George is having the architect build for him that he met while touring his property on the isle before we set off on this little odyssey?

    Federer has his old spark back and is right up there with Sampras. Andy was good, but it would have taken perfection to beat Federer today.

    Well that message on the answering machine is certainly an unanswered question. What could it be?

    Will does live in a "gay" world. A world of privilege where he doesn't have to hide who he is or his sexual orientation. It is a very different world than what most young gay people actually experienced during that time. He realizes that and at times has a hard time understanding when those around don't get it. While Will is still figuring it out and is in a slutty stage, he has developed a sexual appetite and there is a danger of his becoming jaded and cynical. Waiting to see how this all plays out is going to be interesting, especially to see how the parental units and his experiences actually influence him. Life happens. The CAP saga will too. (At least I hope so!)

    Chapter 1

    Daddydavek commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 1

    A very succinct and fairly encompassing review of the relevant history. Well done. However, it is not quite as resolved as your piece implies and I think this quote is fairly optimistic: “In the end, the nine justices in black robes agreed that denying gay couples the right to marry was indeed a violation of their constitutional rights and dealt a fatal blow to those opposing same-sex marriage.” The US Supreme Court is many things, but it is the most politicized court in a generation and I hope for a 5-4 decision in affirmation of the 9th's ruling. At worst, Scalia and his cohorts will find some excuse to send the decision back to the 9th for "further review" if they can muster the votes without resolving anything.

    Chapter 12

    Interesting chapter. While we haven't yet "met" Maidstone, it would be just too ironic and potentially explosive if he were the pick to replace Bertie! Navigating the Nore should also prove interesting. All in all, a very provocative chapter! Well done.

    CNET does reviews and ratings and there are a couple of good free ones including AVAST and others. Check out CNET.com

    I think a lot of PC users may be jumping in if the MS Surface is priced right and performs as advertised. Being able to synch your desktop, laptop, tablet and MS phone address books etc would be a boon for those of us that can't quite force ourselves to pay the Apple premium and are not really enamored by Google's Android either. I have not previewed Win8 and am intrigued by your comment about using the mouse and keyboard. Are they less responsive or do they behave oddly that has a bit of a learning curve?

    Andy's third set was shaky. It would be a real morale booster for the Brits if the Scot were to win! Especially with the Olympics getting set to start.

    I seem to remember the article talks about burning a DVD reinstall option.

    Hopefully it will spark further investment and revival in that part of London. I think especially tall buildings are interesting but I wouldn't want to work or live in one. The fact that it is provoking discussion as to it's striking appearance is good. It seems I recall the Gherkin did so when it was built as well.

    Federer up two sets to one in the semi's agains Djokovic. It's been a really fast paced match so far! Federer is up a break in the 4th. Federer wins!

    Ch. 49 is up early! Thanks! JJ is being the diva and giving Will the treatment for being Will. Will is slutty and having no problems so far being that way. Cue problems?

    Chapter 49

    Poor JJ. He is a diva, but it is his gig, and still it's all about Will.

    I saw this article on CNET. It has really piqued my interest! http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57465416-75/windows-8-pro-upgrade-set-for-$39.99-media-center-too/?tag=txt;title

    With CJ, I'd never limit the options to just 3........Maybe 30x3

    Happy Independence Day! And a special prayer of thanksgiving for all of our active duty service men & women, our military retirees and our veterans for giving us and maintaining our freedom. As the DAV slogan proclaims: Freedom isn't Free!

    Ok, you've gone from hot to Blazing HOT!

    Unlike some, I never assume or put much faith in rumors or innuendo. The fact that Mr. Cooper has publicly acknowledged his orientation is news. IMHO everyone has a right to choose to keep their private life private as it is really no one else's business.

    Zombie--you seem to forget that all the Puritans left England and came to America! Bill--It will be interesting to see if the media tries to sensationalizes this and hounds Anderson relentlessly. My observation is that he has always been rather reserved and non-judgmental. I guess it would be too much to ask that he be treated likewise.

    Just read the story on MSNBC. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48046675#.T_HY3JH4IWY

    The poor purser. His station seems to correspond to what we would call middle class and he also seems to have those middle class sensibilites. Being British, I suspect he usually minds his own business. He comes to his captain bearing terrible news about the ship's surgeon and has to describe how the vital crewman was apprehended and then must sit stonefaced as the captain and his Lt. get the giggles like a couple of kids. Can't you just picture it.

    Interesting chapter. But, sad news indeed about Pat.

    Chapter 11

    Daddydavek commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 11

    Well that chapter ended with another pain in the ass episode of having to rescue the ship's surgeon. The return of Calvert is going well as I expected. Now if we can just get the mutiny in the Nore behind them, find out who will replace Bertie and get underway.....

    Happy Birthday to our northern neighbors! You are the best neighbors in the world!
