New Glen Update

Hello boys and girls. How's life treating you? I'm doing pretty good for a man with something on his mind. I guess you'll hear about it soon but for now I'm going to tell you about everyone else's stuff

Remember when Zack arrived at the Glen? How bout that little boy named after the guys who helped bring him into the world? Little Benjamin Maximus Moran to be exact. We've got a blast from the past for you with the RR from the Ben and Liana Wade wedding reception gracing our pages. Enjoy folks. It'll give you some prospective on things that are going on now.

We're going to start off with a little tale about the over protective Bud White and his lovely lady Marie. Marie wants a girls day out but that means the boys have to watch little Katie Marie. The big cop may be able to handle a full grown woman but how's he going to deal with one that hasn't got her wisdom teeth yet?

Next, Hando does what he does best. A little verbal fun with Jean leaves her panting and drooling like a Pavlov dog. How does he do that and if they can bottle it, I'll buy a case.
Steve Moran has his hands full when Brookie turns into Regan from the Exorcist. Whatever she has, I don't want so I'm not buying that stock. Millie sure makes his day though. Read on.

Richie is missing Nonnie. How bout that huh? As a guy I can relate to his antics but there's always one female you want to keep at home, barefoot
scratch that. Richie is missing Nonnie.

We haven't heard from Jason Morgan in a while. It's about time we met one of his friends, or whatever she is. I get the feeling we'll be hearing more from Natasha Scott but I would rather wait until she is over whatever is ailing her. She may have that Brook Moran disease or maybe it's what Millie's got.

Are Kim and Cara ready to take the plunge? Into the housing market that is. They're outgrowing the flat but there's something else buried under this arrangement. I like the feeling of it too.

Poor Captain Aubrey. He's fallen into a rabbit hole by the sounds of it. Whatever is plaguing a few residents at the Glen, and one in Sydney, has got him by the short hairs. Thank goodness for the kindness of new friends, Robin and Julie, old friends, Maximus and Joimus and his worrying wife Bridgid.

Good thing that JJ is not John Biebe's type or he'd be stuck in that tender trap. Of course he does something nice for her, well after he did something not so nice.
Bringing up the rear, we're about to find out what happened to Libby. (I was on tender hooks myself but we'll keep that quiet)

She's not in good shape and Richie jets to her side. What happened is awful but how will Nonnie handle Richie going to help Libby? After all she does have a brother but who knew? This is an edge of seat piece folks so take your time and digest. There's a bit of heartburn here.

And that's all she wrote, whoever she is. Enjoy the issue.

HOUSE OF USHER

A CORT STORY
By Andii Valo

http://libriscrowe.com/Andii/houseofusher1.htm

(stretch, yawn)

Where the hell am I , anyhow? Ah, there you all are. Yep the press woke me up. It must have been the sound of all of those spider webs falling off of it or maybe it was the rust. Whatever it was, Colleen has brought me a cup of joe and I'm all bright eyed and bushy tailed about this issue.

Lots of things have happened since this old man fell asleep by a tree. Rip Van has nothing on me though as I look better with a scruffy beard than that old fart.

C'mon ladies. You know you agree with me.

Do I hear crickets? Well shit, I guess maybe you'll say something nice after you read this issue of the Glen times.

First off, Sheriff Biebe is back with a bang. Okay, I don't mean literally or even figuratively but maybe eventually he'll get lucky with the biker babe he's come across. She's certainly got my attention.

Down boy!

Next...

Can you imagine Sid with a kid? Can that blue blood share Kate with a baby? Who knows? Maybe some day we'll be talking about Sid and Kate with eight.

Onward...

What's Aubrey gotten into this time? There may be horses for carts but Aubrey is best suited standing on planks. It's Robin to the rescue along with his lovely companion Julie. The General and Bridgid bring up the rear but it may be more than a horse that's put the captain on his backside.

And then there's....

Jeffrey and Meggie on a shopping trip. He seems to be feeling some melancholy as he and Meggie buy some bootie for the girls. He'll have some splainin' to do for sure.

There are more purchases for the couple on the horizon and Nonnie's store is just the spot for everyone from grown up men like Jeffrey to all of the booming baby population in the Glen.

But...

