wip wednesday aka i can't believe i'm actually writing again

working on a thing affectionately titled "rwrb fic or something." i hope you enjoy.

They’re on the road by one, and a little over an hour later, Alex is walking through Austin with Henry at his side. Henry’s in Alex’s Stetson, which, Alex says, is the hottest he’s ever seen him. He notes that he has to get him his own one of these days. At this point, it’s a necessity.

They make a beeline for Franklin Barbecue with one of each of their respective security teams in line with them, and Alex is nearly vibrating out of his skin as he talks about the first time he came here with his family when his mom was in the state legislature and held a fundraising event. He and June both fell asleep in the car on the way home, exhausted from the excitement and the brisket and the pulled pork. They each had to be carried inside.

“I swear I smell this place in my dreams.”

It takes a while, but it’s worth it, just like Alex expected it to be. His fingers are covered in grease and sauce, and there’s a solid mountain of thin paper napkins on the table along with several wipe packs torn open, but none of it stops him from using the heels of his hands to grab Henry’s face and kiss his own sauce-covered lips.

“No, this is the hottest I’ve ever seen you,” he announces into the little space between them.

Henry, whose hands are similar to Alex’s but suspended in mid-air, laughs. “I feel like I need a shower.”

“That can be arranged.” And, because he’s a menace to society, Alex doesn’t break eye contact as he sticks his thumb in his mouth and sucks off the excess sauce.

Henry drops his head, shaking it back and forth. “Oh, that’s not fair.”

“You can be a little messy, Your Majesty, no one gives a shit.”

“You’re a horrible influence on me.”

“You say horrible, I hear wonderful.” Alex goes to do it again, but is stopped this time by the way Henry is batting his hand away and kissing him.

Then he’s saying, “Show me messy,” in a low, sultry voice and Alex immediately makes them wrap up and get out of there.

They end up in a random bar, one that’s starting to get busy now that it’s early evening, and he drags Henry straight to the bathroom which, miraculously, turns out to be a single-person accommodation. Even if it wasn’t, Alex knows Cash is stationed a few feet away outside.

If Henry wants to see messy, then Alex will gladly show him messy. He drops to his knees with a wink, undoing his belt and turning his baseball hat around so the brim isn’t in the way. Thus marks the first Texas dive bar-based blowjob Henry’s received, cheeks flushed a beautiful shade of red and chest heaving.

“Fuck,” Alex hears above him. “I—fuck.”

“Such a way with words, sweetheart.” He stands, giving Henry a proper kiss.

“Why was that so…so mind blowing?” Henry asks. He’s still moderately panting.

Alex leans back against the sink, arms out. “It’s Texas, baby!”

Apparently that’s enough of an answer for Henry, who weakly pushes off the wall that’s covered in stickers and silver Sharpie profanity, slamming into him. He wouldn’t be surprised if his lips were a little bruised later on tonight, but he doesn’t care. Not when Henry’s on him like this.

They go at it until there’s a knock on the door and Cash’s voice carries through, saying, “You got a line forming,” forcing them to make themselves look presentable.

Alex laughs. “Shit.”

“How about you buy me a beer and show me how to line dance?” Henry suggests as they exit, his fingers hooked into one of Alex’s belt loops to keep him close. They’re met with a mostly unfazed short line of bar-goers and Cash.

“I swear if I wasn’t so fucking love with you already,” Alex trails off, guiding Henry toward an already-forming crowd.

It’s ridiculous and lovely in every single way; Henry misses the mark several times, bumps into Alex nearly every other step, barely catching himself in the process. By the time he does get the hang of it, there’s an older woman in a frilly dress and brick red lipstick grabbing Henry by the hand and spinning him around. There’s a permanent smile plastered to his face, and as Alex takes a quick breather and watches as the woman pats Henry’s left leg as a way of telling him to move it back and follow her lead, he finds himself putting this whole day on the list of his favorites when it comes to that man.

