  1. As much as we bemoan the hot temps, my heart goes out to the people and firefighters in Colorado dealing with the fires and the terrible destruction.
  2. It was a shocker! Now if Rosol can pull off another win against a strong opponent, it won't be a one-off fluke....

    Moving On

    Just do it! (With my best wishes of course!)
  4. Families are our toughest critics and comparisons between siblings can be awfully unfair. I can relate, but I also must suggest an attitude adjustment. I'd ignore the lonely old man that is making you feel like a failure and just deal with him only as necessary. Then I'd get off my butt and finish my degree and then start really hunting for job in a field of your choice. If it means dad has to go into a senior facility and his house sold to pay for it, so be it. You have a right to a life and you got to let go of all the emotional baggage before you can feel fulfillment. Good luck and get to it. Times a wasting!
  5. The old formula sucked and I'm willing to give anything else a chance!
  6. I think the next couple of chapter stays with the JJ's competition and Will. Just my guess.

    Chapter 47

    The chapter started out being funny but ended way hot!
  8. AC problems never happen when the weather cools off and you don't need it. My condolences and hopefully it won't cost you a body part to get it fixed.
  9. The fleet is not going to the Indies. George is taking his ship on a lone mission on a year long voyage. Well away from the fleet and the waggin' tongues of the bored sailors and officers. Although a year with Calvert will probably not sit too well with Caroline. But can she really complain as George has given her license to carry on with the prince, albeit discreetly while he is away?

    Epilogue

    Thanks Lisa! You've been in my corner the whole way through the story and I really do appreciate your reviews and comments. Especially your catch about the time screw-up! Thanks again!
  11. Chapter 10 is posted and starts to get into the Nore mutiny. Granger addressing his crew is pure George and as usual he cements their loyalty. The news from Lord Spencer about the identity of the person he was assigning was certainly surprising as was the fact that both Pitt and Spencer both seemed to not know yet who would be replacing Bertie now that Teasdale would not be going. That fact is perhaps the best news of the incipient Odyssey so far!

    Chapter 10

    George is getting Calvert back! Now that is a surprise. That should make the upcoming voyage a lot more bearable!

    Epilogue

    While it started as an intrigue, it did turn out to be more of a relationship story. And I will keep practicing! Thanks for your comment and review!
  14. Loved that they finally connected which was beautifully written and described. Looks like Tags and Jimmy might be rethinking their lives a bit too!

    Chapter 1

    Hugs! Gentle hugs! And even more hugs!

    Moving day

    "Why do I think this is not yet over and the remaining chapters will not be champagne and caviar?" Well there are 11 more chapters to go so that is always a good clue. Hopefully I can keep you interested...

    The aftermath

    Well mom's usually know their limits. Taking on a dog is lot of work and mess. Two is double trouble. I speak from experience of owning dogs for the last 40 years and yes we've had more than one several times... Perhaps the shooter is just a tool...
  18. I like how your mind thinks. Plots, scenarios, possibilities just stream by. Keep reviewing. I'm enjoying them immensely!
  19. Perhaps in the context of living in a fairly small town with a low crime rate and everybody into everyone else's business, it did suck in a big way for Dean.
  20. I don't remember writing anywhere that Dean was interested in a casual intimate relationship....

    Fall semester

    Bruno was motivated by money and was very good at writing code for encrypting data, and data transfers. The mob is very good at using front companies, many doing mostly legit business to launder money and acquire other things.

    Epilogue

    Thanks for taking the time to read my story and review. I really appreciate it. I do have some other stories in the works.

    Another Gunshot

    I should have provided a map of the area. Ash street curves gently and the houses are fairly far apart. I think I mentioned 60 feet in the story, so they are angled slightly.
  24. EPILOGUE Dean finished out the semester wearing the vest. While sweaters worked in March and April, he had to get some looser Polo's for May. With no new threats, and at the concurrence of the FBI and his personal security, he shed the vest after the end of the semester. He enrolled in the summer session and took twelve credit hours and studied constantly. With the fall semester he officially became a senior in college. He did buy a 2008 Prius for his twenty-second birthday and enjoyed
  25. A feel good story inspite of the darker elements in the genesis of Al. I love happy endings and this story warrants