Meggie exposes a dream to Jeffrey, sort of. Life may not be a bowl of cherry blossoms for our favorite romantic couple but I have a good feeling about them. sort of.

We move on to....

Wedding preparations for Toni and Travis. Their families are there for the happy couple and daddy and mommy are there for Cole right now. Things are good but what will tomorrow bring?

A wedding perhaps?....

Yes, they're tying the knot. Travis and Toni are taking the plunge and its a beauty of a day. Morning coats and garden party dresses, a few close friends and family witness the I doose and the likes. Little Cole will not be going along on the honeymoon but someone else beside the bride and groom will be. Guess who?

Onward to...

Richie's son Michael has arrived, changed slightly since the last time his dad saw him. Michael has more on his mind than girls though it does look like the apple has not fallen too far from the tree. The kid's a real bulldog lawyer in the making.

Oh, then....

What, besides their line of work, do March and Nonnie have in common? Read on and maybe you'll raise a glass to it.

Last but surely not least....

Colin is doing some searching and the least of which he's looking into is his soul. What does Sid stand for anyway? Sure isn't Daddy?

So there you are folks. It's about time we let you in on our little secrets at the Glen again. I sure hope they keep you hungry for more about our town. I'm sure someone would be happy to feed your curiosity here at the Glen Times.

Disclaimer: This was not a dig at Alex Ross's rag, I mean Tattler. I'm sure he may have something valuable to print soon.

Love ya all,

Cal

After a bit of a rest, Atonia has resumed her House of Four Seasons saga. This time we join Toni and Max...

Renaissance in Firenze By Atonia

Max takes Toni on a trip to Florence; the honeymoon they never had. All goes well, until Toni feels the pull from Maximus. Was Italy the wrong choice for them to relax and enjoy their time without the young ones?

Glen Times for April 8th

Welcome to tonight's Glen Times. The press gave us hell tonight, so after he finally managed to get it going, Cal begged off, saying he was more broke than the press was! I've given him until I finish this issue and get upstairs to fix himself!

The Glen's new butcher shop is open at last! The McGees' new place will be a welcome addition to our little town. Make sure to stop in!

A very eclectic batch of stories tonight! Seemingly nothing tying them all together, except the fact that they're all about Glen residents. So I'll let you, dear readers, see if you can find anything in common amongst them for yourselves! Read on:

April 8th, 2010

Special Announcement

The Butcher's Hook, Grand Opening

The Glen's own butcher shop! Open at last!

Nonnie Scott

Digging In

Miss Scott has decided she's gonna fight for her man! Hopefully, it won't be literally!

Ben, Liana, Dan, Olivia, Tom, Tori, Jeff, & Stevo

Livvy's First Visitors

The littlest Wade has her very first visitors now that she's home. It's the ambo drivers who took her to the hospital! But how will her daddy take to them?

Tom and Tori

Practise, Practise, Practise

Practise makes perfect! And these two are working toward perfection!

Libby and Abby

The Cubs at Play

I'm hard at work getting out this issue and Abby and Libby are out shopping and discussing their love lives. Sigh... WHY aren't these two at work?

Richie and Libby

Until we Meet Again

The solicitor and the cub run into each other in Coffs and can't seem to leave each other alone. And what's this? The solicitor making an indecent proposal?!

Toni and Libby

An Uncomfortable Visit

Poor Toni! She thought she was through with Richie when they filed for divorce, but first Nonnie showed up for advice, and now her ex's OTHER girlfriend is on her doorstep!

Travis and Toni

The Wash House

Ah, there's nothing like a dirty man and a wash house and... Oh, sorry! Where was I? Oh, yes, Travis and Toni are having a conversation about her ex and the current goings-on in their own lives!

Richie and Nonnie

Reconnection

And here's our dear solicitor once again. He seems to be reconnecting with both the women in his life! When does he find time to practice law?

Kyle and Frank

Security Meeting

The two men handling private security in the Glen have a little meeting of their own. Mostly guy talk, but they do find time to discuss a bit of business. I'd feel really secure sitting between these two!

And there you have it! All the news that's fit to print! Thanks to our writers for putting it together for us, and thanks to Cal and myself for getting it to press. Hey, you gotta toot your own horn once in awhile! Don't forget to join us for the next issue. Hopefully, Cal won't be broke by then!
