I woke Wednesday very excited and ready for the time at the finger lakes, in upstate New York. The woods, the lakes, the fresh air and the holiday and the time off, it simply couldn't be better. Cole was waiting in the kitchen and I asked if he wanted to join JJ and I for breakfast. He said nope, mom and dad and the airport. I laughed and said thanks. The run was faster and I was thinking everyone just wanted it over and on with the vacation. JJ went home to shower and clean up as did I. About 40 minutes later he was in my kitchen asking, so we going to Eat N Park and I said nope a diner in the West End, dad has taken me there a few times. It is a throwback, not all you can eat but neither of us will leave wanting more.

I left the roof up and traffic was reasonable. There was a space in the small parking lot and JJ looked around and said dude, you live a strange life and it spans decades. JJ, it's an old time diner, the food is great and as unhealthy as possible. As is typical we had a choice of a booth or the counter and JJ went right to the booth. I joined him coffee was ordered and we were looking at the possibilities. The waitress came and I said, hi Molly how are you? She said fine, what you eating? I said I said a soufflé, she said, damn your just like your dad, how is that asshole? I said fine and I'll have his usual, if you remember what that was. Look kid I remember everything so you are having 3 eggs over, sausage and a side of bacon and rye toast. I said correct. She looked at JJ and said ok Tex, what you having and with a big Texas accent he said what the kid is having. We all laughed and she said, Mike you are almost as much fun as your dad. Once she left JJ asked, so what was that? Well, I have been here like twice, with dad. They want to high school together and are close. When I ask about it I always get Rule 6. At any rate she is fun. The food came and it was good as usual. We had three cups of coffee and a great chat about football and Senior year, it seemed like we were both turning the page. I asked about Dee and he said well that's a long story, but I haven't been with a chick this long. MJ we can talk about all this on the trip. We need to get you a chick. I laughed and said, well I'm not sure about that for a while. Just then the bill came and JJ grabbed it, whipped out a card and said MJ, I got this. Outside he asked, how do they stay open with those cheap prices and that Molly chick is worth the price of admission.

In the car he asked you feel like the adult bookstore experience? Well JJ, first I need to stop at a bank because I'm not using a credit card at a place like that. Then the minute I'm uncomfortable, I'm out of there. He said MJ, when something happens and it will just say no, everyone seems to respect that. Ok, where we going and I was told McKnight Road. I sad, well at least it's the other end of town. On the way I stopped at a branch and use my ATM card and withdrew $200. Back on a very busy road, JJ said about a half a mile on the right a very small strip mall. Soon enough I saw the ADULT WORLD sign and pulled into the parking lot, which had about 15 cars, for three shops. We got out of the car and went inside. Inside I was amazed as there were thousands of movies and toys for every fetish or need. I was shocked and had my eye on cock gag and nip clamps. JJ came up behind me and said, let's get some tokens and check out the back. JJ bought 10 tokens and I did the same, spending $10 each. In the back there must have been 30 booths and JJ went to one. I figured WTF went into a booth and locked the door, put a token in and a video started. I was not interested so I hit the Chanel button and a three was with two chicks and a guy. He was fucking one and sucking tits. Just then it shut down. I thought not much time for a dollar. I opened the door and simply explored. I could tell that most booths were empty and guys were just standing or walking around. I noticed a guy about dad's age who seemed to be following me around. I simply, ducked into a booth and closed the door tight. I dropped a coin in the slot and I started to flip through the channels and stopped at a video with 2 younger guys making out and the door cracked open. Shit, I closed it tight but didn't lock it. The guy who was following me stuck his head in and I said, sorry and he left and I locked the door. I watched the video and was board and went out front. JJ was there and asked if I had fun, I just shook my head and picked the clamps and gag, paid cash. We got in the car and I said never again, but I had to see it up close.

In the car he asked if the toys were for Jack. JJ, I was thinking about how sexy you will look with that gag down your throat. The more than 30 minute drive home was uneventful. JJ jumped out of the car, said thanks for breakfast and ran home. I went straight to my room and called Major Jim. When he answered I asked about the details and he said wheels up at 7:00. We will take the jet and two vans will be at the airport waiting for us. They are our rides for the time we are there. Mike, I got the reports from 5 hours of simulation, I see you died twice. I laughed and said that's correct. Mike, those were exceptional events nice job, I said thanks. When we get back can I get in the air? Absolutely but nothing on this trip. So how long is the trip from the airport to the cabin? Mike, I think about 40 minutes. I thanked him and started packing.