The thing is, Texas looks good on Henry; he’s already sunkissed from just two days at the lake, but it’s not only that. He’s more carefree here, more himself. Alex knows not everyone is going to recognize Henry, even if Alex’s own mother is the President and just last year he, a native Texan, was involved in an international scandal with that very Prince of England. But either that doesn’t matter or at the moment, the universe doesn’t care, because Henry is laughing and likely talking freely with more strangers now than he ever has in his life.

Henry can be shy and reserved, a natural introvert from years of Royal protocol, while Alex has a caffeine addiction and is always running a mile a minute. If given the opportunity, they’ll both have their noses in some sort of book or, if prompted, can wax poetic about their greatest passions. They’re two very different external personalities, but so similar deep down. They meld so well. If Henry’s the glue that keeps Alex from truly falling apart on his worst days, he only hopes he can be the same.

Alex is pulled out of his thoughts by Henry himself walking over with outstretched hands, a little breathless.

“Rhoda has demanded I make you join us,” he says cheerily, lacing their fingers together.

“Is she your new dance teacher?” Alex teases, watching as Henry rolls his eyes.

“Yes, she’s much better than you. Now, come on, before the song ends.”

Who is LBJ?

A person with compassion, Who was his mentor, FDR or JFK?

Before reading the book [1], we knew only a few facts about LBJ (Lyndon Baines Johnson); for example, he was catapulted to Presidency from VP on the death of JFK, the President; he and Robert, JFK's brother, had serious conflicts; he treated the widow Jackie fairly well; and he may not handle the Vietnam War as well as he liked, which had become his liability.

After reading [1], we learned that he actually was a person with compassion; he passed many important laws: 1964 Civil Rights, 1965 Voting Rights, Medicare and Medicaid (as Social Security amendment), and Immigration and Nationality Act 1965. He passed these important Democratic legislatures, not because he was VP of JFK, but, indeed, he was a protégé of FDR, who promoted New Deal, and LBJ himself worked whole life to promote Great Society. Most importantly, he did these because of, from what I can gather, compassion he had for common people, especially, the poor and blacks. He felt deeply for his servants (both poor and black) who had to walk a long way no bus, no restroom along the way, endured in-human treatment of the society to reach LBJ’s home.

According to [2], Franklin D. Roosevelt‚ was a great man and a shrewd politician, LBJ, the protégé, is at least shrewder. I cannot find the examples of LBJ’s shrewdness, but I found his dark side mentality (characters: fear of failure, and inadequacy), which is more intriguing (making him a real, tragic, vulnerable human being) than the simple facts people have known about him.

He had complicated indecisive nature, cannot declare the candidacy for the 1964 presidency until it was too late; because of his fear of failure (horror of making mistakes [2]). The fear has a lot to do with his father. His father had failed before which caused the whole family descended into poor.

He was graduated from Southwest Teacher’s College, and considered himself not smart enough (inadequate), like Kennedy’s cabinet members, full of Ivy League graduates.

With these dark side, hidden characters, it was natural he was struggling to manage relations with Robert F Kennedy. As a VP, he was ill-treated, ignored purposely by RFK (or un-intentionally by JFK); and right after he became President, everything was reversed, and it was RFK’s turn to have many sleepless nights. Before November 22, 1963, LBJ even lamented "Being VP like being a cut dog [1, p. 205]." In contrast, on December 29, 1963 he hosted a state dinner from Texas, the first social gathering after the death of JKF. In it (Texas White House Christmas Part), everything is Texas; Stetsons hats, 500 lbs of briskets, 300 lbs of spareribs, special barbecue, while at the background, Lady Bird, accompanying the guest, Erhard (German Chancellor), with Johnson behind, offered smiles, gifts, and hugs [1, p. 508]. What a drastic difference!

