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?

Wade is having an impact and perhaps the team will be better despite the clueless coach. His meeting with the bankers could be interesting as well. High fees and mediocre performance are not a recipe for long-term success or relationships.

Happy Birthday Riley! I hope you're having a red letter day! Enjoy!

What Happens Next In CAP?
Daddydavek replied to methodwriter85's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Mark's Topics
Whew, CAP is currently in the Fall of 2000 or more than eleven years in the past. I'm still waiting for Mark to introduce Mark Bingham into the story line working our way up to 9/11 or use some other way to bring our cast of characters into that historical perspective where it actually touches them and has a pronounced effect. As to how it will all shake out relationship-wise and other-wise for the cast of the story, I suspect Mark has some ideas and sometimes he lets his stories tell themselves and lead where they take him.... His muse has an historical bent so he will continue to provide context and background apropos to the time. -
Chapter 28 is up and set the stage for the battle and it is a freaking hoot! Loved it!
-
What a chapter in what I assumed is the beginning of the battle of St. Vincent. Plowing through the Spanish fleet at night, in the fog, was as bold as brass, but what else could they have done once they found themselves in their midst?

Treasure each day as they all go by too fast! So sorry to hear about your mom and hope she was cheered to see the grandbaby. Going back to work sucks. At least you got some quality time off to bond with her and now you have a really good reason to not spend extra time at the office! Mike will get to see some really neat stuff over the next two months too and it's so nice you guys could be with her for he first six months of her life. You are both so blest and I think you are beginning to appreciate just how much. Sleeping through the night is a biggie. God bless you and Mike and baby Q too!

It seems like all the guys who are the best at rimming have some facial hair which seems to definitely add to the sensation....And despite my avatar I do not have a beard or 'stache, just all the white hair.

The writing in Chapter 11 shows a lot of thought and care in use of the language. From the dialogue with Sean, the later encounter with Matt, to the last sentence of the chapter, it is tight, spare, and very well crafted. The story has definitely moved up a notch in intensity and I eagerly await more. While I too, in some ways prefer the Granger series at the moment because that story is heading into an epic clash, the CAP series was my first introduction to the Arbour world and I could never ignore it.

It's only a temporary fixation. Another great ending line in a well written chapter. I really enjoyed it. Somehow though, I think Wade's mom will still give him grief.