Selecting clothes for anything has always been a chore and this was no exception. There were shorts that were dressy, casual and simply comfortable. I packed the Enterprises running suit, which was a bit small and a Nike one that was a perfect fit. The shirts were a collection of polos from the various counter clubs and various t-shirts. Shoes were sandals, running shoes, flip flops and dockers. I looked at the pile and thought that was a lot for 4 days. Then I added two swim suits. Squeezed in a razor, toothbrush toothpaste looked at a comb and threw it back into the drawer. I was about to close it when I remembered, went to the night stand grabbed a box of 6 condors and a half opened pack of cigarettes. Just before I closed it all up I added the phone charger. With all that done, I called and verified the food delivery and was told that it would be there and perishables would be in the refrigerator. I asked about the beer and was told to relax as it would be cold as would the wine. I said thanks and hung up.

I was thinking about Cole and went looking for him and he was in the basement working out. I just looked and he said what? I just leaned against the wall and he said, I work out and am in shape, I just don't obsess about it and the stuff here serves my needs. So I'm sensing you are still mad about last night. He put down the weights came over got real close, looked me in the eye and said don't ever do that to me again, simply ask the question. I got a giant hug and he said, I get the drug and alcohol issues in the family, just remember I'm just the adopted son and there are no genetic dispositions to those issues. I said adopted? He said I agreed to that with your dad this morning and my dad will be glad to be rid of the responsibilities, but he gets two weeks a year to piss me off. Mike, please trust me, I rely on you more than you will ever know. There was another hug exchange and I asked so a name change? He smiled and said yes, that will drive the golfing community nuts. Then I asked about Michel and he said, perfect in every way. I said great to hear and started upstairs and he said thanks for not asking and the answer is yes, well except on my birthday. That's why the concern about the monthly good news. I simply shook my head and went upstairs.

With a couple of free hours, I went to my room grabbed my headphones and but on a Boston Pops CD I had and just laid there. I was thinking about the book store and the store part was cool but the video area was strange and sad. That that guys had to find that type or place and have anonymous sex, sex with no meaning. Then I thought about the bets and how meaningful they were. Well they were always with people that mattered and not strangers. Not only that but the bets were not always about sex. Especially if you consider the millions of dollars I routinely bet on the business. Then I thought about the next business bet and how big that would be with the new company. I needed to put that out of my mind as Spring was a long way off and hopefully a better economy. Thankfully dad came in and asked, did you decide not to go or are you taking two planes? I laughed and said well I hadn't considered that, but why it's wheels up at 7:00. Dad laughed and said, well you better get your ass in gear as it's 6:00.

I was in my car in record time and arrived at the airport in plenty of time. I parked the car, opened the trunk and carried the bags to the Jet. The Majors were doing the pre flight check and Kathy and Riley ware chatting. Dillon and his girl were just standing there looking at the plane. I went up to them and asked are things ok? Dillon laughed and introduced Lexi and said all this still amazes me. We walked over and joined the other two. I looked around and asked where is JJ? Kathy said with the girlfriend and just then they pulled up with Dee driving. JJ jumped out grabbed his bag, and loaded it in the jet and went back to the car and gave Dee a big kiss and she simply drove off. I would have to ask about that. Before I did he came up to me and said, makeup sex. I laughed and we joined the others. Jack came up to us and said the boss said it time to jump in. He put his arm around me and asked, what's this place like? I said, I have no idea as I have never been here and it's a big deal that dad is letting us use it. I didn't know about it until he and wife 2 spent some time there and he had to tell me about it. I'm sure it will be fine but somewhat rustic. I got on the plane and Jack secured the doors and went up front with Major Jim.