As a matter of fact, JFK and LBJ complement each other nicely. He has good sense of power; from observing people, from the mentors, also from practicing it (being a House representative and Senator); his success is a lot attributed to two mentors Roosevelt (a protégé to Roosevelt), House speaker Sam Rayburn. JFK proposed legislatures, and LBJ passed them, since he (LBJ) understood how Senate worked. He was a practical (hands-on) person, however, he lacked finesse that may be needed in complicated political matters, see Vietnam War (Liability) below.

He had self-destructive, self-indulged tendency; he resumed smoking right after his presidency. He consumed 3 packs a day, a true chain smoker. It was sad, because he died at age of 64 (on January 22, 1973, 4 years and 2 days after completed his Presidency); it was really too young to die.

It is also important to mention that he had good family, wife and two daughters.

Great Society (Some failed, though)

During his presidency, he passed, promoted or supported important Democratic legislatures: 1964 Civil Rights, 1965 Voting Rights (first term), War on Poverty, Medicare and Medicaid (Social Security Amendments), 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. These legislatures have long lasting effects on today’s US society.

He also signed 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, Hart-Celler Act, into law, which abolished National Origins Formula which had been the basis of the U.S. immigration policies since 1920s. Senator Philip Hart and Congressman Emanuel Celler introduced a bill to repeal the . The bill received wide support from both northern Democratic and Republican members of Congress, but strong opposition mostly from Southern Democrats, the latter mostly voting Nay or Not Voting. LBJ, a Southern Democrat himself, supported the legislature [3].

Great Society seems a proper term to summarize his life-time democratic valued efforts (including War on Poverty), as compared to New Deal, which was championed by his mentor FDR.

Vietnam War (Liability)

Vietnam War, under his presidency, became worse . In Cuba crises, Johnson took hawkish stand, as opposed to the more dovish approach taken by his boss. It is no wonder that, in his rein, Vietnam war became worse.

Babylon 5 - 2x05

“The Long Dark”

This “crazy” man is giving me major Stark [from Farscape] vibes …. wait …. also kind of looks like Barclay from Star Trek …. IT IS Barclay [Dwight Schultz].

It is still a little shocking to see Lee Stetson in C & C. Everyone else on the show was new to me, so this is how I picture them. But I have seen Bruce Boxleitner in a lot of different things, and it is a little weird.

Mariah isn’t really reacting the way I would imagine someone would act after learning they have been asleep for 100 years, found out their husband is dead, and have just seen their first alien.

Sometimes I don’t know whether it is the actor’s poor acting ability or if it’s the character that is acting suspiciously. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Franklin has fallen for her … didn’t her husband just die? And she said, “We just said good night to each other” …. And even if her marriage wasn’t great, why is Franklin so ready to settle down with her? He hasn’t even had a chance to really talk with her about anything substantial! Granted, she is pretty, but still….

More talk of “darkness” and G’Kar seems to know a lot more than he is saying. And what he did say to Mariah was interesting: “Take my advice and go back to the time you came from. The future isn't what it used to be.” In season 1 it was Kosh that was the most mysterious to me, but now G’Kar is more so. But we also haven’t really seen a lot of Kosh in this season so far.

Chicago River (No. 3)

The Chicago Riverwalk is an open, pedestrian waterfront located on the south bank of the main branch of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Illinois managed by MB Real Estate. It extends from Lake Shore Drive to Lake Street. Called the city's 'Second Waterfront', after Lake Michigan, the Riverwalk contains restaurants, park-seating, boat rentals, and other activities. Its current and planned final extent was opened to Wolf Point in 2017.

In conjunction with the Chicago Department of Transportation, construction of the Riverwalk began in 2001 as an extension of the Wacker Drive reconstruction project. With the rebuilding of Wacker Drive, the street was purposely relocated to allow for development of the walk. The oldest section now called Market, between Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue was at first an extension of the lake shore trail with tour boat docks, concessions and stair access. Sections at first required going up to street and bridge level to access the next section, until design plans and funding could be arranged over time.

The plan developed by architects at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill called for four separate districts within the riverwalk: Confluence, Arcade, Civic and Market, all with a specific location and theme in mind.

