Fascinating that Captain Calder is so clueless and hidebound in his ideas. The arrogance of the status quo usually founders on the rock of reality. Nelson was the hero and man of the hour for his actions and Calder's point of view is like pissing into the wind. George's love life was less than heroic on the voyage home, but it appears he has made a real ally in Clifton and his well-connected father.

You've just been waiting to use that term. Admit it!

I voted for the Giants, but what do I know? I expected the Packers to be in it.

Will loves to party and he comes by it naturally.

Anyone's nightmare who has ever put someone they love on a plane.....

Just what will this day bring him? A cliffie!

What a good hook. You set it just right. Now on to ch. 2....

Thanks for the interview and the background. Dealing with a sixteen year old son is a challenge, while working full-time, maintaining a household and having the time consuming hobby of writing. Kudos to your time-management!

I like how Mark tied up some loose ends. The battle descriptions were clear and concise. Two messengers and the one to be let out at Plymouth is a bit full of himself. That Jervis asked George to delete his part in splitting the fleet more clearly squares with the historical account and of course Jervis would make sure the admiralty knew of his little contribution. They all come out winners and George gets to go home and find out the latest on his home front. Great job Mark! Perhaps this part of the Granger series is coming to a close soon.

Calder seems a bit 'prickly'..... Nice job tying up the loose ends and bringing the account of the battle to more closely square with history!

Keep it coming!

Prompt 94 - The Accident
Daddydavek commented on comicfan's story chapter in Prompt 94 - The Accident
Ya done good! -
Some interesting reads of which I've finished 11, some read a couple of times. I've started another 7 and put them down without finishing. While it is an interesting list, it is hardly comprehensive and there ares some very cool books missing. For instance, Catcher in the Rye, The Old Man and the Sea, The Heart of Darkness....I could go on ad nauseum.

Chapter 14 is up and is all about Wade and Matt following the revelations in the mensroom. It is a nice piece of writing that goes into some detail about their relationship with a positive resolution of some of their problems. Well done and interesting in an intimate way. Good job. I like the way that Matt explains his feelings about Riley. I wouldn't have thought of that, but now I can picture it.

These guys have reaffirmed their commitment to each other, not just in words, but in understanding. Kudos Mark, nice job of writing.

What an unmitigated load of cow flops.

...The Right Decisions Are Often the Hardest to Make
Daddydavek commented on Jwolf's story chapter in ...The Right Decisions Are Often the Hardest to Make
I think Torontotop said it all for me in his review of Chapter 20. -
“Sir George,” Jervis said to Granger. “You are to be a spectator today as well. You will remain abreast Captain to relay my signals, and then when this action is over, you will convey Sir Gilbert and his staff, as well as my official messenger and reports, directly to London.” The quote from the chapter sure seems to indicate that is Jervis' plan.........
-
What a set-up! Loved it. Can't wait for more. Westie's ideas about Viscount Brentwood sounds interesting and we know from the chapter that when the battle ends, George is being sent to London with the news. I guess that means the end of this book is coming soon and we will have to wait for the start of the next to find out what happens in London. Mark is really handing us the cliffies.....
-
Great chapter! Hopefully the next one will be up tonight if not sooner?

If reading that list didn't make you smile at least once, then you have no sense of humor!

What Song Was Number 1 The Day You Were Born?
Daddydavek replied to methodwriter85's topic in The Lounge
Billboard #1 Song on my birthday was "Near You" by Francis Craig. I guess all those WWII guys and gals liked it. It sounds really dated although George Jones released a version in 1976 The orginial was on a 78 rpm record. Here's the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61uhUJcPfK8 -
I've been to a lot of hockey games and never knew the players got so horney after exhausting themselves on the rink...Wow! Nice chapter and interestingly ironic way for Matt to hear just how big a prick Carl really is from Carl's own mouth.

Never heard of the book or movie. As to the question, the last time I saw my father was April 22, 1963. I was sitting on the passenger side of the front seat of our station wagon with dad driving when we were hit by a pick-up truck. I lived, dad died. He was 42. I was 15. It was one of the defining moments of my life.

Well Gonzales survived, maybe Trevor can too? Please?