Almost immediately Jack was on the speaker saying: Good evening this is your co-pilot Major McBaine and Major Messer, your pilot and I welcome you aboard MJS Airlines, please buckle you seatbelt and place you seat in the upright position. The weather will provide a smooth flight of 59 minutes 14-1/2 seconds. The temperature upon landing will be a comfortable 84 degrees, water temperature is 74 degrees, enjoy the flight. Everyone was in hysterics and it was a perfect start to what I hoped would be a fun relaxing vacation. As we started to taxi I told Dillon and Lexi that this would be a different takeoff than commercial flights, it's cool and don't be alarmed. Just then the engines roared and we were rolling down the runway and damn, I was not disappointed as it was a sharp climb. As we leveled off Jack was pack on the speaker, this time he said please feel free to move around the spacious cabin, if you are using the unisex rest room, please remember to flush. I simply shook my head and everyone laughed.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying the flight and the getting to know each other was well under way. It wasn't long when we heard from Jack again. This time it was a request for JJ to move forward and the pilot requests his presence. JJ looked sick but took Jack's place. Jack looked at me and said, Father and Son time and I just shrugged. About 10 minutes later JJ appeared all smiles and said MJ, your turn. I sat down and put the headphones on and Jim said, well I just want you to watch the landing, just watch what I do. I hit the intercom and said: This is first officer, owner and CEO of MJS Airlines, Major Messer has requested that you return to your seats and buckle up. Jim was shaking his head and said, pay attention. I said yes sir and discovered the Comm's were the same and that once I figured out where things were located, it wasn't any different, other than a hell of a lot faster. Oh and the reversal of the thrusters as it was a short field. The landing was smooth and once we were stopped, Major Jim got on the intercom and said: this is Pilot in Charge Major Messer, welcome to the finger lakes region. I apologize as my co-pilot underestimate the flight time and we were 14 seconds late. Thanks for flying MJS Airlines. On the way out Jim asked me so what did you learn? I said Major it is pretty much the same just a hell of a lot faster. So what does that tell you? I said less time to react and correct mistakes. He rubbed my head and said nice haircut.

I assisted the Majors in buttoning down the jet and others loaded the baggage in the two mini vans and we were off to the cabin. I was driving with JJ shotgun and Dillon and Lexi in the back and the others following. I had detailed directions and it was an easy 35 minute drive. I pulled into the long driveway and when I went around a bend and saw the cabin, I simply started to laugh. JJ said, fucking cabin my ass it's an estate, I'm surprised there wasn't a manned gate. I was too shocked to even respond. Jack came up and said dude, nice rustic cabin. It was much more like a rustic lodge. I opened the door and was even more blown away. It was a rustic ski lodge and I thought it was the exact opposite of Nemacolin and I loved everything I saw. The common room had a giant fireplace and a bunch of comfortable seats. The kitchen was big and fully equipped with two refrigerators and an 8 burner stove. It just went on and on. I went upstairs and there were three giant bedrooms and the couples were asked to choose. JJ and I looked around and on the main floor there was a room that had a sofa and a small desk. On looking at the sofa it was a sofa bed and we were good, well until we went to the basement and there was a giant game room with a large TV and a pool table and then we saw a room that was indeed an actual bedroom with a queen bed. JJ said MJ, the rents are two floors away and video games and a pool table. We didn't think it could be better until we went outside and fuck there was a small pool and a fire pit.

I looked in the refrigerator and it was fully stocked and the beer was cold. We were all in the common room and I called dad, as I expected it went to voicemail and I left a message. " Dad please find a dictionary and look up the definition of CABIN and then message me. letting me know how this large lodge is a fucking cabin, I love you Mike." Everyone laughed and Dillon and Lexi went to the kitchen and made snacks. The snacks were dip and chips and I made a two large bowls of popcorn and then ordered pizza. There was beer, wine, scotch and bourbon and things were great. Dad finally returned the call and said that it was a cabin when he bought it along with the 5 acres. He said it was Adam who engineered the tear down and building of what you are sitting in. He said that it is actually rented September thru December and that pays the expenses. I laughed and said well that ends once I'm done playing football. He said well that will be 15 years or so. I said have fun and hung up. Dillon asked, does that mean pro football. I laughed and said no way in hell. Jack and JJ immediately yelled, I'll take that bet and Dillon said what the hell, I'm in too. I said well washer to be determined, I'll keep it to a few thousand each.

We then discussed things to do tomorrow and I said, everyone should do whatever they wanted and that there were fireworks at 9:00. I was sure we could see them from the back. I told everyone about the boat and that it was fully filed and that no drinking and that there were life jackets and water skis. All you have to do is give dad's name. Everyone thought that was funny. Then I got serious and said, please don't consider me the boss, hell I'm JJ's buddy. It there is something you want to do, just do it. If it cost something just leave the receipt on the refrigerator and dad and I will see you get reimbursed. Well JJ, you will just get cash. Oh, the vans are available just make sure the keys are somewhere easily found. I said good night and I will be running in the morning around 6:30 and French Toast with sausage and coffee will be available till 9:00. Have a good night. I went downstairs and JJ was right behind. He said why you running tomorrow? I smiled and said I want to see if anyone shows. Look, just sleep in. MJ, what about the bet? Look JJ, it won't happen, no amount of money is worth damaging my body like that. Look MJ if you turn down all that money and fame, I'll kiss you ass under Kaufmann's clock at noon. Isn't that the place that the locals always meet. I laughed and said for a Texas asshole, you get the local shit down. I stripped and jumped into bed. JJ was right behind me and we simply fell asleep.