Confluence: Located where the Main, North and South branches of the River intersect. Previously the location of taverns, hotels and convention centers, it is now a major intersection of not only the River but the neighborhoods that border it. This area of the Riverwalk was expanded fifty feet into the river for the installation of park space and pedestrian access to Upper Wacker Drive as well as various amenities located in this area.

Arcade: The District spanning east from Franklin to State Street. It is called the "Arcade" because of the architectural detailing that separates the riverfront from the rest of the Wacker Drive.

Civic: The District spanning east from Dearborn St. to Michigan Ave. It includes the Chicago Bridgehouse Museum, located at Michigan Ave. and Wacker Dr., and is also the focal point for visitor and tourist activities, primarily for the boat launches. The Trump International Tower and Hotel is also located along this stretch of the Riverwalk, as well as notable landmarks such as the Wrigley Building and the Tribune Tower.

Market: The District spanning from Columbus Dr. (including Stetson St.) east to Lake Shore Drive. Location of Chicago's First Lady boat launch as well as a beautifully landscaped space that contrasts with the other districts while walking east towards the lakeshore. This area also includes a restaurant, Cyrano's and a residential community: Lakeshore East.

At State and Wabash Streets where the Riverwalk is at its widest is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza, commemorating events that took place during that war. Designed by Ross Barney Architects and built in 2005, it is nestled within the Riverwalk and consists of a terraced lawn, a waterfall and a central pool. The Chicago Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Plaza, one of the largest in the nation outside of Washington, D.C., connects people to the riverfront, provides an escape from the steel and glass of the City, and bejewels the City's waterfront. Its public objectives and finished forms embody what a memorial plaza should be; a remembrance of those that served, and a celebration of the living. The plaza occupies land, reclaimed by the rebuilding and relocation of Wacker Drive, to create an urban park, with terraces and bench-lined ramps that gently transition from busy city streets to more quiet spaces near the river, providing a green refuge. Plans were announced to deploy the full intention of a connected path from Lake Michigan west towards Lake Street. Ross Barney Architects was again charged with envisioning this extension. Phase 01 was completed in 2009 with under-bridge canopies and new landscaping added south of State Street.

On October 8, 2012, Mayor Rahm Emanuel unveiled plans for an addition to the Riverwalk, extending it another six blocks along Chicago's River from State to Lake streets. Phases Two and Three of the Riverwalk, a collaborative design effort between Sasaki and Ross Barney Architects, links a series of six distinct civic spaces or "rooms", each named for its unique program. Floating gardens, a bridge and fishing piers will aim to create more recreational options for the city's "Second Lakefront," and connect the downtown area. As of early summer 2015, three of the rooms will be finished, completing Phase Two: the Marina (food vendors and seating to watch watercraft), the Cove (boating and kayak rentals), and the River Theater (amphitheater seating and a link to Upper Wacker Drive). Phase Three, the final three blocks, is planned to be completed by the end of 2016.

In June 2015, The Marina Plaza, The Cove, and The River Theater sections of the Riverwalk from State Street to LaSalle Street was officially opened.

The City has been working on the development plan for the Chicago Riverwalk since the 1990s. During the reconstruction of East-West Wacker Drive, the roadway was reconfigured to allow greater public access to the river. The City received Congressional approval to redefine the navigational channel allowing the build-out of the path 20 feet under each bridge and 25 feet between each bridge and 50 feet between Franklin and Lake Street in order to extend the Riverwalk.

The City obtained $98 million for design engineering and construction from the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act). The remaining phase along the south bank of the river from Lake Street to State Street will connect to the previously completed section of the Riverwalk.

In October 2016, The Water Plaza, The Jetty, and The Boardwalk sections from LaSalle Street to Lake Street opened to the public.

The city is planning a $10M renovation of the Riverwalk east of State Street. The oldest section of the walk, Riverwalk East will see improvements like new landscaping, seating, play areas, and walkways.

