So B'stoke is still 'hovering' and probably has access to the K at its mooring in the river. Still too many loose ends to tie up and we have to wait for another installment to find out what Lisa figured out.

A quick read with a nice flow and it ended right!

I noted the clip only lasted 32 seconds. When I replayed it, it again only lasted 32 seconds. Not nearly long enough for a dirty old man...

C James King of The Evil Cliffhanger Despite there being other pretenders to your throne (who also overuse the evil cliffhanger); NO ONE does it as religiously as the old goat!

I loved how Mickey grew up and moved on with his life and that in the 'aftermath' it turned out so well. But I have to tell you, Tad is the least romantic guy I ever heard of. He couldn't have planned to ask Mick "the question" in the kitchen while Mick was cooking at the stove! I mean, he had to be so excited, the question just popped out and in the scenario--it fell flat. It was a very interesting set-up. Good job.

Wade is not getting the support he wants from Matt, so Gathan does become a bigger threat. With the strong foundation that their relationship was built on, I would have thought that if they broke up it would be over little things as they drifted apart. But all is not lost and hopefully this is just a rough patch as Wade and Matt mature at different rates and develop their relationship; which could end up even stronger.

Ouch! Matt really doesn't see it. Gathan is part of the family, Carl is a dumb jock on the hockey team. Looks like more than a little bump in the road for Wade and he still has to get throuh the stuff with his controlling mother and the drama down at the beach in SoCal.... Concentrating on school may be a respite.

Just wanted to add to the accolades, and it looks like your other readers also want more.

A cute one from Disney animations:

More please! A very fast read and a touch of intrigue at the end of the chapter.

Liked the dessert scene as well as the aftermath.... Learned a new term for what we in US call cream puffs too!

Interesting take on good needing evil. Unfortunately, there is plenty of evil which gets most of the headlines and publicity. I guess that's why features like "making a difference" are so popular as they remind us that there is still plenty of good in the world which doesn't usually grab the media attention...

Interesting story. Based on the title I wonder if our Archangel's family is really dead or if he is just dead to them? Alternatively, does our psychiatric twin cross the line professionally even further and cause another person (the archangel) to suicide and thus bring shunning onto himself. An interesting dynamic that could go either way. Thanks!

Will and JJ each have their own set of issues, just larger than ordinary life, yet they argue and fight like any other siblings relatively close in age. The family dynamics are convoluted at best and now with Jeanine gripped in postpartum depression, JJ is in a funk and rightly so. Will is trying to figure things out and has more success than usual. His asking JJ's opinion about hospitalizing Jeanine was a masterful stroke worthy of a much more experienced person. However, Jeanine and Tiffany, are characters that I hope don't become central to the story.

If Tiffany with the baby Riley moves into Escorial while Wade puts together a house, it will make Isadore very happy. The dinner table conversation at Brad & Robbie's house is never boring. TMI about picking zits, but just the kind of comments teenagers would make.

Ah, but the Aussies are onto the tracking beacon, if they can just figure it out...

A poem of regrets redeemed by the last line: "A single thought you must own No one is truly ever alone." Choose to care for your friends and your friends will care for you.

Merlin and Q... and I'm a

What year did Nat King Cole record the Christmas song'? The Answer: The Nat King Cole Trio first recorded the song early in 1946. That was before even I, was born! And yeah it is one of the "old" standards. Here's one from when I was a teenager:

I also finished reading chapter 3 of Paternity and agree with Centexhs that I didn't know what to say. After some reflection: I'd hate to see Wade and Matt break up. And I was somewhat surprised that Wade took some comfort with Gathan. The chapter is a quick read and the writing is of course excellent. However, the storyline could go in so many directions that it's impossible to guess what will be coming next.

I did not vote. However, in my generation, almost everyone I know who enjoys man to man sex has also tried sex with a woman, at least once and for some many more than that. Like all rites of passage, most everyone tried dipping their tallywhackers that way.

I know I am really old, but I'm still surprised no one included any christmas songs by Johnny Mathis: This one is from the Tonight Show with Carson and I remember seeing it live, I was in my late twenties....

Before you talk to your husband I think you should ask yourself some questions and think about it. 1. How will you feel if you find out he is gay and sexually active that way? 2. How will you feel if he blows it off as a weird dream and you somehow don't quite believe him? 3. How will you feel if he confesses to having gay thoughts, dreams and yearnings and doesn't think he cannot NOT act on them eventually? 4. How will you feel if you wait a bit and see if there are any other signs that cause you to worry more? 5. How will you feel if you wait to see if anything else comes to light and nothing ever does? 6. How is he as a lover, father, provider and helpmate? 7. Do you really talk to each other already or are you still learning how? If you can get a handle on what your own thoughts and feelings will be in the various scenarios, then it is time to ask. But you need to be prepared to be surprised. It could be nothing, nothing serious, or serious....

It's always kind of nice to come across something that really reminds you of a loved one that has passed. In this case it was special that you shared it and that it truly did capture her spunk and spirit of adventure.

Nice twist to the fable. But really, Petunia?
