Beagle..  He'll be balding, much heavier and still a jerk.   Still married, but a womanizer.   He'll also expect Ellery to "put out" for him when he mentions coming over for a visit.   

Ellery should politely tell him no thanks, kiss Ennis in front of him, then walk away.

he would definitely be heavier, but I see him sort of as a "getting bigger" husky guy.  Never good to weigh the odds too heavily against yesteryear's jerk.  hehe

The idea of "stretching out Eddie Van Halen" might give me nightmares tonight...!!!!

What do you guys think of a slightly cleaned up Jeff Bridges a la "Big Lebowski" ?

This is the one I like of the three!

Jeanine


So do I.  But it shouldn't be on a corner, and has to have more privacy and be set on a laarger lot.

Wowowow! 
Welcome to all the new Bettermost members!!
It's a pleasure to have you here with us!!

I am glad that we haven't completely discarded the 'old Ellery', even if he is too young-looking and too pretty!  ;)
I'll try and start getting used to the new Ellery ...  ;D

well to be quite frank, I think you guys can have whatever house, character actor you like even if they are different!  As long as you don't change the El Camino!

Let's hire an architect from the university.  Plan on one bedroom, one bath, a carport, a large spacious patio entering from the bedroom and from the kitchen, with a brick veneer front and shingles on the sides and in the back, and four windows facing the street.  About a 1,000 square feet should do it.

Beagle has to be attractive.  He is only around 38, a lawyer, and he keeps himself in good shape. He poses a threat to E&Es relationship.

he isn't a lawyer actually.  His father is.  He is (though I haven't written this part yet) an insurance adjuster.

Lucise, the picture of the new Ellery is great!  Now I can see how Ennis is settling into his new relationship without forgetting Jack.  The new Ellery looks like he can handle it!