KJ Jones: If You Don’t Know Now You Know

From one college scholarship offer, to receiving no post season awards, to becoming an All-District and All-America player. You rarely see a player make the jump the way that KJ Jones II made from his Freshman to his Sophomore season. Although he had a sensational sophomore season and he began to get the credit that was due; many people overlooked the fact that he helped lead Emmanuel to an 18-12 record, which was good enough to earn the second-best record in Conference Carolinas while leading them in scoring as an 18-year-old freshman. Jones finished his freshman year averaging 13.3 points per game while shooting 42% from the field, 35% from beyond the arc, and 84% from the free-throw line. Despite producing the way he did on one of the best teams in the conference as a freshman, he was left off every awards list at the end of the season.

Jones spoke about how that fueled his fire in the off-season. "Not being selected on an All-Conference team my freshman year definitely put a huge chip on my shoulder and fueled my off-season. I remember the night I didn't get selected, and Coach Rosene told me that I should have. I responded with, 'It's okay, I just have to keep working.' I told myself I would never be left off one of those lists again. In addition to that, I thank God for giving me a work ethic that doesn't allow me to be satisfied. I didn't take a single day off this past summer. Whether I was getting better mentally or physically, I was pushing harder each day, and I took full advantage of the extra time we had in the off-season due to COVID."

Fast forward to a year later, and all that off-season work turned KJ into one of the country's biggest nightmares. As a Sophomore, KJ averaged 22 points while shooting 49% from the field, 41% from 3, and 91% from the free-throw line. He led his team in every other statistical category; rebounds, assists, and steals. He stayed true to his word of not being left off one of those lists again. The accolades poured in as he was selected as Conference Carolinas Player of the Week three times, First Team All-Conference, All-Tournament Team, Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, NABC All-District and NABC All-American team. Although KJ is one of the most gifted players in the country, his play not only got him individual accomplishments but helped Emmanuel College basketball reach heights never before reached. They started the season with a win over Division 1 opponent, Stetson University. The Lions were crowned Regular-Season Conference Champs after going 11-2 in conference play while earning an automatic bid to the NCAA National Tournament. They won their first two rounds to advance to the Sweet 16.

Jones spoke on what was his focus heading into this season, "My main focus coming into my sophomore season was my leadership. I knew I would continue to live in the gym and elevate my game. Leadership was specifically my main focus because coming off of my freshman year as the team's leading scorer; I knew that my role would be increased. I would be expected to play at a high level, lead by example, and elevate my teammates," Jones continued. "It was important to me to come back and strive to make my teammates better so that we could be the best team we could be."

Many people may wonder how a 6'6 guard that talented ended up in Franklin Springs, Georgia. The answer is simple for Jones, "I chose EC because they wanted me to be here. They recruited me extremely hard my senior year of high school when I had no other offers. EC was my only offer, and I believe that is because God wanted me to be here, and I am just grateful they took a chance on me."

The combination of talent, work ethic, and coaches that pour into and believe in you is what also played a role in the success of KJ. Jones spoke on the role Coach Rosene helped play in his success. "My relationship with Coach Rosene has grown a ton from my freshman year to now. He especially poured into me a lot coming back in the Fall of 2020. In the preseason, we had many one-on-one conversations on how he felt I could lead and contribute to this team this year. From day one of coming back to campus, he told me how much better I had gotten and how much he believed in me. He explained that it would not always be pretty or easy taking on the leadership of an entire team while also trying to make sure I stay on top of my game. However, he assured me that he and the rest of the coaching staff would always have my back. Only being a 19-year-old sophomore, I wasn't sure of a lot of things and still don't know everything, but the confidence that Coach Rosene has put into me has allowed me to thrive in his program. He pushes me hard and has played a vital role in my development and success so far. I truly couldn't be more thankful to play for him."

It's scary to think that Jones is only a 19-year-old college sophomore. With his hunger to be great and his work ethic, the future is exceptionally bright for him and the Emmanuel College Lions.
