April 21, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will I opened the door to find my father there with Jake behind him, as if he were Jake’s human shield. “Welcome home,” Dad said, and embraced me warmly. I thought it was nice that he’d taken off his tie and shed his jacket, as if to announce that he was no longer Mr. Corporate America. “I missed you,” I said warmly. Dad looked at Travis, then at Jake, then back at Travis, pretty much just like I had, then finally kicked h

Hey, all! A mild 9C here.

Poor Ian. It’s hard to have so many expectations at just five years of age. He may have the smarts, but he doesn’t have the maturity yet, as witnessed b6 his meltdown about learning the technicalities of the language of music. I don’t quite get the determination to make Gaea like Earth II. Things had gone so wrong there, I would think they would want a completely fresh start. Name your cities and locations after places on Earth I. That’s fine. But make a break and make a new society with more care for each other and the world on which you are now living!

April 21, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will Travis and Jake sat next to each other at dinner, and even though I was sitting next to Travis, I could see their reflections in the mirror. It was fun to try and figure out how exactly their appearances were different, but I decided my initial conclusion was correct. They had similar major parts, they were just assembled a bit differently. I noticed, for example, that Jake had a higher forehead than Travis, which had the effect o

We're expecting 88% here. Might hop outside and check it out between patients if the clouds clear.

Head Waters, Virginia -- population 88 in the 2020 census.

Thank you. I've thought about and worked out a lot about Liam and Ed's relationship. I want to show them navigating their way around their relationship, they are only 15 and 14. They are both very damaged souls, look what Ed did to survive at school, but they also care about each other.

Liam dumped the laundry basket down on his bed. He’d have to empty it and his jeans were only just covering his underpants but Ed would see his underpants. He could just grab all his clothes and shove them into his wardrobe though Ed would think he was crazy. Ed dropped down onto Liam’s bed, next to the laundry basket. “Hurry up and we can go and watch TV,” Ed said. “Is there anything on?” “I don’t know. If its shit, you can read your book.” “Okay.” He’d have to be

April 25, 2004 The Pacific Coast Highway Pacific Palisades, CA Will “Nice that traffic is light,” Travis said. “I’m usually fighting it going the other way.” It was 8:00 in the morning, and we were heading to Malibu so Travis and I could get situated, and so we could surf. “That’s because it’s Sunday, dipshit,” I said, giving him crap. “Whatever,” he said, which made Stef smirk because he’d said it just like I did. “I am wondering how you are planning t

St. Vincent's illness must be short-lived. I believe he replaces Spencer as First Lord in a couple of years. He had an extraordinarily long lifespan for this time, dying at 88.

April 24, 2004 The Beverly Hills Hotel Beverly Hills, CA Will “Waves rocked today!” Travis said, and high fived me. We’d gotten down here in time to spend a couple of hours in the water and still make it to the hotel and get ready for the big party tonight. We were sitting in Grand and Stef’s suite, enjoying some pre-dinner cocktails. “Makes me remember what I liked best about living down here,” Dad said. He impulsively looked down at his Blackberry and freaked out.

The name of the holiday comes from the phrase Sorry Charlie, popular in the United States. According to some, the phrase comes from a Starkist Tuna commercial in the 1970s. Tasty Tuna In the commercial, the main character, Charlie the Tuna, believes he has good taste and wants to be caught by the Tuna company. The company, however, rejects Charlie by attaching a note to a fish hook that says “Sorry Charlie.” The reason Charlie is rejected by the tuna company is because the company prefers to catch a tuna that tastes good, and not a tuna that has good taste. Rejection Phrase The phrase is now is commonly used as a response to someone who has experienced a rejection. It can be sometimes be seen as an uncaring response. How to Celebrate? Think back on all the rejections in your life – academic, professional and personal – and spend the day reflecting on what you learned from each of them. Treat yourself because you didn’t let any rejections let you down. Did You Know... ...that some schools of tuna fish swim alongside dolphins as a way to protect themselves from sharks and other predatory sea life? *** The college football player knew his way around the locker room better than he did the library. So when my husband's co-worker saw the gridiron star roaming the stacks looking confused, she asked how she could help. "I have to read a play by Shakespeare," he said. "Which one?" she asked. He scanned the shelves and answered, "William." *** Giving a sermon one Sunday, I heard two teenage girls in the back giggling and disturbing people. I interrupted my sermon and announced sternly, "There are two of you here who have not heard a word I've said." That quieted them down. When the service was over, I went to greet people at the front door. Three adults apologized for going to sleep in church, promising it would never happen again. *** We live less than a quarter-mile from the high school, but my son proudly drove there in a car he bought with his own money. A typical first car, it had lots of little problems and was sometimes slow to start. One morning I was surprised to see it still in front of the house, so after school I asked him about it. "I had to get to school early," he said, "so I just ran." *** During an attack of laryngitis I lost my voice completely for two days. To help me communicate with him, my husband devised a system of taps. One tap meant "Give me a kiss." Two taps meant "No." Three taps meant "Yes"—and 95 taps meant "Take out the garbage." *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** sandrewn

