Paid a visit to a family member to confirm that a wall-outlet modem is likely dead and needs to be replaced. Good use of time there.

Draft.

-continued part 3-

He understood the purpose behind these Saturday tours with his Dad - that it was to show everyone else that he would be part of the business, and that he could be trusted. It was also a way for his Dad to parade him around, to show others what kind of respectful child he has raised. He figured it probable that his Dad also used it all as a way to assess his future potential, by seeing how he would handle himself around these kind of people and the activities being discussed. As far as Marcus could tell, he could see the rationale behind all of this and was playing his part well. But that question still lingered within him. How long could his Dad expect everyone else to keep playing this game?

The more Marcus contemplated about it, the less certain he was that anything would remain as it is now. He knew people to be two-faced - he could see it on faces and hear it in voices. He had seen it when people at school treated him differently from others, and he caught glimpses of it from people who conducted business with his Dad. He was baffled by the duplicity of it all, how the business was a secret which so many people seemed to know about. As the city grew in more population and took in outsiders, the more difficult it would be to keep this secret shared.

It was from these Saturdays and these questions that Marcus came to decide that when he would be responsible to continue the business, he would want to reach out beyond the circle of family and friends to be his associates. But that decision brought another obstacle to answer - who could he trust as associates if not friends or family? Would he be able to simply recruit other men away from rival families? How could he seek them out?

Unbelievable what a difference 12 hours of sleep makes. I thought I played Vox Up horribly and was quite shocked to see that increase. Still can't do anything with Bloomin Feeling on random.