I hadn't set the alarm but was up at the usual time and was shocked when Dillon and Lexi were up and ready to go. They agreed to a 30 minute run as that was what they usually did. They set a more than reasonable pace. Once back I discover our room had a shower, I thought damn what is this place worth? Upstairs I put coffee on and started 36 sausage patties and cracked some eggs added milk and cinnamon and sliced Italian bread. Lexi was first and we were chatting and drinking coffee. I put a couple slices of French Toast on the griddle and heated maple syrup. Eventually everyone was there except JJ. Jim asked what was up with JJ? I shrugged and said sleeping in. Jim laughed saying, he will miss lunch as well. Then Kathy asked, I never understood how you got him to run every morning. Kathy, I just told him I did that almost every day and he shows up, it's fun and I don't ask. Kathy smiled and said I wish you were around 2 years ago. I laughed and said, so I have been told. He just needed a good friend and neither of us are angles and this isn't Texas. As we were chatting somehow the kitchen was clean. Just then JJ appeared asking if breakfast was available, Kathy said I got this and warmed up a few sausage and scrambled some eggs and made coffee. JJ just looked thinking WTF, I was sure. Things were pleasant enough but there was an undercurrent.

I grabbed more coffee and went outside. Shortly I was joined by Kathy, she sat down and was quiet. As she just sat there I got up and she said Mike I would like to chat, if you don't mind. I sat back down and she said, me cooking breakfast for JJ was me trying to be nice. I know JJ didn't see it that way but I didn't want you to think I was being a bitch. Kathy let me be clear, I appreciate you telling me that. JJ and I have become very close, he is my best friend and that doesn't begin to cover it. We share a lot of things our secrets, our dreams, our goals but the one thing we haven't shared is our relationships with the rents. The big reason for that is my relationship with my mother. That is very, very dark and when I dwell on it, I usually need professional help. He has told me a lot about his life in Texas. My life here isn't all that much different. I will say, I am very careful and totally drug free. Kathy, JJ and the guys we hang with have rules we work with but the most important rules are: WE ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHERS BACK and WHAT WE DO TOGETHER STAYS WITH US. I'll never ever break those rules but I can tell you this, JJ is a great guy and if he wasn't he wouldn't be my AMIGO. I would like you to know that I wasn't upset about breakfasts and you shouldn't give a damn if I was. Me being outside, drinking something and sitting quietly is what I do. It simply relaxes me. She got up to leave and I stoped her and said, please make sure JJ understands that you were being nice. Mike, I will certainly try.

Just then JJ appeared and his mom gave him a hug and I could tell she said something and then went inside. He pulled a chair over, plopped his ass down and asked, what was that all about? JJ, she wanted me to know that while you are a gigantic pain in the ass she loves you. Ok, what else? I laughed and said the cliff notes version of Rules 2 & 3. He looked and me and said JJ, I'm sorry I asked, fuck I should have know that. The rents and I are good, In fact dad asked me if I wanted flying lessons. MJ can you imagine us taking a jet full of buddies on spring break? We can flip on who is PIC (pilot in charge). I laughed and said and we can flip to see who pays the fuel bill. Then he asked what do you know about driving a boat? I said nothing and you? He said a little from my Texas days, but it was insane as I was usually drunk and some jerk was skiing, totally unreal that it always ended safely. I said well a sober afternoon on the lake sounds good. Just then Jack came out and said that him and Riley were going for a boat ride. I said that's great, please have them fill it up when you are finished, I'm going to learn how to water ski. He started to walk away and said, oh Dillon and Lexi will be joining us. I laughed and said, well that's more than I need to know. I laughed and said so JJ everyone is accounted for but your rents, what they doing? MJ most likely it's a long walk and exploring you acreage. JJ this is dad's gig and while I like it here, it remains his, most I would ever do here is build an actual cabin and sell Buckingham Palace. Then he said let's play some pool and I bet I beat you at 8 ball. I said that's a bet bet, and the vacation started.