WIENE Weiner Is Euphemistic Nickname Ed's PENIS

Ed and Liam are developing a good connection, a friendship. But I fear for them, as they have both been hurt badly in the past.

They boarded the golf carts and drove the short distance to the clubhouse, situated on a low rise overlooking the course and directly below, a small lake, approximately one kilometre long by maybe a half kilometre wide. It sat in a bowl between the hill that the clubhouse stood on, and another, taller, hill opposite that curved down lower at either end. On the right, the river that flowed through the resort emptied into the lake over some rapids, and continued on its meandering course through th

A classic cartoon that was my first introduction to opera. Opera wasn't playe4d in our house and my grandfather said 'If I was to hear that kind of caterwauling I'll step on a cat's tail." He even left the room when Ed Sullivan had an opera singer on his show. As you can tell, he wasn't a veryh openminded person.

We planned to go to a local office for a replacement, but then we discovered that our registration had expired. The new one was at home in a pile of mail. After much thought, we came up with a solution. Taping a sign over the empty license-plate space on the rear of the vehicle, we made the eight-hour trip home safely. Not a single state trooper stopped us, but many passing motorists took great pains to honk and wave at us. Our sign read "Just Married!" *** As a fund-raiser, the chemistry club designed and sold T-shirts. Written across the front were our top "Stupid Chemistry Sayings": • Have yourself a Merry Little Bismuth • What do you do with dead people? Barium • You stupid boron! • We hope your year is very phosphorous. *** My father began teaching business classes at the local prison through a community college. On his first night of class, he started a chapter on banking. During the course of his lecture, the subject of ATMs came up, and he mentioned that, on average, most machines contain only about $1,500 at a given time. Just then a man in the back raised his hand. "I'm not trying to be disrespectful," he told my father, "but the machine I robbed had about $5,000 in it." *** Touring Ireland's countryside with a group of travel writers, we passed an immaculate cemetery with hundreds of beautiful headstones set in a field of emerald green grass. Everyone reached for their cameras when the tour guide said the inventor of the crossword puzzle was buried there. He pointed out the location, "Three down and four across." *** My wife, Dolores, never quite got the hang of the 24-hour military clock. One day she called the orderly room and asked to speak with me. The person who answered told her to call me at the extension in the band rehearsal hall. "He can be reached at 4700, ma'am," the soldier advised. With a sigh of exasperation, my wife responded, "And just what time is that?" *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** sandrewn

Power eyes! And a 96 page report too! Being Nathan's friend is going to help the cause. More please!

We knew this had to happen. But now that it has, my heart is broken for Ed. He has seen a side to Fran, that is far from innocent and is shocked. I hope Ed can come to terms with the means Fran is using to get to the end.

Other then Elisabetta being p---ed off what would be the repercussions of Giorgio outing Cosmo? This is Ravello after all . There must be more to it. Sadly I can see this contributing to Cosmo's downward spiral to where we are told this story is going. I see absolutely nothing redeeming about Elisabetta and Giorgio I know Cosmo finds Ravello boring but what kind of option is this?

As Ed Sheeran says, Maybe a polycule is in the cards—who knows 🤷‍♂️ Don't break your brain over it! Oh, I was just making sense 😅 Or so I thought, at least 💚 Or I'm one of the Slow Ones™️ Well, that's the way, I initially read it 🤷‍♂️

The Court of Ghosts is an epic tale of love, loss, tragedy and rebuilding. Fran and Ed's lives criss cross becoming one and diverging again. This is a long summer read; one most definitely worth undertaking.
