Just so somebody doesn't decide to grab it and yank it off! Colin

Neither did we. But when I was between 9 and 11 it was fun to look at the front of boy's suits and try to guess what was inside. Even more fun when their suits were wet! Colin

Instead of paper claim tickets for checked swimsuits, you get a plastic tag on a rubber band that you put on your wrist. Colin

Yeah, that's Cole. The one time he lost his grip on a claim. It will probably haunt him forever. Colin

I don't write sequels to my novels. Colin

7 hours ago, Bruin Fisher said: Bruin, spell checking wouldn't have caught the problem. I could fix the title but that would make some of the posts... confusing. Altimexis should be able to fix it. Colin

Talo Segura is a new author at Codey's World. His novel Milo is about one summer at a family house in the South of France. Milo turns sixteen, and when his father hires Estevo to do some repairs, attractions and revelations mix with family problems and a long held secret. Milo will no longer be able to retreat and hide in the imagined worlds of literature. He will be tested and played with by his cousins and this new arrival. Exactly what is going on between these two families risks erupting into a thunderous climax and a deluge of emotions as heavy as any summer storm. This is an engrossing story that's highly recommended!

Thanks, R. I like Eve's comment about starting a fire, too! Colin

Thank you, Camy. Hugs back to you! Colin

When I was in high school I began reading the Quarry series. I started with Falling Off a Log ending with Sudden Storm (obviously after I graduated from high school). Great stories. Jack in the Box is an outstanding sequel. Colin

I don't know what Castle Roland is, but Jack in the Box is posted here: http://www.storiesbydriver.net/ Colin

Chili Verde is excellent. But a Guisado is an even better choice as a cold weather meal. Carnitas, green chilies, tomatillos, squash, cilantro, spices. Sometimes potatoes are included, too. Colin

The stories written by Grasshopper are on IOMFATS here. Be sure to read Jamie's Journal dated October 16, 2008. My reference to "Grasshopper" is based on the TV show "Kung Fu" which was popular in the 1970's. It was shown on Nick at Nite on the Nickelodeon channel (the first cable channel for kids) which I watched when I was around 10 years old. Colin

Keep watching for upcoming chapters, Grasshopper… much will be revealed — sooner or later. Colin
